Pardon me while I give a few shouts, and jump for joy – Mark gets home in less than 24 hours – and this time for good! It’s been a long 6 weeks of solo-parenting, making a little too kid friendly meals, and just letting things go that wouldn’t normally. He’s been trained for his new job, and will start that officially Monday, giving us 2 full days to reconnect as a family. YAHOO! We’re ordering sushi tomorrow night, saturday will be an adventure day, and Sunday we get to spend with Mark’s brothers family celebrating the new LDS Indianapolis temple and his nephew’s birthday.

For this week’s features my eyes roamed to those specifically that made me think of Mark. Recipes I could see him truly indulging in with me. So enjoy! And pardon if you don’t see me around social media too much this weekend…or if the opposite happens and I bombard you with photos of the whole family.

FEATURES

REESE’S Peanut Butter Cup Truffles

from Mama Mommy Mom

I saw REESE’S and knew this would be featured first. As Mark’s favorite candy, and one I love too, I couldn’t resist.

Dauntless Chocolate Cake

from Living Better Together

Anytime I see layered chocolate cake it reminds me of Mark. There was this one restaurant in Logan, UT that we loved having date night at, and we almost always split one of their decadent chocolate cakes.

Chocolate Donut S’mores

from The Gold Lining Girl

Admittedly, this is probably not one Mark would be all over like the above too…but it’s chocolate, and donuts, and a S’more…and we do own a firepit now!

Welcome back to school! At least here it was back to school week. All 3 Princesses are gone during the day, leaving Little Prince and I with a ton of time on our hands. Mostly we’ve been playing RescueBots, because Transformers are most definitely still cool. We’ve also spent a little time in the kitchen, making Panlevi, and thinking up other fun treats to surprise the girls with. I hope you enjoy these features from last week’s part. I’d say they’re perfect for the busy back to school season.

What?! School starts in a mere 2 1/2 weeks here. I can’t wait for the kids to get back and start making new friends. Mark is also gone for training for his new job for a couple more weeks, so having 3 kids in school I think will really help me out. We’ll get back into a good routine, and everyone will be happier to spend time together.

To end the summer though, I think we need a grilling party! So this week I’ve rounded up some grill goodness for you. Enjoy! And if you are featured, don’t forget to grab your button at the bottom!

I am currently having the TIME of My LIFE in South Carolina hanging out with family. Almost all my siblings are here, plus aunts and uncles I haven’t seen for awhile. To top it off I’ve never been to SC before, so I am exploring and enjoying this fun state. I hope you all have had a fantastic week as well, with fun plans for the weekend.

I’m so sorry I don’t have features for you this week. I’ve had time to browse over your links, but with our move to Indiana this week, I just could not keep up! The joys of moving, are numerous…er, perhaps the stresses. I try to find the joys instead though. We currently have no hot water, the gas will be turned on Monday. I took a brisk shower this morning as it was definitely a need before heading out to the public. Internet at the house won’t be turned on until next Friday! I try not to live my life completely online, but I do use it for a good portion – like this blog (which happens to be a significant income), as well as my schoolwork. I was taking this week off already, but I must get back into school next week.

Such is life though. We have an amazing backyard, and front yard. The school is a 2 minute walk down the road, and I’m close to just about everything I could possibly ever need for shopping yet with a country feel to the neighborhood. Today’s highlight was this find at a yard sale for $25. I think we finally have a table I will consider moving with us (of course I don’t plan on moving again anytime soon).

Alright, enough of my rambling! Let’s see what you’ve been cooking up this week! Share with us.

When it comes to moving, the least favorite part (and really I don’t enjoy most of it, lol), is cleaning out the fridge. Currently I’ve got a half gallon of milk, some sour cream, lots of eggs, and condiments. Oh so many condiments! I’ve been racking my brain what to do with these things, and I just don’t know. On top of that, we still have 3 days in this house, and I don’t know what we’re gonna eat, because I refuse to shop right now – you would too.

Today my diet has consisted mostly of oatmeal butterscotch chocolate cookies, bread with jam, and some cereal. Tonight, we might toss some pasta together…or go out. So while going through your recipes from last week, I found myself seriously salivating and wishing I could just go cook something up. Ah, there will be so many good meals once we get to our new home in Indiana – until then I’ll do a little foodgawking, and YUM your recipes!

Last Sunday I woke up, and thought “Shoot! It’s Fathers Day and I forgot to get something!” Lucky for me, I was a week early, giving me plenty of time to procrastinate some more on this Fathers Day thing. Err, I mean totally check out your recipes to find the PERFECT meal to show Mark how much we love him. The kids have made some surprises for him, and I’ve told him he can start looking at a new car for him.

This weeks features are all recipes I know Mark would love to see grace our table. His love of Pork, Udon Noodles, and a serious sweet tooth, I know these would make for an extra special Fathers Day fare in our home.

FEATURES

Pork Tenderloin with Zucchini & Red Peppers

from Penney Lane

Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Roast

Asian Inspired Udon Noodle Dinner
