Favorite Things January 7, 2022

one of my favorite things are houseplants in terra cotta pots

This a collection of things I'm loving right now. I've included recipes that are perfect for this season and some of my favorite things. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and scroll through all the stuff I've enjoyed this week.

I can't believe we are a week into 2022! I have lots of organization supplies for you this week. I love to organize my pantry, cupboards and closet during the winter months when it's raining and I don't really want to be outside.

This week I also have lots of lovely kitchen and dining from Better Homes and Garden. I already own a few of these and as I was looking put a couple more on my list to purchase. Their stuff is inexpensive, but in my experience holds up well.

Stuff I Love

What I'm Watching - I finished season two of Emily in Paris on Netflix this week. I love all of the shots of Paris and the crazy fashion.

What I'm Listening To - It's on my list this week to listen to the Goop Podcast episode with Stanley Tucci. I'm a big fan of Stanley Tucci and can't wait to listen to this conversation.

What I'm Reading - I'm 60% through Love at First Spite by Anna E. Collins. It's a likable romance novel with fun story. I like the main characters and it's set in Washington.

What I'm Loving - For cozy loungewear I really like the men's henley t-shirts at Target. They are warm and I can push the sleeves up. I pair them with joggers and my sneakers.

My Favorite Things From Around The Web

These red and white satin pajamas remind me a little of the Emily in Paris wardrobe. They look really comfy to lounge around in on a Sunday!

Speaking of comfy clothes for winter I love a button front cardigan to wear over pajamas, jeans or a dress. They are so versatile and go from winter to spring well.

Target has their cloth lunch totes back in stock this season. They sold out before I could get one last year! It would be perfect to pack a picnic lunch to take with.

Target is already getting some of their spring lines in. I love this gingham mug, these gingham kitchen scrubbers, the basketweave striped kitchen towels and this big stoneware scalloped bowl.

I was looking back at some of the most popular kitchen items in 2021 and these are my must haves: OXO Small Cookie Scoop, Lodge Cast Iron Skillet, Instant Vortex Air Fryer and Cuisinart Stainless Steel Measuring Cups

I need some baskets for my pantry for snacks and other smaller items. I like these braided rectangle baskets from Target.

I like to save our coffee grounds to put in the garden to add some acidity to the soil. I really like this new coffee grounds bowl with a cork lid!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to use ground beef in this recipe?

No, you could easily make this recipe without meat and it would still be delicious. If you wanted to use this recipe as a side dish you could omit the ground beef. You could also use ground turkey or chicken if that's what you have.

How do I clean my instant pot after cooking savory dishes?

After using your instant pot for savory dishes or in this case using spices you may notice that the silicone ring in the lid has an odor. This is simple to take care of!

Wash the metal pot insert by hand or in the dishwasher. Remove the rubber seal from the lid and wash both the lid (do not submerge the lid in water) and the ring. Place the ring back into the lid.

Put the metal pot into the pressure cooker. Add one cup water and one cup white vinegar to the metal pot. Place the lid on the pot and seal. Manually cook for 3 minutes. Let the steam release naturally.

After the liquid has cooled, dump it out and rinse the pot, lid and seal. Your pot, lid and seal shouldn't have any lingering odors.
