The Little Issues Publication #465 – Life, laughter, and plenty of nice meals!

Welcome to the weekend, my mates! For those who dwell in Ohio, I hope you spent each potential second open air yesterday. What a GLORIOUS preview of summer time we had! After every week of loopy wind, sleet, rain, and altogether too-chilly-for-April climate, it was a tremendous 84 levels with sunshine. I soaked up as a lot sunshine as potential figuring out that we nonetheless have a few months to go earlier than it is a day by 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.

This can be 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. Whilst you do should plan just a few hours forward, it’s straightforward to make and properly definitely worth the small quantity of prep that you must do prematurely. (You’ll need 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 fantastic. Very like 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 a little bit bit tangy, a little bit bit candy, fairly to take a look at, and filled with taste!

Air fryer shrimp makes even quicker work of already fast cooking shrimp to get a crowd-pleasing dish on the desk in document time. This has change into a fast lunch favourite for me of late too. Whether or not you’re utilizing your cooked shrimp as the primary occasion, serving it with cocktail sauce, in a salad, or utilizing it as a part in one other dish, you’ll love this straightforward cooking methodology.

Shaved Brussels sprouts salad with warm bacon dressing is the best facet 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 straightforward 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!

What I’m CRAVING: I have to have these Baja Shrimp Tacos in entrance of me asap. They give the impression of being unbelievable and clearly I’m alllll in regards to the seafood this week. 

My FAVORITE THING this week is my new-ish journaling Bible. I’ve been utilizing it for a number of months now and I like love find it irresistible. I initially purchased simply the New Testament journaling Bible (this is available in a set of 5 spiral sure 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 suggest them extremely sufficient. Youngsters and adults love them, and I’m so blissful to have discovered these movies. Every one 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 alternative sounds, largely folk-rock with a mixture of ballads, Christian rock, and up to date worship music within the combine too. I’m nonetheless very a lot having fun with it.

“And I provides you with a brand new coronary heart, and a brand new spirit I’ll put inside you. And I’ll take away the guts 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

Wishing you a stunning week filled with little issues that make you smile!
