Good morning. I am linking up with Hello Monday and Share Our Lives today.
I worked Friday morning for a few hours then spent some time at home organizing a few things for a yard sale. However, the highlight of my Friday was finding out I won an Amazon gift card! Y'all know all the giveaways on instagram? I finally won one! This wasn't a huge amount, but enough to get something extra, so I was excited. Lawd knows, I have been finding a lot on Amazon lately.
Saturday morning, I was up early to participate in a neighborhood yard sale. My parents and sister donated a lot and some things sold, but still had a lot of things left. I think this was the end of me and hosting a yard sale. Most of what I sold was just little stuff, so it wasn't a big money maker. However, I was able to sit outside for the morning with my husband (and it wasn't hot!) & got rid of some things. I was completely exhausted afterwards. I had originally thought I would do a few things around the house that afternoon/evening, but all I managed to do was to get this pecanberry salad from Mc Alisters and then went to bed early.
Sunday, I kept the nursery at church then came home to prep for the gummy bear party I am hosting for some of the sweetest little girls today. I was still pretty exhausted from Saturday honestly.
Now on to share foods to make for someone else....
Currently, the number one food I make to give to someone else is sourdough bread!
Typically if taking food to someone, I like to take a breakfast food, like muffins and fruit.
For a meal, I would probably prepare a sheet pan meal with grilled chicken and vegetables that is easy to prepare, healthy and hopefully something most people would eat. Here are 3 good recipes...
Have a great day! I'll be over here feasting on gummy bears :)
I'm glad you had a good weekend, even if Friday night was exhausting. Yard sales are that for me, too, which is why I never have them. I'd prefer to pass things along to someone little bits and pieces at a time! 🤣 I am so excited about learning to make this bread Friday night! Your loaf is gone already; my son finished off the last piece last night. It's a great gift to take someone!
ReplyDeleteYes, looking forward to making more bread!
DeleteAww the gummy bear party sounds adorable- hope you will share the details!!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun & I will share some details this week!
DeleteI've reached a point where I feel like a yard sale is more work than it's worth. These days I typically just donate to a local organization I know will use it in some way or they'll resell in their shop. Your sourdough looks good! A neighbor gave me some of her starter a few years ago, but it was right before my daughter's wedding and I didn't tend to it the way you need to, so I let it go. She says I can have more whenever I'm ready.
ReplyDeleteYes, most of my yard sale prep work was just getting everything out of the house. I wouldn't have done this one, except it was a neighborhood event. The sourdough starter is definitely a commitment!
DeleteCongrats on the Amazon giveaway! That is exciting and fun. Sorry the yard sale didn´t go so great but at least you got rid of some things. Your sheet pan dinners all look good; I will save for later as Alyssa tends to not like sheet pan meals. As ever, your sourdough bread looks so tasty. Have a great Monday!
ReplyDeleteIt felt good to at least clean out some unwanted things from the house. I'm excited for the extra Amazon money!
DeleteI wish I could get my kids interested in those sheet pan meals but the last few I made they just didn't like.
ReplyDeleteThey are an easy way to prepare a meal, but my kids have been picky eaters too.
DeleteThat salad looks amazing! I remember the last yard sale I participated in.. it took me several weeks to prep and hours to set up and I barely made $300 and I decided never again. We used to just donate it all to the church who would even come pick it up and host their own giant yard sale.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is a great way to get rid of stuff. I think sometimes I wonder where is the best place to donate stuff. I need to remember this to keep me from buying random things!
DeleteI love sheet pan meals, my kids not so much.
ReplyDeleteWell done on your win! I have never won anything off Instagram and I used to enter a lot of competitions.
ReplyDeleteThe yard sale sounds like fun and at least you got rid of some things.
Your bread looks amazing and I love the look of that pineapple chicken!
Yes, I was just thankful to get rid of some things in my house! The pineapple chicken is a great recipe I saw on The Today Show a few years ago.
DeleteWe haven't had a yard sale in a long time because they don't allow them in the neighborhood. It is definitely a lot of work, and people just want to bargain you down to nothing! Hope you're having a good week!
ReplyDeleteI want to make sourdough bread...but don't know how to begin. I guess I need to look at Pinterest. Thanks for linking up with us.
