I have shared my love for weeknight dinners on the grill before (most recently in this post). Since we had a few warmer days in March, we have already used the grilled quite a bit this spring. I made this Avocado Caprese Chicken a few weeks ago and couldn’t wait to share it with all of you. This easy grilled dinner is perfect for weeknights or anytime you are looking for a quick dinner. Pair it with a salad, rice or even pasta, this Avocado Caprese Chicken is a new favorite in our house.
Tropical-Inspired Spring Dress
While spring has arrived in many places, spring decided to take a break over the weekend here in D.C. Temperatures were in the 30s Sunday morning! However, I think most places are suffering from strange spring temperatures. Even in the south! I wore this fun, tropical-inspired spring dress is Austin this past weekend. It was hot and in the high 80s on Friday and made for the perfect brightly colored piece for the warm, spring temperatures. Maybe Texas can send us some of those temperatures!
My 3 Favorite Face Masks
Before I started blogging, I don’t even think I knew what a face mask was. And if I did, I certainly didn’t use it often. Now, after having tried several face masks over the years, I have narrowed down my 3 favorite face masks to share with you today. Although my skin wasn’t bad before, it’s amazing how much more hydrated and radiant it looks since adding a few products to my routine.

Fried Green Tomatoes
I am not one to eat fried food that often, but there is one fried food I will always make an exception for: fried green tomatoes. If I am at a restaurant with this delicious southern appetizer on the menu, you can bet I am ordering it. I hesitate to declare a “favorite” but fried green tomatoes are definitely high on my list of favorite foods. And while I have found some restaurants that have pretty good fried green tomatoes, I figured it was time to make my own. After trying a few recipes, I have finally found one that is a winner.

Springing into Yellow
There is nothing like yellow in the springtime. Yellow is one color that seems to be present in spring pieces year after year, regardless of trends. However, this year more than ever, yellow can be found just about anywhere. Purple may be the color of the year, but this bright and cheerful shade is definitely giving purple a run for it’s money. Here is some spring yellow outfit inspiration for today’s Wednesday Wishes…
