Royally Waiting Link-Up #7

It’s time for this week’s link-up!

Cooking…

As this gal tries to get back to a low carb way of eating, I’m starting to venture out a little more with some recipes. I’m getting pretty burned out on having the same things over and over again. I’ve added broccoli to my regular meal planning. To this, I am still shocked. I’ve never liked it and yet, here I am trying to find new ways to use it in my meals. Broccoli aside, I’ve been trying some recipes that I’ve had sitting on my Pinterest board for a while. This Jalapeño Popper Smothered PorkChop recipe is AMAZING! I’ve shared this recipe with several people at work and they are equally in love. I opted to prepare it with the stove top to oven method and it did not disappoint.

Reading…

 

I’ve begun reading “ThingsI Wish I’d Known Before We Became Parents” by Gary Chapman. I’m close to half way in and I truly do wish I had read it before having our daughter. However, there are SO many suggestions that are still completely applicable. I hope my hubby is ready because I have acquired some great (at least in my opinion) ideas.

Swooning…

I’m swooning over our friends’ new baby. I love him. His brothers have both graciously shared their magical baby dust in the past so I’m hoping this little guy is up to the task.

Designing…

 

I’ve never created a piece of jewelry until now. My sweet hubs is getting me a necklace from Rachelle-isms and I could not be more thrilled. She does beautiful work and I cannot wait to receive my special piece. I look forward to sharing the story behind it. Thanks Rachell!

Breaking…

::via::

 Spring Break is right around the corner and if ever I’ve needed a break, the time is now. 1 week and counting!
