A Homemade Thursday

Sometimes, in the midst of a crazy week, nothing feels as good as a comfortable but cute outfit, yoga, and homemade food.

I enjoyed a homemade breakfast for the first time in ages since I took today as a rest day.

The few extra minutes to get ready meant that I could also try a new outfit combination and have time to change four times!

My work day was a complete blur since I started the morning in meetings at Macy’s and then ended the day in meetings back at the office. While I was sitting in meetings, poor little Justin Bieber was getting beat up by a crazy masked man.

Justin Bieber's crazed middle-aged fan was taken into custody and issued a summons for disorderly conduct Thursday afternoon.

By the end of the day, I felt about the same way this Bieber fan felt after waiting outside Macy’s Herald Square for two days straight.

Luckily, I had this lovely site waiting for me at home.

After a 20 minutes  of shoulder opening yoga poses, I headed into the kitchen to whip up a homemade dinner. It’s been a long week for both of us and we agreed that even though takeout or delivery is easy, nothing tastes as delicious as homemade.

The main dish was Trader Joe’s chicken patties. These are seriously one of our favorite Trader Joe items. They are perfectly seasoned, our perfect cooked in a pan or grilled, and are healthy!

Now, it’s time to relax and let go with Hall Pass. Hopefully it’s good for a few laughs.

What is your favorite Trader Joe’s item?
