Heyyyyy!
Happy Friday, friends! Did this week fly by for anyone else? I feel like it was just Monday morning, and I was pouring myself an iced coffee. I swear, Tuesday through this morning was a whirlwind. Whoa. Time warp. Anyway, it’s my favorite day of the week (FRI-YAY!), so here is the next edition of What I’m Loving Lately!

White Chocolate Mac ‘n’ Cheese – Well, this recipe definitely caught my attention. It calls for 1 cup of white chocolate chips (for real) + all sorts of delicious cheeses, so, of course, I’m super curious about it. I might just have to make it. Related: It’s also known as “Crack Mac.”
New hand towels for our master bathroom РI looked at 3 (yes, 3!) different Kohls to buy these hand towels with no luck. I ended up giving up and buying these ones instead, but then I found these at Target, which are by far my favorite of the bunch. Phew. Who knew bathroom d̩cor was so difficult? Haha!

Enjoy the weekend, friends!!!
I’ve made the flat bread! I add 2 tsp psyllium husk flakes and 1/4 tsp baking powder and it makes it much more “bready”!
I feel like this week has flown by as well. Love the new idea on cooking bacon. I tried it yesterday and it is soooo much easier!
All things fall and Madewell, yes! Also love Joanna and Chip, they do the most amazing redesigns.
I have those trolley bags. When you check out, you can put several bags in one and carry out. Not bad!
I recently baked bacon in the oven for the first time. Life changing!!!
Have a great weekend!
I wish I felt like this week flew by 🙂 It’s been kind of dragging over here!
That going to college in the 90s is spot on. I got my first email address and it was the first time I rely used a computer too. Wow do I feel old now!
Oooooh – those blondies…!
I’m so intrigued by that macaroni and cheese! I definitely want to try it!
This week was super long for me. I don’t know why except I was really busy. Can’t wait for the weekend!! That flatbread looks delicisous
So many great recipes to try out! Hope you have a great weekend 🙂
So this weekend I’m making bacon, mac n’cheese and peanut butter blondies? haha Thank you for the great finds, have a great weekend!
Let me know how the crack mac is because that just seems a little odd.
And my husband found those trolley bag things on the internet and showed them to me! They are genius!
I love Fixer Upper and want to try all those design ideas!!
Ahh, that guy posing as Target Customer Service must have had the best catharsis ever! I hope Target takes it easy on him. 🙂 And those Trolley Bags: a friend of mine posted them on Facebook last week, and I immediately decided that I’m getting those for everyone for Christmas. EVERYONE.
SO HAPPY IT’S THE WEEKEND!!
omg I just read that whole target article and laughed out loud at all the responses. amazing! thank you for posting that 🙂
I’m so unbelievably excited for Fall clothes. I can’t wait!
A sad occurrence…no more bacon at my house. But I imagine baking it would make your whole house smell delicious!
Not sure on the trolley bags. They’re super cute…but wondering if they may not be more hassle than its worth?
We love cooking bacon in the oven! Doesn’t stink up the house!
Happy Friday, Tina! Thanks for all the good reads. Brownies, bacon and flatbread? I’m interested in all of them!
I discovered the “baking” your bacon a couple of months ago–TOTAL game changer, you’ll never go back to the stovetop!
I almost always cook bacon in the oven now. So much easier to clean up! That Target thing: hilarious. And I love those trolley bags!
Pinning the Peanut Butter Cup Blondies and making them this weekend! And the paleo flatbread! Thanks for the links!
I don’t have the patience to wait for the oven to preheat so I always fry my bacon and keep the bacon grease in a jar.
Definitely not too soon for fall shopping! I’m loving it as well 🙂
That list of stuff about college in the 90s is so funny because I’m not much younger than you, but I started college in 2003, and besides having land lines in our dorm, none of this applies 😀 my husband too, talks about how different things were between when he started college and when he graduated
All of those recipes made me hungry… and that avocado trick is genius!! Thanks for sharing!! 😀
Loved all your “loves” Tina and just spent a good chunk of time checking out practically every link. I like the Target towels and may buy them too! Also the Madewell shoes. Thanks! :o)
Wow, that white chocolate mac n’ cheese caught my eye right away. I wonder if it’s sweet? Because that doesn’t sound super appetizing to me. ;D
Oooh that paleo flatbread! I want to try it too!
Tina,
I have been following you for years and I have never commented. I love watching your family grow, you are simply the best. Thank you for sharing your life with us!
