My Favourite Pins This Week

An easy weeknight dinner that is full of protein and veggies? Sign me up. This lemon chicken orzo dish is delicious! The recipe is obviously a tie-in for a particular brand of spring mix, but they don’t even have that kind of salad mix here in Canada so I just use a normal mixed green salad and it was probably exactly the same. Which is to say, tasty! Pinterest link is here, and the full recipe can be found here.

Peaches are in season, and I couldn’t be happier- even though I secretly prefer their non-fuzzy counterparts, nectarines. Peach fuzz is weird to me. I feel same about kiwis – I like the fuzzy fruit, but just not the fuzz. I digress! This recipe for amazing peach crumble bars is the perfect end of summer dessert, and works with nectarines, to.

Looking to try out a new stretchy bind off? This tutorial for an icelandic bind off gives a nice stretchy edge and is easy to work, once you get the rhythm. Pinterest link is here, and the full tutorial can be found here.

If you are gifting a gift card any time soon, I highly recommend this gift wrapping tutorial to make the presentation a little more special – and prevent that card from going missing! A perfect way to reuse those tiny tea cannisters, too. Pinterest link is here, and the full tutorial is here.

I hate blog post lists that are too long – “75 things to do on the weekend to have your best Monday!” – Like I’m going to spend my entire weekend prepping for Monday. I already never manage to cross off everything from my epic to do list. But 7 things on a Sunday, one of which is catching up with friends in real life, or try a new recipe, and do some reading? Yup, that’s the sort of list I can behind. Pinterest link is here, and the full list of ideas is here.

Have a gorgeous weekend! I hope you get to do your favourite things. 🙂
