February Blues & FriYAY Favorites!

19 February 2016

Happy FriYAY!

I love every season because there are many, many magical elements to each one!
That being said around mid to late February I truly start missing the abundance of fresh produce and brightly flavored dishes that spring and summer bring us, along with the sights and smells of spring that we are beginning to crave!
These are my top 5 ways to kick the February blues and get ready to welcome spring!
Friday Favorite #1:  
Around this time I've had my fill of soups, stews and roasts so when I stumbled upon this recipe on Pinterest  I just HAD to try it! Thankfully you can still find decent zucchini, although smaller in size and fresh cilantro in the store year round. If your craving something fresh, bright and satisfying for your palette then try this!

Asian Turkey Meatballs with Lime Cilantro Dipping Sauce

Servings: 4 • Size: 3 meatballs w/ sauce • Points +: 7 pts • Smart Points: 7

Side note: I opted to use the sauce drizzled over zoodles instead of strictly for dipping. So yum!
Friday Favorite #2: Smell
 I love my oils for many reasons but had this blend diffusing while I was cooking and it was giving me a fresh perspective.


Friday Favorite #3: Sight
If a bunch of fresh cut tulips don't scream spring then I don't know what does!
Do yourself a favor and buy some and place them where you can see them all day long.

Friday Favorite #4: Laughter
I fill up my instragram feed with a nice mix of funny and inspiring.
I saw this one this morning and immediately thought, that is SO me!
Because TACOS!
Friday Favorite #5: Sound

I need music to be the background of everything, especially when I'm cooking. I blast music in the kitchen, break out in a dance and my kids think I'm certifiably CRAZY but they eventually give in and join me! It's usually Adele that is blaring during meal prep BUT this has become my new favorite album because it is pure genius from the lyrics to the sound and the vocals.

Chris Stapleton is crazy talented and the future of country music.
Give it a listen.



Enjoy your weekend and this mild weather we are going to be blessed with before ANOTHER batch of snow next week.

Happy FriYAY!
