Hey hey! Happy Friday! Did you have a good week? Whatās on the agenda this weekend? Inquiring minds (uh, mine, at least) wanna know. For me? Well, I think today and Sunday are “work” and Saturday is a little more “play”… because balance. As usual, letās kick off this nice, balanced weekend the right way by looking back at some of our favorite things from the week.
- Experimenting in the kitchen
This is one of my favorite things to do, and it pretty much falls to the wayside when Iām studying for exams. With all that nonsense out of the way for a couple of weeks, Iāve taken advantage of a little bit of the extra time to play. Iāll be honest and say these little peanut butter cookies arenāt perfect (yet!), but theyāre not bad to have around… especially with those huge chunks of chocolate. š
You can kinda see it in the corner of the above photo (or you can click the link to actually see it…), but my mom gave it to me last weekend. Itās extra dainty and just a nice little reminder of love. And, of course, itās for a good cause.
Last night, I was craving yoga, but not super vigorous strength-building yoga. I just needed to calm down and focus on the movements, ya know? Well, this was perfect for that. Like, whoa. It was still challenging (and so hot), but it was mostly about flowing through different balance progressions and not about long holds. I would definitely do it again.
Yoga makes me all sorts of hungry, so when I got back to the apartment, I needed food fast. I threw together quick dinner of a mahi mahi burger, sweet potato, bell peppers, and this avocado toast, which was pretty much the highlight (even though it was all really tasty). Unlike my last avocado, the ones I got this week were amazing - perfect for everything from salad to avocado toast to just eating plain with a little salt and pepper.
I love following Glennon. The words she posts are often exactly what I need, even when I didnāt realize I needed it.
Go do what your heart tells you is important and have a wonderful weekend. Talk to ya next week.
Whatās your favorite way to eat avocado?
Do you follow any uplifting social media accounts? Which ones?
What are you loving this week?
Linking up with Heather
I like following Happster and Quotezie. There is always something good on one of those two!
I love avocado with eggs. I wish I could eat it forever. Also, this chocolate chunks looks heavenly for me. Good job!
Maybe this is sad, but the only social media accounts I find uplifting are all the cute pug accounts on instagram š Hahahaha!
Experimenting in the kitchen is DA best, and you REALLY know how to do the most beautiful ‘avocadoā flowers! :))) My favorite social media accounts actually are many of the BGB Community gals + fellow sisters in Christ who are recovering from eating disorders… š
Kitchen experimenting is one of my favorite things to do when I have some extra time, too! Those PB cookies look great, even if just for the melty chocolate chips. Iām having a majorrrrr chocolate PB craving now! (although when am I not craving that? haha!)

Yummy, Ellen, those cookies look delectable!! Will you post them when you perfect them?? šš½. I love avocado toast (though Iām super-picky about my bread), but I love avocado on just about everything. Probably my favorite is either as a spread for a lunchmeat sandwich or as guac and chips. šš
Iāll eat avocado on about anything! So delicious on homemade burrito bowls or even soup! š
