The Friday 5

Image
Hi and happy Fri-yay! It’s been a great first week of June (my favorite month!). We’re one week down with the Macro Tracking Challenge … just 12 days to go, which means 12 days until I enter my last year in my thirties! It’s been awesome watching you all kick butt at the challenge, and I definitely appreciate the extra accountability. Now that it’s the weekend, so we’ll see how things go! 😉 Anyway, today’s edition of the Friday 5 is a mix-match of things from kitchen tools to skincare savers and my favorite sunglasses. I hope you enjoy it – and I hope you enjoy your weekend, friends! 1. Fullstar Cutter-Veggie Spiralizer + Vegetable Pro-Food Chopper and Dicer   – I didn’t think I needed yet another kitchen gadget, but my friend convinced me I needed this chopper. And honestly, it’s been the best $20 I’ve spent in a while. It is a game-changer for meal prep, cutting the time it takes to cut veggies by more than half! You can see it in action in this video . 2.

With June here, we’re all about grilling. For some lighter fare, we love these Primal- and keto-friendly kabobs with summer veggies. Primal Kitchen® Lemon Turmeric Dressing and Marinade makes this dish incredibly easy and flavorful—without much time and effort on your part. Just a few minutes at the kitchen, another few at the grill, and this delicious, low-carb dinner is served. It’s great for a quick family meal or an impromptu get-together. Ingredients: Bag of Jumbo Shrimp (16-20/pound) 2 Medium Red Bell Peppers 1 Large Yellow Squash 1 Large Red Onion 1 Large Zucchini 1 cup of Primal Kitchen Lemon Turmeric Dressing and Marinade 3 Tbsp. Fresh Italian Parsley 1 Lemon Sea salt and black pepper (to taste) Optional: 2 cups of Butter Lettuce (or other greens of choice) Instructions: Let shrimp marinate in Primal Kitchen Lemon Turmeric Dressing and Marinade for 15-30 minutes. Wash and chop vegetables into bite-sized chunks (about 1 1/2-inch pieces). Alternate vegetable

Blacked Out

Man I drank too much tequila last night. KIDDING! The only thing we’re over consuming in this house is watermelon. Watermelon teether Today’s topic is black out curtains You guys know I dragged my feet putting up black out curtains. For a few reasons: The cost of the curtains + rods Drilling into plaster walls I didn’t want part of my house feeling like a cave I love the clean look of blinds But ultimately none of those reasons were really a big deal. I bought the curtains and rods from Target at a good price, Thomas is a pro with the drill, and I’m just having to put a little effort into opening the curtains after each nap. I think they make the room look a bit more formal and dressed up. Maybe I am a curtain person after all! Blythe Pottery Barn Dresser + Changing Topper // Rocking Chair The curtains Little Z Sleep recommended the Pillowfort ones , so I ordered them from Target in white with a blue trim. GREAT PRICE! They 100% black out the room, and I love that
