lazy sunday project: links & winners


For some reason when I say the title of this post to myself I keep wanting to say "links & wieners" {giggles}, I'm actually really out of it today.  Practically every night this week I didn't get to bed any earlier then 2am. I hate it.  The night before last it was more about 3:30am and I'm not a night person by any means, but I just can't seem to relax my mind enough to rest.  Well my husband has been sick all week and I decided I would take some Nyquil with him around 8pm, ummmm let's just say this girl got the best 13 hours of sleep she could have ever asked for!  I'm so grateful that it is lazy sunday because I have officially caught up on sleep, but I can still be lazy around the house while finishing some orders, doing light chores and returning emails all while in my pajamas workout clothes (heavenly!)  Todays lazy post is called THINGS.  Basically things I'm loving/watching/sharing/doing, plus I'm announcing the winners of the group giveaway.  To view other lazy sunday project posts go here.

  1. Brussel sprouts - slice them in fourths and toss them in a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast them for about 35 minutes. When they are done, top them with a balsamic vinegar reduction (1/4 cup bals vinegar and 1 tablespoon brown sugar....simmer it together for about 5 minutes until the sugar melts).

    Por the balsamic vinegar over the brussel sprouts and then top with fresh parmesan cheese. SO GOOD!! I hated brussel sprouts until I tried them this way :).

    2. Agreed! Roasted brussel sprouts is the way to go. I just do the olive oil & salt and actually enjoy them. I may have to try the balsamic & brown sugar idea too!

  8. Wonderful list of links! I am the opposite, I'm a night girl through & through- work screws with me because my natural sleeping habit is to get tired around 4am- when I'm on holidays I slip right into it & feel like myself again! I find I lose myself in my baking & crafting through the night more easily too!
