Friday Faves #2

I’m going to start off my second edition of “Friday Faves” with a question. My husband has a short amount of time to eat lunch and likes to use that time to do paperwork so he doesn’t have as much to bring home; However, he has decided it’s too much work to heat food up or use a utensil to eat with so pretty much all he’ll eat for lunch is a PBJ or nuts, chips, snacks, etc. Not so healthy and PBJs can get dull after a while. What’s quick to make, or easy to meal prep, that fits his picky lunch needs? It’ll quickly become a fave if I can get some new options.

Without further ado, here are my Friday Faves:

The Fitness Marshall I have to start out with this video because if you haven’t seen it yet, you need to! I’ve watched this a number of times because it’s so hilarious and entertaining. I’d definitely try it out.

 

I’m sort of obsessed with planning especially when it comes to Disney World. We went for our honeymoon in 2014 and it was an amazing trip and I’m not sure anything will ever fully compare to how special that vacation was for us. Part of what made it awesome was that we were prepared. We were there in the middle of summer so it was hot and crowded. I was also in a wheelchair for most of our touring but that’s a different story. The point is that it was busy but we never really waited more than 10-15 minutes for a ride because of all the prepping we’d (read: I’d) done. The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World was the key. The book in conjunction with their online customize-able touring plans made all the difference between a hectic stressful trip and an awesome one.

We’re planning a trip for later this year possibly in company with day at Universal! 😮 This book is pretty comprehensive and I would recommend anyone going to WDW to take a peek. I rented mine from the library so it was free to read.

I love renting from the library and lately one of my favorite things has been renting National Geographic DVDs. So far we’ve been watching nature/national park ones but I’ve got a Da Vinci one that I’m excited to watch as well.

 

I love game nights. I love playing games. Ever since I was a kid I’ve enjoyed playing games and over the last few years I’ve been really working on expanding my collection. Two of my favorite games are a couple of the most popular (new) board games from the last few years. Settler’s of Catan and Ticket to Ride  are strategy games and have complicated rules but once you understand them, it’s easy to play and so. much. fun. The last few weekend have filled our home with a lot of laughter and memories while playing these games with friends.

The Horse and His Boy is my favorite book from the Narnia series by C. S. Lewis. I read it this week in between classes while I was subbing and I remembered just how much I love this story. I wish they’d made this into a movie when they were doing them all a few years ago.

Recipes:

I’ve found a few recipes that I’m really excited to try over this next week. I’ve already tried the golden milk latte and I think with a little tweaking to my taste preferences, this is going to be a favorite. Be warned that you will probably have a really yellow tongue and yellow teeth after drinking.

Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli, by Cook Your Dream <– this one is inspired by our dinner we had a couple weeks ago where Brady and I had some friends over and made pasta from scratch for the first time.
