It’s Friday. It’s Friday. It’s Friday!!
Someone is excited huh? I have a hot date with my couch tonight and frankly it’s never looked better.
My husband has been home for the last week recovering from surgery and he’s built this “nest” as we’ve been calling it on the couch.
And honestly it’s sort of the best thing ever – tons of blankets and pillows – like an awesome cocoon of soft fluffy goodness.
I may have plans to steal it for a bit this evening. Would that make me a bad wife??
But before I park myself in the pile of blankets that is calling my name, we must do dinner.
A quick and easy dinner to be exact. Like that transition? I’m so smooth.
Because we need to talk about food for at least a few minutes. It’s meals like this that have been getting me through the last few days. Simple, delicious and plenty of leftovers for lunch.
Chop up a few greek salad-esq veggies, add in a light dressing and then spoon it into a pita pocket with some hummus and fresh spinach.
You can’t go wrong with that.
