Hello! Thank you ♡ the second one is called eggs en cocotte (recipe by lindseyeatsla.com)
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon softened butter
3-6 eggs 1-2 in each ramekin, depending on size
1/4th cup heavy cream
1/4th cup cheese Boursin garlic & herbs, herbed goat cheese, Comté, Emmental, Gruyere all can work
bundle of chives thinly sliced to serve
Salt and pepper to taste
toasted baguette to serve
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and bring a kettle to a boil.
Take your softened butter, and spread around your ramekins to help with any sticking/and to add more flavor. Crack 1-2 eggs in each ramekin (depending on the size of your vessel).
Finish off with crumbled or shredded cheese of your choice (you can use Boursin garlic & herbs, herbed goat cheese, Comté, Emmental, Gruyere all can work)
Finish with your cream; 1/4th cup total divided into 3 ramekins.
Place your ramekins in a baking dish/oven safe proof dish that has a little bit of height. Next, you’re going to make your water bath by pouring your boiling water into the baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides. Cover with your ramekin tops or foil. This helps cook the eggs really gently, and it stays really creamy!
The second to last one are chicken taquitos!
I shredded a rotisserie chicken and added el pato hot sauce, chopped onions, & cilantro. mix that all together and roll into softened tortillas (I used flour), lightly fry with olive oil in a pan and serve with sour cream, lettuce & shredded cheddar cheese 💕
omg congratulations on your baby!! 💕🎀 the time flies by incredibly fast so make sure to enjoy these newborn moments!! 🌷
thank you so so much 💗 ugh I know time is a thief, I’m appreciating every moment with her ✨💗
BOUNDARIES. Examples for when to say NO and when to say YES.
When to say NO:
- When you're already committed to too many tasks and taking on more would be overwhelming.
- When you need time for yourself to relax, recharge, or pursue your interests.
- When someone invades your personal space or asks intrusive questions.
- When someone asks for something that's beyond your capacity or comfort.
- When someone tries to involve you in gossip or negative conversations about others.
- When someone uses guilt, threats, or manipulation to pressure you into doing something.
- When your generosity is being taken advantage of, and it's affecting your own needs.
- When someone asks you to do something that goes against your values or principles.
- When someone borrows money from you without a clear plan for repayment.
- When someone consistently disrespects your boundaries or treats you poorly.
When to Say YES:
- When a close friend genuinely needs your support and you're capable of providing it.
- When you're passionate about a cause and want to contribute your time and skills.
- When an opportunity arises that aligns with your goals and helps you learn and develop.
- When you're invited to gatherings or events that you genuinely enjoy and benefit from.
- When saying "yes" to social or professional opportunities can help you make valuable connections.
- When your family members or loved ones need your emotional or practical assistance.
- When saying "yes" involves trying something new or acquiring useful skills.
- When taking on a new task or responsibility can push you to grow and overcome obstacles.
- When saying "yes" to maintaining healthy relationships involves compromise and mutual understanding.
- When you're confident that saying "yes" won't negatively impact your overall well-being or other important obligations.
a reminder to self: your self respect has to be stronger than your feelings. if not, that person will keep on doing what you continue to allow them to do so. you have to come to a realization that your self worth is so much more than that. especially if they’re disrespecting you and your boundaries and/or not reciprocating energy. change without action is manipulation. they heard you the first. second. and third time. it’s time you learn to let go. set the standard for your life. raise the bar. don’t accept the bare minimum just because you’re in a period of loneliness and isolation. that’s the time you should value most. it’s imperative to learn to love yourself. you’ll find growth and contentment in your solitude. trust me. it does get better in due time.
