Welcome to the weekend, my mates! Should you stay in Ohio, I hope you spent each doable second open air yesterday. What a GLORIOUS preview of summer season we had! After per week of loopy wind, sleet, rain, and altogether too-chilly-for-April climate, it was a tremendous 84 levels with sunshine. I soaked up as a lot sunshine as doable figuring out that we nonetheless have a few months to go earlier than it is a each day factor once more. 

ON THE BLOGS THIS WEEK: With flavorful salmon nestled on a mattress of child greens, contemporary herbs, glass noodles, avocado, crunchy cabbage and carrots, pickled broccoli and a to-die-for chili lime dressing, this Asian Salmon Salad is a showstopper.

It is a salad to get very excited for – simply ask my family and friends. I’ve been shouting about it for months, and I’m thrilled to be sharing it with you ultimately.

Citrusy, savory, and fabulously gingery, garlicky Marinated Asian Salmon makes probably the most flavorful salmon you’ll ever have. When you do must plan a couple of hours forward, it’s simple to make and effectively well worth the small quantity of prep you might want to do upfront. (You’ll wish to prep it now to make that awesome salad!)

Filled with toasted sesame taste, tangy, and crisp-tender, sweet and savory pickled broccoli is unexpectedly great. Very like bread and butter pickles in style, these brined, thinly sliced broccoli stems are nice on salads (see above!), sandwiches, and cheese boards.

Brimming with juicy pineapple and colourful bell peppers, this pineapple chicken stir fry is a little bit bit tangy, a little bit bit candy, fairly to take a look at, and filled with taste!

Air fryer shrimp makes even sooner work of already fast cooking shrimp to get a crowd-pleasing dish on the desk in report time. This has grow to be a fast lunch favourite for me of late too.

Shaved Brussels sprouts salad with warm bacon dressing is the perfect facet dish to serve with roast pork, beef, or rooster. Tangy, heat bacon dressing is poured over shaved Brussels sprouts, inexperienced onions, pecans, and dried cherries on this simple however refined tasting recipe.

Candy and creamy with a mild tang, buttermilk ice cream tastes like a extra refined, indulgent model of frozen yogurt. It could sound odd, however boy is it a delight!

My FAVORITE THING this week is my new-ish journaling Bible. I’ve been utilizing it for a number of months now and I really like love like it. I initially purchased simply the New Testament journaling Bible (this is available in a set of 5 spiral certain journals) to see how I appreciated it. I wound up ordering the remainder of the set inside a month. I’ve by no means loved my Bible examine instances extra and I discover myself taking extra notes with a deeper understanding of the scriptures the extra I take advantage of it.

What I’m WATCHING: These Bible Project videos that tell the story of Jesus life, death, and resurrection as portrayed within the Gospel of Luke. I’ve realized a lot via these movies and I can’t advocate them extremely sufficient. Children and adults love them, and I’m so completely satisfied to have discovered these movies. Each is just some minutes lengthy, making them excellent for little breaks via the day.

What I’m LISTENING to: The Good King by Ghost Ship. This album is a mixture of so many alternative sounds, largely folk-rock with a mixture of ballads, Christian rock, and modern worship music within the combine too. I’m nonetheless very a lot having fun with it.

“And I gives you a brand new coronary heart, and a brand new spirit I’ll put inside you. And I’ll take away the guts of stone out of your flesh and offer you a coronary heart of flesh. And I’ll put my Spirit inside you, and trigger you to stroll in my statutes and watch out to obey my guidelines.” Ezekiel 36:26-27 ESV
