….I’m thankful for:
cute ballet flats that were 50% off at the Jcrew Outlet
perfect blue skies
date night at a mystery restaurant (!)
heartfelt emails from friends
coffee dates
running errands on foot
picking all the frosting off of the last tiramisu cupcake
the fact that winter is officially over
book club starting tomorrow
the book of James
these hawaiian bbq pulled chicken sandwiches!
Hop on over to Tasty Kitchen for the recipe—it’s so simple and delicious that it’ll blow your mind!!

Tonya
April 29, 2011 at 8:15 pmI covet your shoes. Sorry, it’s true. Forgive me!
I just printed this recipe off TK’s site today, despite my husbands rolled eyes. He hates warm fruit. What? Crazy man. Needless to say, I try not to make things he doesn’t care for, but I just might have to make an exception since my kiddos would love it too. 🙂
Have a great weekend Jenna! I am jealous of your date night too. Does that make me a bad person?

May 2, 2011 at 6:46 pmYou’re totally speaking to my heart right now. I love, love, love J.Crew! Beautiful flats that you just scored!
The boyfriend just booked us tix for Napa (so excited!!), and I may just have to trick him into stopping at the J.Crew outlet while we’re there. 🙂
I was drooling over the BBQ chicken recipe as soon as I saw it on PW. Then when I clicked over and saw it was your recipe I was like “who else would come up with this perfect start to spring recipe?!”
