Happy Friday! What’s on the agenda this weekend? So far I know I’m working at Saturday shift at the hospital and going to yoga at some point, but otherwise, my calendar is blissfully blank. Let’s see what the next few days bring. It feels good not to be over-scheduled for a change! Got some cooking planned? Here are a few suggestions from yours truly:

This is also, apparently, how I learned to be more discerning about the people I share my avocados with. It’s kind of like the food blogger version of “If it came down to it, would I give this person a kidney?” Or am I the only one who makes lists that way?

What’s on your to-cook list this weekend? Any fun plans coming up? Are you discerning with your avocado-sharing?
