I have to say that I’m pretty proud of myself. Scott and I had dinner with new friends last night (new friends!!!!!), and when we got home around 9:30, I sat on the couch. No, that’s not what made me proud. After I sat on the couch like a bump on a log for 20…

Rosemary Grilled Chicken Thighs with Cheese Grits and Spinach
Okay, so maybe I’ve let my titles go a bit. They’re still informative though. That’s important, right? Right. This weekend was full of good, practical things like titles that say exactly what they mean. I’m not sure if cheese grits fall into that category, but they are certainly good. And inexpensive.

Chopped: Pecans and Walnuts and Mmm, Oh My!
