After every week of loopy wind, sleet, rain, and altogether too-chilly-for-April climate, it was an incredible 84 levels with sunshine. I soaked up as a lot sunshine as attainable realizing 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 eventually.

Citrusy, savory, and fabulously gingery, garlicky Marinated Asian Salmon makes probably the most flavorful salmon you’ll ever have.

(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 similar to 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 just a little bit tangy, just a little bit candy, fairly to take a look at, and stuffed with taste!

Air fryer shrimp makes even quicker work of already fast cooking shrimp to get a crowd-pleasing dish on the desk in file 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 best aspect dish to serve with roast pork, beef, or hen. Tangy, heat bacon dressing is poured over shaved Brussels sprouts, inexperienced onions, pecans, and dried cherries on this simple however subtle tasting recipe.

Candy and creamy with a delicate tang, buttermilk ice cream tastes like a extra subtle, indulgent model of frozen yogurt. It might 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 research occasions 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 by means of these movies and I can’t advocate them extremely sufficient. Youngsters and adults love them, and I’m so pleased to have discovered these movies. Each is only a few minutes lengthy, making them good for little breaks by means of the day.

What I’m LISTENING to: The Good King by Ghost Ship. This album is a mixture of so many various sounds, principally 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 offers you a brand new coronary heart, and a brand new spirit I’ll put inside you. And I’ll take away the center of stone out of your flesh and provide you with 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
