Happy Sunday! How’s your weekend been?

Welcome to my little weekly gratitude list. Here are a few things that have made me smile recently:

1.) Because the internet is crazy, every few months I do a google search on myself to make sure I have all my professional profiles and social media are up to date. Once in a while, I find stuff I’d all but forgotten about.

Case in point: this article on the best spring foods for the whole family. Aside from talking about tasty superfoods, I love when I get to feature other RDs. In this piece, we have Laura Gibosfky and Lisa Brown sharing their awesome tips and tricks.

2.) “Everything passes, everything changes, just do what you think you should do.” Bob Dylan said that. I’ve been going back to this for weeks.

3.) Puppy kisses.Does this guy know how to party or what?

4.) Warm(er) spring rain. And a waterproof jacket.

5.) Espresso.

6.) My grandmother’s traditional Greek leg of lamb recipe, which I like to think she wouldn’t mind my lightening up a little for Friday night’s cooking class. To all my vegan and vegetarian friends, I’m sorry if I offend you with my meat-loving ways, but my goodness…there’s a good reason lamb was my “gateway meat” back into the land of the omnivorous back in 2012. It was delicious served with a side of horta (greens). 

Recipes to come. Speaking of recipes, you can totally make the dessert we enjoyed by using my dark chocolate coconut granola recipe to make a topping for Greek yogurt—great with berries and a little honey or maple syrup. 

Have a great rest of your day!
