Hey hey and happy Friday.
Welcome to Father’s Day weekend. For me, my sister, and my mom it will be a bittersweet celebration because it will be the first without DW, my big daddio. Nonetheless, we will be honoring and remembering him as we have every year. I plan on cooking his favorite garlic burgers with a side of crispy Lays potato chips, and potato salad, because that was his jam. I’ll also be joining my baby girl Smudge in celebrating her daddy/my husband with a round of golf (as long as the rain stays at bay) and whatever else the two of them want to do. Here’s to the boys!
But before we get cooking, let’s dig into this week’s list of Friday Faves. Let’s go.
