christinis with whipped feta and honey because I want to use some sourdough for that um for my salad I'm going to do the Carol King salad like fall Edition I'm writing down my recipes my recipe Journal so I'll have them all together um this particular salad it's that pear salad a lot of you guys have made it and I love that one that's a spring edition you guys haven't made that salad like I've never made something that people love more ever and it's a salad it's actually crazy I will link the recipe below cuz I have an Instagram where on like a Tik Tok and stuff of it it's so good but because it's the Carol King salad it's because it's like different seasons and I'm going to try the fall one tomorrow it's fennel and carrots so and then roasted salted almonds BR cheese it actually does sound really good I just am so attached to the spring salad it's the best thing ever like I crave it all the time oh my God sometimes add chicken oh so good and then for my M I'm going to do pumpkin pasta with brown butter and Sage so it's actually going to be like a really easy cooking day tomorrow like we really only need two lighter things in the oven a salad and then pasta on the stove which is so easy I wrote out like the Tik toks and I'm going to make as well I started setting the table and I'm feeling pretty good about it I this looks disgusting I used to make this all the time it's I wish show my other recipe Journal it's basically like healthy beef stew with like purple sweet potatoes and all this stuff and it looks awful like it looks like mush but it is so good there's some carrots in here I made it last night for the week when I got home um the books that I have been using this one is one of my favorite cookbooks ever on my shop my I'll make an entire category of my favorite cookbooks and the ones that I use the most this one is just my go-to what's nice about it if you guys are hosting dinner parties in my dinner party video like how to step by step I talk about this one they have menus you can decide like your theme and then it has actual menus and all the recipes are in this book so anyways I love this one I was also looking at this one I got this more recently from anthropology last minut at dinner party I really like it I'm not doing anything from this recipe from this cookbook this time but I'm sure I will I'm going to get back to work I feel good about tomorrow the table is almost fully set and then I will just need to do my grocery shopping tomorrow and then also go to Trader Joe's to get some florals I always get my flowers from Trader Joe's They're my favorite they last the longest and they are the cheapest I'll be getting back to work and I will be talking to you guys later here's my cute little snack this cinnamon swirl pumpkin sugar sourd it's so good this is resting for the next hour planning the feed editing a bunch of [Music] stuff okay time to get dressed for tonight every time I have to live my house I'm anxious but it's a rare Beauty and it's mental health and I want to go so we are going my next couple of weeks are just really really crazy and with a lot of people I'm like out of my home and like I feel safe here so I just is getting a little bit anxious but we had a very productive day I got a lot of stuff done that you guys didn't see but I think I might do a combo we're going to see it just freshened up a little bit with my little bonai boo like infrared thing it's an infrared like blowout hair I really really like it I've been using it a ton recently and then I ended up going with this outfit which is the one I didn't think I was going to wear my lips love these things this set is abber cromie it's very comfortable I might bring this little like leather laser that I'm honestly like so over but I might want something over this I don't know it's this little matching skirt vest combo it's really cute honestly and then I have on my Sam Edelman kitten heels that I live in at this [Music] point look who it is good morning y'all it is Friday I'm on my way to the Katy Trail I'm going on a walk with my Dad I'm listening to Worlds podcast I don't know if I talked about this on the Vlog I think I touched on it cuz I was watching it but the nobody wants this show so good my favorite favorite podcast World T podcast it's Aaron and Sarah Foster and Aaron wrote the show Sarah produced it they're in their 40s and they reference like their 20s a lot I don't know I feel like it's such a good listen Aaron didn't meet her husband until like 40 no 35 um and they found like I don't know their careers and their Journey has been very very interesting but they're finding like their success and they're hit literally right now obviously new favorite daughter and then this and they have had success with the show though so I am like their top podcast listener like I love their podcast they do like hate influencers I think and like stuff but honestly it's fine they're like dream guests of mine we need to start spamming them to come on the podcast actually well no that I think they would like literally hate me I don't know I really want them mom but they don't I don't think they like influencers like they I don't think they like influencers they're always on influencers or Sarah I don't care I love her so but it's just so cool because to see the success that show has has had I have been so excited to watch this show just because I've been hearing them talk about it for so long and it's just so cool to see like it's blown up I'm so happy for them but that with that being said have y'all seen the show if you haven't you need to it's the number one show everywhere and this is coming for me I don't watch shows okay they have like brought back the romcom they're giving me hope actually because with like Sydney Sweeney's movie and then like why like these are meant to be worn like this but why do I feel like so stupid when I wear like I feel like a secret agent anyways they're giving me hope for romcoms like I really think that they're going to just continue on with that and it was just so good it was really really so good and it's cool when you like know so much about someone not to be like a stalker but I listen to their podcast religiously and it's cool when you know so much about someone and I like picked up on random things throughout the show that were like nods to different things that they like talk about or jokes or like Dynamics or whatever anyways it was just really cool so I'm on my way to my walk today's the dinner party and today we are prepping for the dinner [Music] party PK [Music] P Miss pain love me insane flowers and ch cholate in a color that matches my Bonet oh no it's not a taste only the [Music] best all right y'all it is noon now we have the podcast episode up the YouTube videos up we did all the BTS stuff it's ready to go Carly Weinstein's on this week it's such a good episode it's like a warm hug if you feel Lon L if you feel like a little bit lost like you want to make it's a really good one for like navigating your 20s but we really go into loneliness in your 20s and I think y'all are really going to like it the episode feels like a warm hug so I will link the YouTube video below and if y'all are coming from this video let me know I am like really liking my hair color I'm really glad that I did this I made a cute little drink I should not be drinking this much coffee I know I know I know I made our floral arrangements I can show y'all the dining room the house is pretty much ready I have a couple things that I need to do but I'm about to head out to Sprouts this is the table I'm thinking it looks really cute okay the only thing is I don't love how the glasses look but these are going to be moved anyways and I had to take one of the arrangements off because it was going to be a fire hazard anyways these are my new like place mats napkin rings and then coasters custom from leatherology so cute what a good gift and y'all honestly great thing to ask for for Christmas great gift to give other people great for housewarming like they're just so cute I went with k for keny Elizabeth my real initials or KP like K possible but I wanted these to be more Timeless and I feel like eventually I probably will change my last name so love that these are plates from my grandparents like their wedding China these utensils are from at home they're really great Amazon probably Amazon as well obviously our conversation cards are from a friend of mine I made fall Arrangements I never make arrangements anymore because I have these hydrangeas all over my house like the ones over there I just don't need them um but I wanted to make it a little bit more fall because here's the issue like my plate wall definitely gives spring or weirdly winter it doesn't give fall okay so we're just kind of making de I have six people coming over tonight when we start eating we do typically take the flowers we move them at least so everyone can see each other but yeah I love this table I need to go to the grocery store I just made my list from my recipe journal and we are good to go I'm going to listen to my podcast I love listening to a podcast and going to Sprouts one of my favorite things I've also gathered some of these bowls which I will use for serving like these will probably be pasta stuff something on those lines these will be apps like bacon or dates and christinis one of these will be salad I actually actually don't know we might need to get one more Bowl I'll have to figure that out but yeah it's all matching it looks great we don't really need butter but I just love this I think it's so cute this loaf there was a jalapeno one there just now that's why there's jalapenos it's just so incredible like love this one the recipe is on my Tik Tok Instagram all that stuff this is our menu I've kind of shown you all already it's going to be
