My Everyday Life: Week 20

Here’s what this past week looked like- My Everyday Life- Week 20:

Happy Mother’s Day to my Mom! I made this for her:

We had my parents over for dinner on Mother’s Day. I made a Greek feast and we got a chance to dine outside because the weather was perfect.

And a little dessert to go with it.

Working on my Bullet Journal/writing down my intentions for the week.

I love these plants. Especially when it’s breezy. They’re so prety and fuzzy.

This week I went to Camp Covert at Covert Estate in Coombsville, Napa with a few other bloggers.

The day included harvesting vegetables, tasting wine, cooking together outdoors and feasting!

What a way to spend a Tuesday!!

That’s me with some lettuce I picked.

We got to take home some bay leaves.

The chive blossoms were so pretty.

For all my blogger friends who are into Pinterest, if looking for a good way to schedule pins, I highly recommend Tailwind. They’re having a really good promotional deal this month if you refer your friends. That means you can set up your own tribe and essentially pay for your membership. If you’re not a person who schedules pins, then ignore!

Chicken Teriyaki

Teriyaki is a word that my brain never wants to spell right. My brain also has a hard time spelling Marilyn. There’s something about the y and the i that throws my brain off. Brains are weird.

Now that I have spelled teriyaki correctly (thanks, spellcheck!) I can tell you more about my new favorite Chicken Teriyaki recipe. Cooper loved it. Casey didn’t complain. It didn’t really take that much time and I was able to turn leftovers into fried rice so I feel like we might have something new to add to our meal rotation.

This tastes like the kind of teriyaki chicken you’d get in a Japanese restaurant. The glaze is pretty tasty and the overnight marinade really makes the chicken flavorful. You might have some extra sauce with this recipe, but that’s great because it’s amazing on the leftovers! I’m curious how it would taste on salmon….
