Monday Morning Coffee And Recipes!






Good Morning! Happy Monday! We are waking up at the condo and will be going to sleep at home. I am so thankful we chose to live near the ocean, and that we have but a short ride over the bridge to get there. We had a quiet weekend, my favorite. I swam in the mornings, then read, and napped in the afternoon. We went to Mass Saturday night and had dinner with Madison and Nicolas. Sunday, I made dinner, and we settled in for football and a cozy time. Today, I am going to take one more swim before we head home for homeschool and Steeler Football. 

Saturday, we tried a new Mediterranean restaurant. It was amazing. The atmosphere was so neat, and the food? Delicious.






The food was Turkish and Moroccan-inspired, and it was delicious.

The weather last week was unbelievable for January. I even took a walk on Friday. I don't know who was more excited, me or Mocha!



And then I was happy to settle in for coffee and a delicious cranberry orange scone made by my Madison.


I had a few requests for the meals I posted last Friday. Here they are!



( I used boneless/skinless thighs )



Have a nice day, my friends. Thanks for stopping!

  2. What a wonderful weekend. Time at the beach and time with family is the best.
    We're having stuffed peppers tonight because of your post on it last week. :)

  4. For a few seconds, I got stuck at the picture of the cream brulee. My favorite!!! It is nice for you all just to drive over the bridge to the ocean and by doing so, we get to enjoy the beautiful stories and scenes. Billie Jo, it looks like a nice weekend with some good meals. Football was on all day at our house on Sunday. I do like Josh Allen with the Buffalo Bills... Of course, my team "Kansas City Chiefs" sadly will not be playing..tear and another tear. Enjoy the week....

  12. Your weekend sounds just about perfect. Relaxation, swimming, family time and a delicious looking restaurant. The scone is the "icing on the cake". Madison can bake for me anytime! I hope all is going well with the homeschooling this afternoon. I miss those days and having my kids all close.
    Blessings and hugs,
    Betsy
