Get your pads and pens ready because it’s time for the Week In Review.
The Week In Review is a list, in its purest form, not of the things you still need to do, but of all the things you have done in the last seven days. It’s an achievement list, an ode to yourself, a celebration of sorts, and a virtual pat on the back.
Need more details? Head here. ♫ You can do it, put your list into it. ♫
Let’s get listing:
- I worked too many hours again, although I had a mini breakthrough on a project I’ve been tinkering with for months. It felt fantastic.
- I had dinner with a girlfriend and her family. It was sinfully delicious to let someone else cook for me. I loved every second of it, which is also why I failed to snap a single picture.
- I had breakfast with a long lost friend.
- I spent a good six hours on Saturday cleaning the house. Totally worth it.
- I cooked dinner on at least three occasions, which is a small triumph for me these days.
- I supervised the installation of a new TV.
- I had movie night with the Hubby, involving the Avengers and some popcorn cooked old school style on the stovetop.
- I went grocery shopping, at more than one location.
- I made Orange Cranberry Granola.
- I whipped up a batch of Apple Cheddar Multigrain Muffins.
- I snagged this scallywag from the bus station.
- Then I nabbed this lovely lady from the airport.
- In style, of course; with coffee and Kahlua, much needed after a lengthy flight delay.
- Then we did a lot of this: fireside chatting.
- Followed by a little of that: Deep Fried Mac and Cheese on a Grilled Cheese at Melt.
Your turn. I want to hear from you. Link up and get yo’ list on.
What are three things you accomplished in the last week?
Time with friends!! ENJOY so much!

Thanks. We had a fantastic time, and I’m always amazed how seamless it is to meet other bloggers. It’s as if you’ve known each other forever.

Old school stove top popcorn is the best!
Deep fried mac and cheese grilled cheese?!?! I didn’t know such a thing existed!

The sandwich was heaven sent. Mmmm, I can’t help but moan just thinking about it.
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
OMG. I want to faceplant into that sandwich.
Sara @ Oats & Rows recently posted…Friday Faves! 11/20
Yep, the sandwich was incredible. Happiness personified.
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
Happy Monday, Meghan! How nice you had some friend time over the past week. And I typically am the “supervisor” when construction or important things like that happen in my house as well. 🙂 Here’s to another great week!
Ashley @ A Lady Goes West recently posted…A lovely Florida weekend and my weekly workout report
Cheers. Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your friend, your family and the holiday!

Oh dear God that grilled cheese! I need it….
We’re getting a new TV this week too, but I’m waiting till Friday so I can hopefully get a really good deal. I just hope I don’t have to shove an old lady out of my way to get it.
Kelly @ Kelly Runs For Food recently posted…Date night and memories
This TV purchase has been out list of things to do since March, and it just so happened to be 40% off so we went for it. That and I refuse to brave the crowds on Friday. You are a better woman than me, unless of course you do knock down an old lady. 🙂 🙂
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
Looks like the perfect week! And you took my grilled cheese craving up a notch with the deep fried mac. That’s just insane, in a good way of course 🙂
Michele @ paleorunningmomma recently posted…Workout Recap and Weekend 11/16-11/22
That sandwich was insane. Certainly not an everyday affair, but absolutely worth it. Delicious too.
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
Nothing better than friends and food. I also enjoy supervising the building/installation of furniture and electronics. I like to say it’s because I was a coxswain, I’m better at giving the commands than doing the physical labor (or rowing).
Alyssa @ renaissancerunnergirl recently posted…Race to Deliver 4M and Finishing the 9 + 1
That’s a good analogy, and I definitely leave the electronics to the Hubby, although I do have a rather weird thing for furniture assembly. It’s like puzzles, they give me a little kick. 🙂
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
Awe, I’m so glad you got to hang out with friends last week. That sounds like the best list of accomplishments to me! I’ll get my list up in a couple hours. It’s alllllll ready to go. Boom.
Suzy recently posted…Mileage Monday
Your lists always make me smile. Reggae music indeed.
Shabba.
I’m sorry, I’m still at a loss for words by that mac and cheese grilled cheese sandwich. WHAT?! The world is a beautiful place.
Jessica recently posted…Getting Ready to Roll
I know. That’s exactly right. I feel better knowing that sandwich exists somewhere in the world, even more so now that it’s in my belly.
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
jimminy crickets, what a fun week! i hope it was gloriously cozy, delightful, and delicious. I’d love an apple cheddar muffin, that sounds like heaven. i think that may be on my list to bake in the near future 🙂 i just got some apple butter, and i had it with cheddar. so clearly the apple/cheddar combo is appealing right now. you are a goddess!!! xox
danielle saucy smith recently posted…Week in Review: Epic Food & Party Planning
The muffins are actually multigrain too and use corn meal too so they have a much more substantial texture. I adore them and I also went back and included the link so you can find the recipe when you’re ready.
Yes, the apple cheddar combo is so winning right now in my book.
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
How has it already been a month since I was there enjoying morning coffee and fireside chats?! Take me back! But I’m happy to hear that you’re enjoying some good times with good people and good food. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to work on those teleportation powers…
Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted…. flourless double chocolate orange cranberry muffins .
You are welcome back any time, day or night. In fact, the fire beckons and so do the puzzles.
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
How do I get in on this snagging friends thing? I’ll bring you balls! Ok? Snag me next
Consider yourself snagged. Come to me. You don’t even have to bring your balls although I certainly wouldn’t kick them out of bed either.
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
Time with friends is always wonderful BUT a night on the couch with your husband and the Avengers….that is pretty darn great in my book!
Torry @ A World Without Wheat recently posted…A Weekend Not as I Planned.
I think they’re equally as fantastic. Friends and family are what really matter.
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
I swear girl, every time I see that fireplace, I get green with envy! One day WILL have my own!
Sounds like you kicked last week in the balls! And still had time to be a regular social butterfly…introvert my ass! 😉 Awesome job on the dinners. I’m feeling about the same in my amazement for all the cooking I’ve been doing. Though my only excuse for not doing so is just that I’m a lazy bum. It’s weird how having Jason IN the house motivates me to cook more when before he moved in, we were pretty much together every night. Of course, now I know that all the ingredients are in ONE place instead of getting halfway through cooking and realizing something’s at the other house. So annoying!
I’ve been meaning to make granola for over a week now. As soon as I finish this cup of coffee, it’s hap-en-NING! 😀
Heather @ Kiss My Broccoli recently posted…My Week in HighBITES
I was a huge extrovert last week, which is also why I’m currently curled up on the couch enjoying my isolation. 🙂 I’d make room for you so come enjoy the fireplace with me. Bring the man too. 🙂
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
deep fried mac and cheese on a grilled cheese?!?! Jesus. I need that.
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles recently posted…Five Things Friday 11/20/15.
I think we all need a deep fried mac and cheese on a grilled cheese sandwich at least once in our life.
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
Sounds like a pretty good week to me! Fried mac & cheese on a grilled cheese? INSANITY!
Nicole @ Foodie Loves Fitness recently posted…Harley’s 5th Birthday & Tales of Puppyhood
That sandwich was insanity. Delicious insanity.
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
Love the pictures! You all look so smiley and happy! Enjoy the cozy fireside chats <3
I love grocery shopping that includes that much cheese… Give me a cheese board any day and I'd be happy.
Jen @ Chase the Red Grape recently posted…Friday Favourites! (20th Nov)
It was awesome because the store had these little taste cheese samples for $1 to $2. I grabbed a bunch of small wedges of different kinds of cheese so we could try a bunch.
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
Has the world come to popcorn on the stove being OLD SCHOOL!? I don’t own a microwave, so this is the only way to have popcorn in my book. THE best. Oh my, that grilled cheese!!!!
Brittany recently posted…Early Morning Confessions
The actual directions on the popcorn kernel bag said pop according to your air popper’s instructions!!
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
I remember a while back the week in review was gone and now it’s back!
Also, did you take a hiatus from blogging and then come back? I couldn’t remember if it was you or another blogger…
And one more thing–those look like EXOTIC cheeses. You must’ve gotten them at a speciality cheese store!
Linda @ The Fitty recently posted…Best Supplement Ever for Energy, Sleep, Weight loss, + Mood?!
Nope, I’ve been here and blogging although I am taking the rest of this week off to enjoy the holidays.
Hope to see you at the WIR soon.
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
LOL, I love the snapchat of you supervising haha! You deserve that flat screen! Awesome post up!
I think I deserve that flat screen too. It’s been on the list for 6 months now. 🙂
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
ARMAN! HEART EYES FOR THAT MUFFIN OF STUDDLINESS! 😉
And um, can you come over… So we can turn the jams on and clean my house together? LOL!!

Tell me Arman where’s that fuzzy hat in LA too?!
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
You got the deep fried mac & cheese grilled cheese?! How was it? Details, please. That masterpiece has been on my mind since we went last year. 🙂
It was amazing, of course. I expected no less though. They also have a veggie burger on the menu now, and I want to try that one too. Guess you’ll just have to come back.
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
Wow, that deep fried grilled mac n’ cheese looks really good… Did you like it?
Emiyl recently posted…Why I’m Really Excited about Holiday Eating
Liked it? I loved it. That sandwich was insane in a great way. I figure we could all use a bit of insanity from time to time; it builds character.
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
Mother eff, that sandwich is what dreams are made of! I cooked Thanksgiving dinner for 31 people and finished almost all of my Christmas shopping yesterday. That’s a win for the entire year 😉
Jen@Jpabstfitness recently posted…Thanksgiving {2015}
A win for the year most definitely. Hell, I’d say you deserve a medal.
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
The Danes have a word that personifies you and your house. Hyggli, which is pronounced . . . well they make fun of me trying to say it so I won’t bother. Means cozy, and you’ve got a cozy place there–glad you can share it with friends.
Kirsten recently posted…Deep Dish Easter Leftovers Pizza
I happen to think you have a cozy place too. I love all the wood work and the beautiful books. Also, you’re welcome here anytime.
Meghan recently posted…Week In Review: #6
I think I’ve said it a million times before but it doesn’t hurt to say it again: I had such a good time and I am beyond glad I came to see you and the scallywag and also get to know your hubby and Oscar. Say hi!
I guess my biggest accomplishment last week was not to fall asleep in front of that cozy fire 😉 And I love that you liked the cookies!
Juli@1000lovelythings recently posted…Spicy Beef Burger Patty
You are most welcome anytime.
Also, the granola was fantastic too. I polished off an entire bag this morning.
It was amazing to spend some quality time with you, but let’s thank Allah for the hubs success AND the new TV! 🙂
Arman @ thebigmansworld recently posted…Healthy Flourless White Chocolate Cranberry Muffins (Vegan, Gluten Free)
Talk about a good day. Thank Allah indeed.
I love this! Your eats look amazing and I’m OBSESSED with Cafe Verona!! The best Starbucks coffee!! I love it! 🙂
Cailee recently posted…Hello Healthy Pancakes!
With good reason, that coffee is fantastic!
