It's That Time Again.....Five Things Friday!!

How on earth did Friday roll around so fast?  Not that I'm complaining or anything!  LOL  You can see last Friday's 5 things right here....

1) There are just some cookbooks that you go back to again & again.  We all have those few favourites, right?  Well, these are mine!

Those Podleski sisters have never steered me wrong and you can often find me browsing through one (or all four) over my lunch hour....just like today!

2)  Noah has been invited to a Halloween party tonight.  The hours are 7-11pm.  The kids are 10.  Is it just me or does that sound a bit late for that age group?  I told him he could go, but only until 9:30...

3)  The sun is shining today!  It's been almost 10 days since we've seen brightness here and it looks as though it will continue into the weekend.  It will be chilly, though!

4)  Chicken Cacciatore with spaghetti......it's what's for dinner tonight....

5)  I am lusting after this necklace, with my kids names, of course.

The Vintage Pearl

I really hope Santa is reading!!

Bye for now!!

Five Things Friday

Carla over at My 1/2 Dozen Daily just started up a "5 things Friday" which I thought I'd participate in.

Just a fun little post about 5 random things going on right now......

1)  There are NO extra curricular activities happening today!  No hockey games/practice, no volleyball, no dance....I'm looking forward to the work day being over so we can enjoy a family pizza & movie night!

2) I made Brie and smoked raspberry chipotle stuffed chicken breasts last night.  They turned out amazing but UGLY (!!) so I didn't take any photos!  LOL  I simply cut a slit through the bone in/skin on breast and filled it up with some smoked raspberry chipotle sauce and a thick slice of Brie.  I baked them covered for 45 mins, uncovered for 15 mins and then they got a quick hit under the broiler to toast them up.

3) While the chicken baked we got ALL the leaves in the front yard raked up.  Holy smokes, were there ever a lot more piled up then I originally thought!  However, it was a gorgeous day and they're calling for rain and cold for the next 5 days straight so it was the perfect time to get it done.

4) Jason and I are completely obsessed with Starbucks Caramel Apple Spice drink this season.  It's actually bordering on ridiculous.  Our only saving grace is that there is not a Starbucks too close to our house!  ;)

5) It's currently raining pretty hard outside and the temps have dropped since this morning.  In order to stay on the positive side of the fence, I keep reminding myself that it could very well be snow.  "Snow", by the way, is a swear word in my eyes!  LOL

Why don't you go ahead and tell me 2 random things going on right now in the comment section???

Bye for now!!
