Weekending!

 via

Good morning!!  It has been a while since I've linked up with Biana for Weekending, so I figured I should share a few snip-bits of my weekend.  It was a good one - we cooked and ate a lot, in my opinion that always makes for good times!

Friday began with me taking over The Blog Love Project's Instagram which is always fun.  It's neat to "meet" other bloggers.


Of course I shared a picture of my cutie Paris - I seriously think she poses for the camera, she is a ham!  I also talked about my obsession love for candles and wine (shocker!) and one of my other favorite things - sunsets and luckily there was a gorgeous one to share on Friday night!

Saturday was a yucky rainy day.  The kids were getting a little cabin fever so we baked browine cupcakes.  E wanted to use ALL of the cupcake cups we had so we mixed and matched.  It was a fun little distraction for her.  She LOVES to cook and watch us cook - she also loves watching Giada - a girl after my own heart!


We also added some touches to J's Star Wars room.  It's coming out so cool, I can't wait to show you all once we're done.  Of course my husband is having a little too much fun with the decor - they are kids at heart!



Yesterday we had some friends over for dinner.  I cooked a chicken recipe that my mother-in-law passed down to me, it's so easy and delicious I need to share the recipe.  I also made this Butternut Squash Risotto - seriously, make this!  It's SO good!



What were you up to this weekend?

PS - Wednesday is Wino Wednesday!  I can't wait to hear about some new delicious wines!

I love the star wars room! So cute. Ghirardelli brownie mix is the best. I bet the cupcakes were amazing. Their dark chocolate mix is to die for! xo

Those brownie cupcakes sound amazing, especially for a rainy day. We've had way too many of those lately, I'm so sick of wet weather!

What a fun little boy's room you guys pulled off. Must check out your risotto recipe - and yes, please share the dinner one, too! Paris totally poses. But that's ok, because she's pretty much perfection ;)

Speaking of Wino Wednesday, I was actually shopping for some chardonay the other day and clicked on your blog to find what you recommend and I couldn't find a link to all your Wino Wed posts. Do you have one? I clicked the button on the side but I think it took me to your original post about it or something and at the time, I didn't have time to search through all the posts so I was left to fend for myself LOL. I'd be interested in re-seeing all of them if you have the link!
