Happy Thursday Lovely Friends!

What's cooking around your way today..?

Hope something fun and amazing. I am a bit obsessed with "The Pioneer Woman"

 I mean, who isn't..? I caught a clip of her the other day on TV and just thought to
myself, will she take me in, on her lovely farm and we can all make merry..?!?
LOL! She's simply wonderful. I got this recipe off her site and really
LOVED it. I LOVE beef stir fry and can eat it everyday!

This one is REALLY simply heavenly!

Join Me ~ Peppery Beef Stir Fry

I love everything about this recipe as I'm a huge "Spice girl". I'm sure you can take
out the extra pepper's to mild up the flavor to suit your taste buds. Very worth trying!

I can't believe August is here already! Temperatures are still scorching and 

the Olympics are in full swing. It's really the perfect time to throw a party 

or have some great family time. Or start planning back to school! 

My kids head back in less than three weeks. Not that I'm counting.

Just Us Four shared a recipe that includes 

one of my favorite foods of all time... Nutella! 

Chocolate Nutella Banana Pizza

And after you finish that yummy dessert, cool off with this 

Cherry Limeade from The Seven Year Cottage.

Second Chance to Dream brings us some ideas for

back to school lunches that don't involve sandwiches.

The Concrete Cottage gave her screen door a makeover! 

It's pretty amazing since screen doors are usually pretty darn boring.
