☕️💕 Happy Friday, my friends! 💕

We made it to Friday, and today is looking like a little bit of pampering mixed with a whole lot of normal life maintenance! 😂

First up, I’m getting a facial from my sweet daughter, and I am definitely looking forward to that! 💆‍♀️💕 Then I might sneak off and do a little thrifting because y’all know that’s my kind of therapy! 🛍️

But then reality calls! 😂 Grocery shopping, meal planning, meal prepping, and all those little things that keep a household running!

Nothing too exciting, just a good old-fashioned Friday of getting my life together before the weekend! And honestly, I love days like this. A little self-care, a little fun, and a whole lot of checking things off my list!

And then tonight, my big kiddos are coming over to carve some more pumpkins and they’re wanting to have another bonfire! 🎃🔥

Apparently, we haven’t had enough fall fun around here yet, and I’m not complaining one bit! Y’all know I’ll take any excuse to have my babies all together, even if they’re grown! ❤️

So I guess I better get busy checking things off this list!

What’s on your Friday agenda?

Are you working, relaxing, playing catch-up, or squeezing in a little fall fun like us? 💗

🍯 Hot Honey Chicken & Roasted Potatoes

 50–55 minutes  4–6 servings  Easy
Ingredients

1½–2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
1½ lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
4 large carrots, peeled and sliced into thick pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Hot Honey Glaze
¼ cup honey
1–2 teaspoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tablespoon apple c***r vinegar
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
Toss potatoes and carrots with 2 tablespoons olive oil and half the seasonings. Spread on the pan and roast for 15 minutes.
Coat chicken with remaining olive oil and seasonings.

Mix honey, hot sauce, melted butter, vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
Remove pan from oven, add chicken, and brush with half the glaze. Roast another 20–25 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F and potatoes are tender.

Brush chicken with remaining glaze during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Use glaze that hasn't touched raw chicken.

For extra caramelization, broil for 1–2 minutes, watching closely.

Pink Aprons Kitchen Tip: If you don't like a lot of heat, use just ½ teaspoon of hot sauce. You'll still get that delicious sweet honey flavor! For a little extra sweetness, drizzle warm honey over everything before serving.

☕💕 THINK ABOUT IT THURSDAY! 💕

Good Thursday morning, my friends! 🍂

Y’all, today I REALLY want to make myself stay home and be productive. BUT every time I think about staying home, I start thinking about all those poor little treasures sitting in the thrift stores just waiting on me to rescue them! 😂🛍️ I mean, what if I miss something I didn’t even know I needed?! 🤣

But seriously, I have a list a mile long today!

📦 Get some more things listed on Vinted
☕ Make some homemade coffee creamer
🍞 Bake some sandwich bread
🍽️ Eventually figure out what’s for dinner
📱 Try to video it all so y’all can make these things in your own kitchens, too!

Because at this point, I feel like we’re all just Facebook besties hanging out in each other’s kitchens! 🥰

Oh, and somewhere in there I need to take a shower and make myself look halfway presentable for my subscriber Bible study! 📖❤️

And what am I motivated to do right now?

Absolutely NOTHING but sit here and drink my coffee! ☕😂

The struggle is REAL, y’all!

So here’s your Think About It Thursday thought: Sometimes the hardest part of being productive is convincing yourself to get up out of that chair and put the coffee cup down! 🤣

Now tell me, are we being productive today, or are we going thrifting? Because I could be persuaded either way! 😂🛍️
