Happy Friday

More than anything this weekend, I want to kick off my shoes and relax.  Unfortunately, I won't get a work break on Monday (President's Day!) but I will be more than content to stay indoors during the expected stormy weather.  Here are the five things I'm looking forward to this weekend:

1. DIY projects here and here
2. Trying to make a new desserts
3. Considering some new party favors for my wedding
4. Deciding what my next hair cut and color will be
5. Spending an entire weekend with my fiancé (he won't be working finally!) and hopefully seeing this exhibit

What will you look forward to?

Comfort Food - "Perfect Macaroni & Cheese"

When it comes to the weekend, there's nothing better than relaxing after a hard week's work.  Having comfort food definitely helps.  I don't often eat macaroni and cheese because it's such a rich treat, but when I do I like to go all out.  This recipe I found from Martha Stewart's website is the adult version of the childhood comfort food (there's even a brief history on where macaroni and cheese came from!).  The mix of white cheddar, Gruyere, and pecorino Romano cheese make for a great blend of flavor.  

The week goes by so quickly, I have to remind myself to sit back and appreciate things that happened.  I am definitely looking forward to a peaceful and quiet weekend with movies, food and friends.  Happy Friday!
