Nine Favorite Things. - Half Baked Harvest

Only one week away from you all, and we have so much to share! We didnât do a Favoriteâs post last week since it was Easter Sunday. I hope you all had a nice holiday with your families, whether you celebrate or not.

We’re back at it after the busiest week that threw me a serious curve ball. If you read the last favorite’s post, I shared that I was traveling to New York this week to shoot a big project. Well, I did just that. I was so excited for this shoot and we’ve been preparing for it for weeks. It was something new and so different for me, but I was SURE it was going to work out and be amazing.

But you know what, sometimes things just aren’t meant to be. After the first day of the shoot, I knew that in order to get this project done to the standards I hold myself to, I needed to pivot. The shoot just wasn’t flowing the way it needed to, and my photos didn’t look the same. My work just wasn’t “my work”. I knew in my gut that as much as I wanted to make this work, I needed to do this shoot from home, in my space. So here I am, unexpectedly back at home.

While I’m disappointed, I knew I had to pivot and adjust. Things don’t always work out the way we planned. At the time, you may not understand why. But hopefully, down the road you’ll understand why things happened the way they did.

I’m keeping my head up and working like a crazy girl, but I’m happy with my decision. I know it’s what needed to be done!

I do still have a little bit of fun travel ahead. I’m heading to LA this week for the launch of our menu collaboration with Fig Restaurant in Santa Monica. I’m so excited! It’s going to be a packed few days.

Oh, and I’m looking forward to some warm weather,Â too!

After LA I’m home for a couple of days and then back to NYC for a few days. Everyone in the family is all over the place. My mom, dad, Creighton, Asher, and Oslo are in San Miguel, Mexico, which they say is amazingly beautiful. Then they’re off to visit my grandpa in the Caribbean.

How about you all? Are you traveling this month? Staying put? What’s something that makes you the happiest right now?

I hope you all are having the best start to April! Spring is here, and I’m so happy it is! Enjoy another fun favorite post! I have lots to share below.

1. Things Iâm loving, wanting, and excited to try.

random, but fun…Quiz: What Should Your Next Mani Be? I got stormy grey, which I kind of love. So that’s my next nail color for sure.

everything in my cart (low)â¦ordering this quilted jacket from Zara. Plus, this white sleeveless mini dress, red mini dress, flowy top (cute color), and heeled toe sandals. So cute for spring!

Ok, and some workout pieces, because it’s spring and time to get back outside. Loving how cute this Alo set is. I’m ordering the iconic 90s bra and these capri pants. Also, this Beyond Yoga racerback cropped tank I found on Amazon is super cute.

listening toâ¦Kelly LeVeque, Clinical Nutritionist: Optimizing Protein For Women, Blood Sugar Balance, Post Ozempic Maintenance, & More. I know Kelly personally and she is a wealth of knowledge. I loved this episode and found it to be so valuable if you’re interested in upping your nutrition.

dreaming of going…Harbour Island, Bahamas. Need to stay at the Rosalita House. Maybe in May. You all, I need a tropical vacation!

readingâ¦How to Dry Dahlia’s – so cute. Dahlias are probably my favorite flower.

shoppingâ¦these cute ink pens and vintage coupe glasses on Amazon.

watching…Inside Gisele BÃ¼ndchenâs New Miami HomeâAnd See Her Most Prized Possessions. Ok, so pretty! I need to live in Miami!

travel…Where to See 2024âs Magnificent Total Solar Eclipse. Check out the locations around the US. Shout out to all my family in Cleveland, you all are in a great spot to view the eclipse! So is my family, who are currently in Mexico – so cool!

everything in my cart (beauty)â¦the Yves Saint Laurent libre eau de parfum sounds wonderful for spring. I want to start wearing perfume more often.

Very curious to try the Tenoverten celery oil for your nails. It’s supposed to lock in moisture, which is exactly what I need.

I love these big effing claw clips for travel days. It’s so easy to just throw your hair up before a flight. They come in so many fun colors and patterns. Another must for travel are the Slip small scrunchies. I’ve been using them a lot recently to hold my braids in place.

If you’re going on spring break, you need these body self-tan drops from Tan Luxe and + Lux Unfiltered NÂº12 bronzing face drops. And the Dior lip glow balm is currently on sale. I would highly recommend getting one of these too.

And if you love a “get ready with me” video, I thought this was cute, How Millie Bobby Brown Gets Ready for Date Night.

I want to watchâ¦Palm Royale. Is anyone watching this? I’m so curious about it, but we don’t have Apple TV!

everything in my cart (high)â¦for all the brides to be, this Staud beaded tule mini dress would be so pretty for a wedding shower, rehearsal dinner, or even a more casual wedding.

shoppingâ¦new arrivalsÂ on Zara Home.

5. What Are Your Familyâs Go-To Dinners?

This is such a fun question and I’m so curious to hear your responses. My family’s go-to dinners are as follows…

Growing up, my dad would make potato chip chicken at least once a weekâah, actually more like twice a weekâalways with a side of rice. Of course, there were also his classic crispy beef tacos andÂ his beloved Friday Night Pasta dish.

These days, I make a lot of pasta alla vodka, buffalo chicken, and crispy tacos. Creighton requests stuffed peppers (I have several) and my chili with beer bread often too. These are the family’s GO-TO dinners.

Your turn!

What dinners do you make all the time, what are your staple recipes?Â
