Happy Sunday! I've got 2 tasty and budget friendly weeknight meal recipes for you. Don't pass these up. Save them for your menu planning.

Did you get a chance to see the northern lights this past week? From what I understand, most of the country was able to. Weren't they amazing! Late Wednesday night we piled the dogs in the car and drove out of the city lights to get the best view. So much fun.

I have recipes for you, of course I do, but first a couple of things I used this week that I LOVE and thought you might want to hear about too.

1. I was at a cute little floral shop that has the CUTEST home stuffs. They had this adorable and mini cement pot with fancy matches, and I almost paid $25 on the spot for matches and a 2.5-inch pot. Take my money. Instead, I grabbed a cute little pot I already had and got these: Wooden Matches​
   ​
   Y'all, they are like proper wood and when you strike them (I put the striker on the bottom of my jar?) they are like PROPER. Anyways, try it. It feels very bougie to have them instead of my lighter thing.
   ​
2. I finally purchased frames for my artwork. I've had them sitting and waiting to go up on the wall for ages. But it's a whole thing, y'all. I had to rearrange the furniture so they would be highlighted. And then remove the old art. Which led to repairing the holes. Which led to repainting. And FINALLY the art was put up. Stay tuned....I'll grab a phone to show you next week. I have 6 pieces from Kelly Angelovic that I'm so excited to finally get up!

Instant Pot Spaghetti "Very good, super easy. Much less pots and pans and mess than on the stovetop. I have been wanting to try a spaghetti recipe in the Instant Pot. This recipe will be in our dinner rotation!" ~ Lisa Get the recipe

This is when I should give you a long list of all of the recipes you can make with your Thanksgiving recipes but why on earth wouldn't you just eat the leftovers? I mean, don't we make double what we should just for that very purpose :).

I LOVE having a 2nd Thanksgiving. Maybe a 3rd? But if I look around food blogs and magazines, I'm supposed to be using those leftovers for better purposes like soups and sandwiches and such.

Okay, that's all for this week...have a great week!
