I hope you all had a nice weekend. One of my best friends was in town so I got to meet up with her on Friday and Saturday and we talked and laughed and it was so good. Aside from a little bit of shopping and driving around we stopped for an afternoon coffee at a local bakery and we had to make it iced coffees because it was hot here yesterday. I know a lot of you are dealing with lots of snow right now – would you mind sending us some cold air at least!
Anyway, today I’ve stayed home for the most part catching up on chores and enjoying some new dishes my husband cooked up from the Anti-Inflammatory Diet cookbook. We aren’t on that diet necessarily but we do try to eat as healthy. My biggest weaknesses are sweets and baked goods. But back to the book, this morning I had breakfast cookies which have no flour, sugar or eggs. For lunch we had migas and black beans, another recipe from the book. Both were delicious!
Now, how did the weekend fly away? I have not had a chance to do much reading and although I didn’t want to start a new book just yet, I will have to because next week I have book group and I need to make sure I get the book read on time as I’m leading the discussion. So off to start A Small Death in the Great Glen by A.D. Scott.
Let me know what you were up to this weekend and if you started any new books.
It was very warm this weekend. Hoping we get some rain today or tomorrow. And I’m interested in what you think about A Small Death in the Great Glen. That’s a series I’ve meant to try for a long time.
Cookies for breakfast? That’s my kind of morning! 🙂
I am so glad you got to spend time with your friend. My weekend seemed to fly by too. We were out researching places to have my daughter’s birthday party next month. We finally settled on one, thankfully. Now I get to stress over whether anyone will come!
I hope you have a great week, Iliana!
We have soooo much snow here. There is enough for many an iced coffee after this storm!
I love snow, but I will share some of what we’ve gotten with you to drop things to the hot-coffee stage for you!
Baked goods are my weakness and nemesis too. The past few months I have been baking the cookies and treats in the OhSheGlows cookbooks. The marketing for the books really put me off, but it turned out that I love the recipes and the sugar is low (or fruit) and flours are generally nut or oat, which work brilliantly for me. They don’t feel like “second-best” treats if you know what I mean…
I hope you like A Small Death in the Great Glen– I really liked it. Good for you on a healthy diet!
Sounds like you’d a wonderful weekend, Iliana. 🙂
I’ve been reading like a storm lately as many of them are library books and I’m hoping I’ll get to them all before the due date. So far I’m enjoying the book I’m currently reading – The River at Night. So intense!
Hope you’ve a great week! 🙂
I saw the A.D. Glen series in Barnes and Noble, or a couple of the books including this first one, and I was tempted… but I’d read a review by someone who said it was pretty slow-moving. I should listen to my gut when a book appeals and not just one reviewer, because then I pass books by. I hope you enjoy it and share a thought about it sometime.
I’m curious about the anti-inflammatory cookbook. We all have inflammation as we grow older so I’ve been trying to learn more about foods that help etc.
