But now we're on to Monday and I need another lineup of dinners (it never ends!!) Here's what I'm thinking: Smoked Cheddar Shrimp...

Hey friends❣️ One of the best perks of working from home? I can slip out to the patio whenever I need a little reset. It’s my happy place these days ~ I’ll mess around in the herb garden, yank a few weeds, or just sit and listen to the birds for a bit before heading back to the kitchen to wrangle the day’s recipe ⚔️ The patio is also the spot where I enjoy that all important end of the day snack!
