My Weekly W's


What's top of my mind: I really love the new side by side refrigerator that we bought in November.  It has so much more space.  I spent the morning doing an inventory and straightening it up a bit.  I want to focus on using up last summer's veggies and fruit to make room.  I still have quite a few bags of local blueberries, so I pulled out a bag and put a few in a separate jar to use with yogurt for couple of days and then made a batch of Jordan Marsh muffins.  So good. Culinary Adventures with Lori: Search results for jordan marsh blueberry muffins

Where I've been: Breakfast with TBG yesterday and a few errands was pretty much it for the week.

Where I'm going: Next week is the yearly Herb and Garden show that I always look forward to.  We're planning on going Friday afternoon to hear a speaker from Mari-Mann which was started by a friend of my grandmothers.  Mari-Mann always brings back great memories for me. No appointments or commitments for the week, which you know I always love.

What I'm watching: American Murder-Gabbie Petito which is such a sad story.  My heart goes out to her parents everytime I hear what they went through.  The Search for Instagrams Worst Con Artist.  This was a documentary on the young woman from the movie I watched a few weeks ago Apple Cider Vinegar.  I actually felt sad for her also because she obviously has some serious issues.

What I'm reading: Nothing to speak of.

What I'm eating:
Shephard's pie and salad
Roasted chicken legs, baked potato and salad
Spaghetti and meatballs and salad
Chicken sausage, veggie rice bowl with a cheese rollup.  


Meatball subs with oven fries
Beef chili with garlic cheddar biscuit.  These are the easiest, delicious biscuits. Culinary Adventures with Lori: Savory Drop Biscuits
Tonight, we're having gulf shrimp with sides TBD.

Who needs a good slap: No one comes to mind, actually.

What's making me smile: My Ninja 14 in 1 made me smile yesterday.  I found a bag of gorgeous poblano peppers and needed to roast them to get the skins off.  After a week of temperatures in the 60's and 70's I didn't know that I was going to wake up to a weekend of highs in the low 30's.  I wasn't in the mood to grill the poblano's in the cold so I decided to try the Air Roasting setting to see if that would work and it worked wonderfully.  After 25 minutes of cook time with 15 minutes in a sealed bowl the skins came right off.  

I hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead!!

  1. I have blueberries in the freezer I need to use. The muffins sound like a great way to use them.
    I've not watched ACV yet but have it on my watchlist.
    And Bravo to the ninja for coming to the rescue with the peppers. I will try to remember this when the garden starts producing.

    1. I've tried a lot of recipes for blueberry muffins, and this is one of my favorites.
      I have used the Ninja for dehydrating herbs and veggies and now that I've tried the Airfry roasting setting, it will make processing peppers a lot quicker. It is by far my favorite multi use appliance.

  4. Your weekly meals always sound so good. I just love how convenient an air fryer can be. Mine of course is basic and only air fries

  5. It’s Middle Child’s birthday this week, so I’ll be making her request of pesto tortellini with roasted vegetables and tomato basil chicken sausage. She always wants doughnuts in lieu of cake, so I have that to look forward to 🤓
