This week was slow. It dragged for me, yet here we are again on Friday. Funny how that happens.
My husband was out of town for work for 5 days and it made me wonder how the heck I made it through that 9 month deployment. Man, the beginning of Dad being gone is always the toughest.
I hoped to get more cooking in but that always seems to be the case, but let’s see what I was loving on this week’s edition of Friday Favorites.
Favorite food
There were no really amazing dinners with the hubs being gone this week. It’s a miracle that I got the kids fed, bathed and to bed on time. This caprese salad will always be a favorite because it involves no real recipe and it’s so darn good. All mine!
Favorite product
I’ve told you about my love for Nuttzo before, but I think I’ve only become more obsessed. This jar is my beloved. It’s all for me. I eat a big ol’ spoon of it everyday and I don’t share. Organic 7 nut & seed butter in chocolate and so good. I am proud to be one of their loyal Ambassadors. To get a 15% off your Go Nuttzo order, use the promo code nutritiouseats-15
Favorite tool
I have mentioned this before but I am loving Cooking Light’s online meal planner. I don’t use it for a true meal planning because I make a lot of my own recipes, but it gives me ideas just based on the photo gallery with easy to access recipes. And now I know I am making falafel next week for sure!
Favorite picture(s)
We walk the older kids to school everyday so the two littles ride in the bike trailer or double jogger and when I looked over as we were waiting on big brother and sister I saw this…..and about died.
Cuteness overload!!
I LOVE how he’s holding her leg in some and foot in some. I seriously just stare at this pictures and smile.
One more….I. CAN’T. HELP. IT. SO. CUTE!
And before I go (I could’t really fit this into today’s favorites) for all you Twilight fans this might be of interest, my husband spent the last 5 days stomping through the woods in Forks, Washington. He doesn’t know much about the Twilight series but that is where the books were based so I made sure he came back with pics from his motel room. How funny is that?

That is too cute! Your kids not the Twilight inspired hotel. That’s just wrong…and I loved the books. I can see super fans flocking to Forks to “see” where Bella and Edward fell in love. Gag!

I know, lol. Super creepy especially for a guy that doesn’t know anything about the series.
