Welcome beautiful friends!! Grab a warm or cold drink & join me as I share the past two days!!! I hope this finds YOU well. Today is a NEW DAY!!! We have been blessed with a NEW WEEK. So, goodbye yesterday and hello....today!
Sunday started as always, as a pastor's wife and worship leader, I head out the door pretty early for music practice and then serve where needed. My husband preached out of Lamentations 3:23-24 and my HOPE was refreshed. I am so thankful the Lord gives us a new day every single day that He chooses to keep us alive on this earth. Great is His Faithfulness.
I normally cook on Sunday after church or fix something earlier that morning for us to come home and enjoy BUT it was just my husband and I, so we decided to treat ourselves to Italian. Our church is literally next door to the place. So, we walked over and it was so wonderful. I got a new dish, it was so good. It was chicken piccata. It was so light and fantastic.
I napped a little and then started working on my last summer puzzle. I bought two over the summer that I wanted to do for the summer. I love it. DO YOU LIKE PUZZLES? They have so many brain benefits!!!
We started a tradition of baking cookies on Sunday evening. We don't eat but one time all day, so this is a nice little treat. I did chocolate chip this week. The week before I did snickerdoodle.
I also have been enjoying this little Baking Newspaper subscription that I get delivered to our home. It is all about baking filled with recipes, tips, jokes, and old traditional newspaper puzzles.
Today (Monday) I woke up and said out loud...."Today is a NEW Day!!!" It really helped my mindset for the day. After my quiet time I headed out for my morning walk. It was such NICE morning!!! It has been so bad HOT here; it was a treat to have a cooler morning.
I had to pick our oldest from the airport this morning. He had a wedding on the east coast; then I had errands. We are preparing for our vacation coming up!!! I am so excited. So, lots of preparing happening. We will be gone 10 days!!
I like to do lighter and healthier meals on Monday to balance out the weekend splurges we do. It was cooler and I had all the ingredients on hand, so Vegetable Beef Soup was on the menu! I add Lipton Onion Soup packs and it makes it soooo very flavorful!! I grabbed some sourdough from Aldi while I was out because it would be too late when I got home to make my own. It turned out delish!!!

Mmmm. your soup looks wonderful. It has cooled down here and I told hubby that chili might make an appearance this week.
Have a great week, friend!
Sounds like a very nice Sunday and Monday!
We had our small group gathering right after church, so I didn't have to make lunch that day. :) We got home from that around 3:30 and had a quiet evening. My hubby would like your new tradition of making cookies on Sunday evening.
Today I had my 4 year old granddaughter over to make a tie dye sweatshirt for her and we had fun!
We had the Aldi sourdough today too, but we used it to make panini sandwiches. I'm getting ready to start making soup and chili again though!
Looks yummy!
Oh, I love a good chili!!!! Have a great week too!
Oh, that sounds so fun! Tie Dye is such a neat fun thing to do!!! Panini's sounds so good!!!!
Thanks, Christine! It was!! I'm looking forward to it tomorrow. I always think soup is best the next day!
Thank you for visiting my blog. Your menu for the week sounds delicious and I love that your profile picture shows you with a teacup and tiered server for afternoon tea.
The soup looked yummy. I use to make my meal plans for the week, however with my mom being in rehab now, that fell by the wayside and we usually grab something on the go the days I go see her. Those cookies looked good too! Janice
How lovely that your treated yourself to the Italians for lunch and I love your tradition of baking cookies on a Sunday evening. That is a fantastic way to end the week!
Yum to the soup and the rest of the meals that you have planned this week.
That sounds like a wonderful Sunday and Monday! I enjoy doing puzzles a lot but rarely work on them in summer. Come fall and winter I almost always have one going though.
Hard to believe soup season is upon us...but I'm not complaining. Somethig about a big pot of soup just gives all the cozy feels:) And my morning walks have been wonderful as well. The air was so fresh this morning. I often think that I could walk further - but then I get ahold of myself!! Let's not get crazy:)
Happy new week to you my Friend! Your menu sounds amazing and is making me hungry!! You're definitely a kindred spirit - baking cookies and loving Italian food. Lol I'm working on mastering my own sourdough starter...it's definitely a work in progress. But I'm determined to bake my own so I don't need to buy it anymore. Yes, God is sooo good and faithful. There is always such hope in that. Blessings on the rest of your week. xoxo
Hi Pamela!!! Yes, I love having a traditional tea every now and then!!!! I am so glad you stopped by!!
Hi Janice! Thank you!! It was so good. I can understand that. We all have different seasons for sure when it comes to meal planning or just grabbing things. I have them!!!
Hi Kim!!! Oh, it was so delicious!!! It was a great ending to the week! Thank you for popping by!
Hi Joanne! I also used to only do puzzles in the fall and winter. Usually, more so in the winter. But this past spring I thought it would be fun to grab one for spring to work on and I enjoyed it so much that I did the same for the summer. It helps on those hot days and also helps me pace myself to slow down some.
Jennifer, I can totally relate. When the weather is nice like this I can just walk and walk! But I would be hurting for days!!!!
Hi Carrie!!! Oh... this summer I tried a starter. I treated it like it was a baby. I had so much time and investment. It didn't make it. HAHA! I do not know what I did wrong. I have tried two times now and I can't get mine to rise properly and take off. It will rise one day and then it just stays still. It doesn't bubble up or anything. Maybe one day!!!
