A Day Off...

Hey there, readers! Ever have one of those days where you are just spent? I'm having one today. My brother-in-law Patrick left Chicago last night after an extended weekend visit with us. It was a ton of fun, but I am having a tough time adjusting to reality again and accomplishing everything on my To Do List that I neglected while he was in town.

So, I am taking this Tuesday "off" and will return tomorrow with a yummy What's For Dinner Wednesday post.

I need a little time off after 5 days spent with these two jokesters...

In the meantime, enjoy a few of my favorite recent posts from around the internet and blog world...

A recipe for ricotta pizza with peaches c/o The Law Student's Wife. How summery and delicious does this look?

Have you seen this hilarious Comedy Central video about how women can't accept compliments? It's a bizarre phenomenon, but totally true!

I don't know if I am talented enough to make this, but check out this Smitten Kitchen Hot Fudge Sundae Cake. It looks totally amazing! How impressed would you be if you came over and I had whipped this up?

What's your social media style? Find out on Lemon Stripes!

I'm a Buzzfeed fanatic and they recently shared two lists that really spoke to me: 30 Signs You're Almost 30 (I'm less than a month from 29...) and 49 Things People From Upstate New York Love. I'm not a native, but I spent 5 years at school in Syracuse so these made me giggle. I still love Wegman's!

One of the best blogger recipes I have tried in a while from one of my favorite food blogs: Caprese Chicken Nachos with Marinated Tomatoes from Iowa Girl Eats. Give these a try-- so good!

My good friend Kit over at The Kittchen recently ran a Kickstarter campaign to fund her cookbook The Gourmet Grilled Cheese. Check out her thoughts on using Kickstarter.
