I know I was posting about avocado recipes last week, but I’m not over my avocado kick yet at all – these chicken and avocado burritos are a perfect quick dinner, quick lunch, quick anything. And sooooo satisfying. Pinterest link is here and the original recipe can be found here.

Just because the holidays are over doesn’t mean I’m ready to give up eating cookies, people! This recipe couldn’t be easier, because it starts with a box of cake mix. It’s still baking from scratch if you put it in the oven yourself, right? Pinterest link is here, and the original recipe can be found here.

Trying to eat breakfast, or a healthier breakfast? Or just want chocolate and peanut butter for breakfast? Yeah, I only put my hand up for the last one too. Fortunately this chocolate peanut butter breakfast shakes is healthy, easy, and tasty, so it checks ALL the breakfast boxes. Pinterest link is here, and the recipe is right here.

I suppose this is a great idea for kids’ dress up activities, but who doesn’t just want to have a cat or fox mask for themselves sometimes? Now you can whip one up in no time with this wonderful free crochet pattern. Pinterest link is here, and the original DIY is here.

If you are a bit sad that you’ve put away all your holiday decorations (sniff, sniff), why not take the opportunity to craft some new decor with pom pom flowers? Them look whimsical in mason jars, and would be fun to have in surprising little corners of your house where real flowers or plants won’t hack it. Pinterest link is here, and the original DIY can be found here.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! Anyone getting up to anything crafty this weekend, or trying something new?
