It’s no secret that sheet pan dinners are some of my favorite kinds of dinners. I’ve shared quite a few here on the blog, it’s one of my favorite recipes to develop! However, it is a toss up as to what I like most about these dinners. I love the flavor of roasted vegetables but I also love how quick and easy the preparation and clean up is for these types of meals! With St. Patrick’s Day next week, I wanted to share an Irish sheet pan dinner that is the perfect way to celebrate.
I am a firm believer in accessories. That is, accessories really can make an outfit. Whether it’s making a look casual or dressy or preppy or edgy, it’s all in the accessories. Although some of my favorite accessories are usually shoes, bags, jewelry and of course lipstick, there is a trend that I have been loving since fall: scarves. Now, I have been wearing scarves (more of the larger and blanket variety) for years, but the square, silk scarf is a newer, more trendy scarf for me. And dare I say, oh so chic? This spring silk scarf is the latest in my collection, and you are never going to believe where I found it.
Excuse me as I attempt to dress for the weather over here. One day I am wearing sweaters and the next it’s full out spring. However, I won’t complain because I am excited to wear spring pieces, even if it’s only once a week. If I had to pick a spring uniform to wear for casual days and even date nights, this would be it. I have raved about this top on countless occasions (most recently in yesterday’s post!) but I think I have found my favorite color yet. You know you have a problem when you own the same shirt in four different colors, but this pink ruffle top takes the cake when it comes to the best shade.

With the start of a new month tomorrow, I wanted to introduce a new bimonthly series here on A Blonde’s Moment. This series will feature the top 6 items from the two pervious month, picked by you! These have been the most popular items over the past two months, and I have to say I completely agree! Here are January and February’s most popular products.
Last spring, Richard and I went on a “no carb” diet for a few weeks. I can honestly say that it was the most awful thing ever! I love all kinds of carbs and two weeks without them was super difficult for me. However, I did feel better (and lost weight). For me, cutting carbs out of my diet was a great way to detox. Dinner ideas were pretty easy, but no carb breakfast items (besides eggs) was challenging. I stumbled upon a no flour banana muffin recipe on Pinterest and decided to give it a shot. After a few ingredient changes, these healthy peanut butter and banana muffins have become a go-to in both our house and my parent’s for the past year.
Graphic tops. Pair them with jeans and sneakers and you have the perfect casual outfit for spring. As I mentioned in last Thursday’s post, I am always attracted to navy during the spring. And after the warmer temperatures the past few days, I have been reaching for all my spring pieces, including this cute graphic top for spring.
Last weekend, we headed to central Virginia, Charlottesville to be exact, to spend some time in the heart of Virginia wine country. We have been to “suburbs” of Charlottesville before, but never made it to Charlottesville proper until this trip. Richard and I love to visit wineries in Northern Virginia closer to our home, but we were anxious to try more of central Virginia’s wineries. We packed up the car and headed south for President’s Day weekend to explore a new area of our state, with Ella in tow, for a warm but overcast and rainy weekend in Virginia wine country.

There is always a trendy color of the season. And while there are a few that I am loving for spring, it would be difficult to not start with this year’s Pantone Color of the Year. I talked about my love for the new color of the year in this post and the love is still going strong! From violet to lavender and everything in between, shades of purple are everywhere this spring.
Happy Tuesday, friends! I hope you enjoyed your weekend/long weekend. I just wanted to hop on to share this quick and easy homemade ravioli recipe I have made a few times this winter. Pasta is one of my favorite foods. I probably could eat it every night if it were acceptable, but homemade pasta has always been on my cooking to do list. While this isn’t exactly homemade pasta, it does come pretty close. And it’s a quick and yummy weekend dish.
One day I am talking about spring and the next I’m back to wearing sweaters. I guess it’s fitting since this change reflects our current weather situation! Although, I have to say, I am glad the temperatures dropped a little so I could wear this new white fuzzy sweater that just arrived last week in the mail. This cozy sweater was my go-to top last weekend. Pair it with high waisted jeans and sneakers for a casual winter weekend outfit.
