Five on Friday {February 25, 2022}

Hello Friday! I am enjoying a day off from work since we got hit with another snow storm.  The kids had the week off for winter recess and we spent this past weekend up in Rochester exploring the city.  A big blog post and lots of Instagram posts will be coming soon! Here are five from this week:

1. Eating- we had so much tasty food up in Rochester. This vegetarian crepe from Simply Crepes was so good! 

As were these empanadas from Juan and Maria’s at the Rochester Public Market.  But seriously, everything we ate on our trip was delicious!

2. Reading – I haven’t had much reading time but did manage to finish one book this week. I read My Darling Husband by Kimberly Belle. I need to take a break from mystery/suspense books. I’ve been reading a lot of them and just haven’t been wowed.

3. Cooking – This week one of our favorite dinners was this Spicy Pesto Pasta Alla Vodka. This was really easy to prepare and was very good! Half Baked Harvest recipes don’t disappoint!

4. Watching – My husband and I started watching Reacher on Amazon since we need a new show to watch together. I’ve never read the books but I hear the show follows them fairly well. I just wasn’t into the show so now my husband is watching it on his own.

I finished Cheer on Netflix. It’s a show that I don’t have to put all my attention on, so I’ll write while watching. I’m also caught up on Abbott Elementary on Hulu. This is a fun comedy!

5. Vegan Dinner – Last night my husband and I went to The Bit for a special 4-course vegan dinner.  Although we are no longer following a strict vegan diet (I’m now pescatarian and my husband and daughter are vegetarians) it’s so nice to see more restaurants offering vegan options.
