Easy Weeknight dinners

I’ve been a little discombobulated and not feeling the whole cooking thing ever since we got the news about Sawyer. I’m honestly just trying my best to stay focused at work, because I have an incredibly busy next two weeks. By the time I wrap up my work day, the last thing I really feel like doing is cooking.

Bachelor Recap

The Bachelor Finale

Warning: Bachelor Finale spoilers are ahead, so consider this your fair warning if you haven’t watched yet. I would say this finale was one for the books – and not in a good way.
