ONE. Chocolate.
If you haven't heard of Sarris Chocolate, this is going to change your life. It's really famous chocolate (in the Pittsburgh area) and its so delicious I cannot keep my hands off of those Peanut Butter Meltaways. My mom sent us some for Easter... the meltaways also come in the form of a giant peanut butter-filled egg. Don't judge. The good news is you can order online!
Side note, anyone else still get an Easter basket (or box in my case) from your momma at age 28? Mom's are the best.
TWO. Herbs.
I love cooking with fresh herbs so I decided to try my hand at growing some in our back patio area this year. I'm not known for having a green thumb, so we'll see how this goes! I've got parsley, basil, cilantro, and rosemary. It smells so good!
THREE. Easter Sale.
I don't have a lot of Easter decor for around the house so when I saw this felt wreath at Target I knew I had to get it on sale after the holiday. Sure enough, it was half off this week! Sad that it's going straight into storage but it will still be pretty next year!
FOUR. New Blog Header.
Anyone notice the new blog header? I thought it was time for a mini-blog facelift. I've got some other plans in the works so stay tuned!
FIVE. Weekend Plans.
Anyone have fun plans for the weekend? I think Ruby has the right idea (she gets her staples out this morning. Yay!) I plan on doing some of this in the gorgeous 88 degree weather we're supposed to have this weekend! I don't know about you but I'm really hoping to get something I can call a tan, my makeup doesn't match my face anymore...
I hope you all have a fab weekend!
Love that herb planter! And your new header is lovely!

ReplyDeleteYour new header looks great! Your herbs are looking good too girl :) If I give you my address and send you some moolah can you hook a sister up on some chocolate?? Just teasing, sounds delish! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteSarris Pretzels are amazing! I have a friend who is from Pittsburgh who introduced them to me. :) Glad Ruby is on the mend!
ReplyDeleteYay I'm so glad someone else understands how good they are! :) And thanks for the kind words about Ruby!
DeleteSarris candies?! Are you from the 'Burgh AND you live in Charleston? We are long lost sisters. :) We lived in the 'Burgh for 6 six years and my friend's family owns Sarris.
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am!! What a coincidence!! The Sarris family is so great, they give back so much so I never feel bad about overpaying for their delicious chocolate.. haha!
Deletethat chocolate sounds SO good! ive never had it before but i am sure it is delicious! (especially with peanut butter!!) xo jillian - cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteOh Ruby, melt my heart why don't ya! Girl, we planted two boxes of fresh herbs and lost one to April frost.... I wish you much luck!
ReplyDeletelove your little herb garden! adorable.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! :)
DeleteLove the header! I'm impressed you're doing the herb garden. I bought a basil plant and put it in a big Mason jar on the porch; that counts, right? I want to try cilantro now thanks to you! Have a great weekend lady :)
ReplyDeleteLoving the new blog header! Looks like Ruby and I have the same plans for the weekend :)
ReplyDeleteYAY for fresh herbs. It makes cooking so much more fun. Happy Friday :)
ReplyDeleteYou will love having fresh basil and cilantro around! I picked up a couple pots this week too. And I always stock the post-holiday sales for next year's decorations. Love the new header too! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! And you're so right, they are growing like crazy and I love having them around for whatever I'm cooking! :)
DeleteSo glad Ruby is feeling better and enjoying the sunshine! I'll be on the look out for that chocolate. Sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love that you are brave enough to try growing your own herbs! I totally considered it this season but wimped out - I'm afraid I'll kill them!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, mine are growing so much already! Did you try starting with the plants or seeds? Mine were plants.. so much easier as long as they get enough sun!
DeleteRuby's idea for the win! Sunbathing pups are the best! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for the herbs growing! Cannot wait to move in so we can get our garden started! xx
I love Sarris chocolate covered pretzels.
ReplyDeleteYay! I knew there had to be others out there that would understand how good they are! haha :)
DeleteWe lived in Pittsburgh for a long time. Sarris' candies are the best. I found your blog via the link up. I am also in Charleston! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by!! Such a small world that you are in Charleston and lived in the Burgh! We should get together sometime!
Deletelove the herb planter!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to try those peanut butter meltaways, they sound delicious! My mom totally gave my husband and I Easter baskets this year and we are 26...it's great :)
ReplyDeleteAren't Moms the best?! haha I didn't even realize chocolate as my number one makes me look like a total sweet tooth, but I suppose that is okay with me :) Checking your blog out now!
ReplyDeleteAwwww sweet Ruby. Glad she is on the mend and enjoying some sunshine :)
ReplyDeleteOh man that chocolate looks delicious! I love the idea of a herb planter.
ReplyDeleteYou've definitely sold me on the chocolate (not that it's very hard to do)! Love your little herb garden, I'm hoping to do that as well when we get out of the city. It's amazing how much fresh herbs can improve a dish. Happy Monday!
