After posting to Instastories that Lanier and I were thinking of starting Yellowstone, a new series starring Kevin Costner, the outpouring of accolades convinced us to try it. We’re only halfway through the first episode, but so far we’re loving it. I mean anything with Kevin Costner and I’m golden! And can we talk about the scenery? Simply breathtaking. Reminds me so much of John Ford.
Lanier created this dish a few weeks ago and I promised y’all I’d share the recipe. He finally took some time to write it out, as he usually just “wings” it. But as his dishes always are, it was delicious! When we were first married, he used to concoct all kinds of yummy dinners for us, but work and life in general have put that on pause. But every now and then, he whips up something and every time, it’s mouth-watering good. I envy his ability to put something together so quickly…and so tasty. I’ll be the first one to admit I’m not the handiest person in the kitchen, but I do make a mean pot of Kraft Mac & Cheese and my Stouffer’s Lasagna is delish!

He uses this device to spiralize the zucchini. On sale for $19.99 and works like a charm!
Savoring these summer nights. Racing down the driveway! Cherish how well they still play together.
For those asking about our beloved Boozer the Boston, he’s still kickin’! Hard to believe he’ll be 12 in just a few months.
At night, I love a comfy, long-sleeve shirt to toss-on. As soon as I tried this one on, I was sold (also available here). Love the stripes and the fact that it’s a little longer. I have a feeling I’ll be grabbing this one over and over.
My Sailboat Top is now 40% off and currently available in all sizes!
Oh, and I just got this top yesterday and love it so much! A great quality, not see-through and will go with so much. I’ll share a pic of how I style it soon. Currently 40% off and available in all sizes, making it only $18! Can’t beat that!
Happy Thursday!
