The Friday 5

Image
Hi friends – happy Friday! In today’s episode of the Friday 5, I’m sharing 5 happier things unrelated to the craziness going on in our world. I’m trying to carry on as “normal” as possible, if you know what I mean. And, if you’re looking for tips and advice for staying healthy, be sure to head over to Instagram and follow my content there. I’ve been sharing a lot of workouts and motivation! P.S. Check out this podcast episode I recently recorded for the ABCs of Matrescence. We chat about motherhood, entrepreneurship, and life with ulcerative colitis. 1. AllBirds Tree Runners I recently earned a pair of these shoes as an inventive gift from Beautycounter, and I am in love. In. Love. I can’t believe I’d waited so long to try AllBirds. I mean, I bought a pair for Mal a couple of years ago after hearing how comfy they are, but never thought to buy myself a pair… and Mal raves about his and wears them ALL the time! And, of course, I plan to wear my Tree Runners all Spring. Bonus: the

The Real Tiger King

We’ve been watching Tiger King on Netflix like the best of them. But you guys know where the real tiger king lives? Right here in our house. The Real Tiger King… … has a lion’s mane of curls and can roar louder than a liger! Here he is looking fierce in the wild. The Real Tiger King can sprint faster than a Cheetah when he’s on a mission. Good luck catching him. He even sports a Wildcat on his hat. Nobody messes with the Real Tiger King because when he gets mad, he gets maaaaaad. We’ve been loving the show, which reminds me a lot of the S Town podcast. I hear there is a Tiger King podcast too! It’s unfortunate that we have no car trips planned for months to listen. Here’s my impression of Joe Exotic and his mullet Baby Back Ribs Is it too far to make a tiger –> ribs joke?! We had some glorious warm weather over the past week, and Thomas smoked two racks of ribs he pulled from the freezer.   We served them with garlicky beans and roasted sweet potato wedges. Maze

Apple Cobbler Recipe (With Hazelnuts)

This apple cobbler recipe has a nutty twist! It’s a delicious combo that makes a perfect dessert. This apple cobbler recipe is nothing short of perfect for the holidays. It’s light on the stomach (great after a heavy, holiday meal!), full of delicious, apple and cinnamon flavor and smells like pure heaven while it’s in the oven.

This cobbler definitely exudes that feeling. And since this year is a bit different, this is a great dessert to enjoy for smaller gatherings as well. Plus, it freezes well if you have leftovers that
