Happy Sunday, friendly faces! 🤓
You know those days where everything goes wrong to the point where you just can’t help but laugh? That was me on Thursday. And Friday. Which is why there was no post on Saturday. I was working on a recipe that sounded so perfect in my head, but would.not.work no matter what I did. I probably should have thrown in the towel and made something else, but I’m stubborn AF and didn’t want to admit defeat. I’m still not admitting defeat… only a postponed victory 😜
Thankfully, yesterday brought many successes in the kitchen, but I’ll share those with you starting tomorrow, because today is all about the link love!
Hope you guys are having a fantastijazzical weekend. If you need me, I’ll most likely be watching the Euro 2016 final ⚽️

Amanda, I have totally friggin been there–you have this recipe you just *know* is gonna rock all of the socks off of every-thang. But then you make it. And it doesn’t turn so out well. Or at all. Frustrating AF, for sure. So I’ll be rooting you on til your postponed victory!! 🙂 Is it too soon for a fistpump? Lol. Thanks for including my Vegan Ice Cream Bars. Looking forward to shouting “VICTORY!!” Johnny Drama-style when your postponed recipe comes out. 😉
Yesterday: Ab workout by fitness blenders, laundry, drafted blog post for next week
Today: Meal prep for the week, walk by the river, and created my first freebie – free diet analysis. Check it out here: simplifyingnutrition.com/work-with-me
Haha I was clicking through links opening them up and was like oh this apologies one is good – I should click on that! Haha what a weirdo. Thanks for including me!!
I’ve done olive oil and pesto before as pizza bases, although I love the idea of a white sauce, especially with fresh herbs on top.
How about you be my person?
You’re already my person <3
Story of my life! Haha. I definitively agree. Postponed victories will be happening! Can’t wait to see! Xxoo
Yesterday: worked on some blog work, watched a lot of netflix, went to a graduation party
today: food prep, work out, try not to cry that it’s sunday and the work week is already tomorrow haha!
Also, you dont have to answer this if you dont want to, totally understand. But, how long did you blog for before you were able to do it full time?
I don’t mind answering that! It was about 2.5 years.
haha don’t we all have recipes that sound so great but we can’t seem to get quite right! Thank you for this link up and have a great week 🙂
Hope your week is off to a great start too, Rachel!
This sounds like me last weekend when I made one recipe three times before I finally got it right. Sometimes it’s just not meant to be I guess! This weekend I’ve been wrapping up work and taking it easy as I recover from the flu. Today packing for Blogfest!
So glad you finally made something work yesterday, recipe testing just sucks sometimes! Yesterday I also worked on a couple of recipes and one was actually good, also grocery shopped and wrote my post for today. Today is more of the same I’m afraid although I hope to sneak in some sort of outing with my girls. I think I’m in need of a break!
I definitely needed it to soothe my wounded pride 😆 Hope you managed to get a break in!
I like that science article about dieting! 3 things yesterday – easy run, ordered new carpet (!!), went shopping at the outlets…3 things today – work must get done this morning, packing my son’s trunk for camp, out for dinner
I hate when that happens && it totally happened to me yesterday. I had what I thought was the best idea for a popsicle for today but it completely failed and there’s no post for today now. July’s been so great so far o.O
Here’s to hoping we have fail free weeks lol
Oh girl, you’re definitely not alone! July has been feeling all sorts of off for me as well. At least it’s summer so we have more of an excuse to take some time off.
Thanks for sharing Amanda and I always enjoy reading the articles you’ve found. I’m interested in those cinnamon rolls. I think I’ll have to give them a shot!
