A snapshot from 2010 of one of my favorite spots to walk Toby, my beagle (RIP), when we lived in Holland. The church on the far left was right near our apartment and this path wound it’s way along a canal, past grazing cows, and this windmill that ground flour, and even an old WW2 bunker. While the weather wasn’t always this lovely, we always enjoyed it and eventually got used to getting rained on. At first, Toby would try to run back inside, but you can’t be Dutch (even temporarily) if you don’t adjust to the rain, so after a few months he seemed to stop noticing. 💖 BBQ Chicken Sweet Potato. Really easy to make: Poach chicken breast, shred, coat in BBQ sauce. Bake a sweet potato. Add chicken to potato, top with green onions or chives and a dollop of sour cream. 😋 Saying goodbye to this fence tomorrow. This week kicks off the next phase of our outdoor renovations. We painted the house and replaced the porch posts and shutters last year. Now it's time for a new fence, gutters, and landscaping. Really excited to see the end result in a few weeks and then watch all of the plants grow in over the next few years. #TBT to this delicious vanilla cake I made last month. Wish I had a slice right now... #ThrowbackThursday Pretty sure these flowers are the first I've planted since my mom used to make me as a kid. 😂🤗😎 My porch has petunias and snapdragons now though, so it was worth it. 😘 We also planted some herbs and are working out a full landscape redo plan. 😬 I mentioned biscuits last night and next thing I know we'd planned Sunday breakfast with homemade biscuits. (They're so good! And second nature to make now, after Biscuit Weekend last week.) I shared some process pics and tips in my Insta Story today, if you're new to making your own biscuits and want to give it a try. (The recipe I used is "Southern Biscuits" from AltonBrown.com.) #TBT to exploring Ghent, a lovely small city in Belgium. 2015.
