shake your booty friday and a recipe
It's FINALLY the weekend. Hallelujah! It's a bit soggy here in the Mad City, but we're moving in the right direction as the snow has melted and I see a few tulips and crocuses popping up through the ground. Here's a great song to start the weekend. Pour a glass of wine (a cote du Rhone, if you're me) or crack open a beer (preferably an IPA, if you're Mr. Klein) with this one. Cheers!
p.s. Speaking of Mr. Klein ... he's been making a batch of this amazing granola every week - he uses coconut oil, pistachios and dried cherries for his variation. It's delicious with milk or out of hand as a snack.
p.p.s Here's what we're eating this weekend:
Friday: shrimp and pea panang curry with jasmine rice
Saturday: Baked cod and chorizo with potatoes
Sunday: Turkey koftë with hummus, lemony Greek yogurt, persian cucumbers, whole-grain pita
p.p.p.s I've been trying to clock more miles during my runs as I want to do a half marathon with my sister, Holley, again in August ... here's a recipe for my favorite pre- or post-run smoothie.
