The Little Issues E-newsletter #494 – Life, laughter, and plenty of nice meals!

Welcome to the weekend, my pals! My day began with a stupendous foggy drive, yoga, after which an enormous brunch for my boys and a few of their pals. This easy bacon, tacky scrambled eggs, and a mountain of fluffy waffles added as much as full bellies and completely happy smiles as they break up off to both head for synagogue or to the fitness center. (Sure, teenage boys can apparently eat stacks of waffles after which instantly go exercise. That’s soooo not my world.)

ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: Roasting sausage with peppers and onions isn’t difficult. It’s not fashionable. However, this Super Easy Sausage and Peppers is 100% completely that dish.

You recognize the sensation. You’ve acquired possibly 10 minutes earlier than everybody begins asking for dinner, and also you want one thing quick, hearty, and really satisfying. That’s precisely once I attain for this Southwest Chicken Soup. 10 minutes, pals. And sure, I’ve timed it.

Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes are proof that somewhat additional preparation goes an extended, good distance. The key? It takes lower than a minute with a chef’s knife. Your friends will rave about these crispy edges, loaded with recent parmesan cheese and Italian parsley.

This Confetti Rice has been declared the very best rice we’ve ever made. Sure. I stated that. I served it with Crispy Italian Oven Chicken and the entire meal was a win.

Have you ever tried a mayonnaise cake? I do know, it sounds suspicious at first. Because it seems, Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake is definitely an old style recipe that was doubtless in your grandmother’s recipe field. And, happily, it has stood the check of time fairly properly. That is one incredible cake.

Isn’t fall baking season simply the very best? Wealthy and filled with heat spices, topped with the irresistible, buttery crunch of pecan streusel, this Pumpkin Crunch Dump Cake simply may be the simplest, most tantalizing dessert to return out of your oven this 12 months.

Mascarpone Ice Cream is velvety and wealthy like gelato, however has that cheesecake-like tang that makes every chew really feel completely indulgent. This isn’t a kind of cottage cheese rip offs that it’s a must to persuade your self tastes good. There’s no going again from this type of dreamy decadence.

What I’m CRAVING: This Mac and Cheese with Salami appears sooo good! My mouth is watering and I’m craving that tacky goodness in the present day. My guys love salami anytime I embrace it in a meal, so I already know they’ll love this mix.

My FAVORITE THING this week is the very fact it’s NOVEMBER! <completely happy sigh> I like the vacations a lot. In the event you aren’t already conversant in my 4 day prep for a stress free Thanksgiving, try my favourite 7 quart and 3 quart gradual cookers, they’re each on sale. (And no, we’re not cooking something in them, simply saving oven house on Thanksgiving day!)

What I’m LISTENING to: Haters, simply look away, it’s November eventually, and the Christmas music is enjoying in the present day as I do some vacation baking. I’ve no complaints with life in the present day as Bing is crooning in my ears. 

“Rejoice within the Lord at all times. I’ll say it once more: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is close to. Don’t be concerned about something, however in each scenario, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, current your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:4-7 NIV

Wishing you a stunning week crammed with little issues that make you smile!
