ICYMI + Last Week’s Eats

Confession. I was seeing ICYMI all over the internet and social media and I had no clue what it meant for months. I finally Googled it and learned that it stands for, “in case you missed it.” Now I know.

My blog guru Isaac did a WordPress and plugin update last week and unfortunately the combination of the two sometimes causes issues. I learned that some people were having issues accessing my site and many others were unable to leave comments. I was wondering why the comments were so quiet last week, I thought you guys just didn’t have much to say! 😉 I was tipped off that there was an issue when I posted yesterday’s giveaway and received no entries in the first couple of hours.

We got it all figured out and all is well again. I say “we” like this was a team thing but really Isaac is the star of this show and worth every penny that I pay him for hosting and maintenance.

So, ICYMI…here’s a quick recap of last week’s posts:

Last Week’s Eats

slow cooker teriyaki chicken

Slow cooker teriyaki chicken with stir fry veggies over cauliflower rice. My verdict on this is that it was just okay. Tanner really liked it but I don’t think it’s a share-worthy recipe.

Arugula, rice, babaganoush, avocado, falafel and sundried tomatoes.

Rice bowl with leftovers from La Shish Kabob. Arugula, rice, babaganoush, avocado, falafel and sundried tomatoes.

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]
