eye candy

The past week was busy {yawn}

I worked late last night [dance party until 1am at the university]

but am looking forward to a day at home to relax a bit

and catch up with a friend who is in town for the weekend [yay].

I tried some new recipes this past week,
 but was always in a hurry and

didn't get any photos [sorry].

 I recommend these recipes and 

hope to take some photos the next time around:

pork chops & apples
easy way to do pork chops that don't dry out.

saucy bbq chicken
loved this bbq sauce,
I don't want to waste my time with store-bought
when i typically have all these ingredients on hand.

spicy pasta with sweet potatoes
I'd call it a Thai-inspired pasta,
very tasty

With valentine's day on the horizon,
i thought i'd leave you with some
eye candy
usually, i save all my home decor ideas to tumblr
but thought i'd highlight a few here...

beautiful quilt from elise

less-is-more farmhouse from apartment therapy

entry space from heather

magnetic chalkboard from julie
