Hello! It’s this week’s Friday Faves!
It’s Memorial Day weekend, aka grilling season, and I am officially on board. But lest we forget, it’s a weekend of remembering and honoring those we’ve loved and lost, and those who’ve given the ultimate sacrifice for our nation so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have today. In addition to observing the true meaning of the holiday, my husb and I have a weekend of cabin-ing, golfing, and eating some good grub with friends and family. My favorite classic potato salad and my man’s fave macaroni salad will be making their standard appearances. However, while we don’t have an official protein dish for the holiday, it will for sure be something on the grill, and if I have my way, these stacked burgers will be what I’m eating. There’s just too much goodness to choose from!
The world needs more of this: This traveling “Grandma Stand” that lets you talk to senior women who will listen, hug, and offer advice. Yes, ladies!
I heard an interview with Zach Galifianakis (from The Hangover, aka one of the funniest shows ever), and did you know he has a gardening show? Like, he’s totally into gardening!
My friend Kathleen says this show is totally worth bingeing on the 7-day trial, because do I really need another subscription service?
Let’s declutter our kitchens, together!
