Fiesta Friday #309

Happy New Year to one and all! May the new year bring us all happiness and health as well as peace and prosperity.

I’ve had such a whirlwind couple of weeks, with all the traveling… and going places… and partying… and eating. It was exhausting!

Maybe that’s why I didn’t feel like leaving my hotel room in Las Vegas. That was the first time I felt that way about a hotel. It was the last leg of our trip, and I just wanted to stay in bed.


Also because that room was nothing like any other hotel room I was ever in. The bathroom alone was the size of my kitchen, dining room, and living room combined! It was huge!

But I’m glad to be back home because I missed Skye so much. She couldn’t contain her excitement when she saw us. It was so sweet to see her dancing and barking while circling us. This was the longest time we had left her and we were worried she might have forgotten us. Apparently she didn’t. What a relief.

And now, of course, I’m nursing a cold. Probably the result of exhaustion. Plus all the rains. Please, somebody, bring back the sun!

Will you all be my sunshine this week? Join our fiesta and let the fun begins!

From last week’s fiesta

Tumeric Ginger Tonic from Zeba @ Food For The Soul

“I am wild crazy for this recipe. It has everything good in it. A perfect start for the New Year.” — Mollie

“Hear, hear, Mollie! I seriously NEED this! I came back from my trip with a cold, boohoo!” — Angie

Galaxy Caramel Cheesecake from Kat @ The Baking EXplorer

“Kat always comes through with showstopper desserts. This Galaxy Caramel Cheesecake is gorgeous AND no-bake! All my resolutions are going out the door with this one!” — Mollie

Vegan Macaroni Gratin from Ai @ Ai Made It For You

“[This] looks incredible and easy to make and so much healthier than the standard version.” — Mollie

Slow Cooker Southern Black-Eyed Peas from Miz Helen @ Miz Helen’s Country Cottage

“This sounds so good! I might start replacing my New Year’s Day Hoppin’ John with this, instead. I love the story that comes with the recipe, too.” — Angie

      My family usually tries to avoid okra, but I like it, as long as it’s not too slimy. Spanish okra sounds delicious! Maybe I can finally turn my family into okra fans ? Thanks for linking up, Cj!

    Happy New Year! Las Vegas sounds like a perfect break!
    Saying that I bet Skye was so happy to see you! I always find it hard to leave my dogs even for a full day!
    A whole new year ahead and I will try and make it more often, I love Fiesta Friday, thank you for hosting us 🙂 x

      Happy New Year, Petra! It was agonizing to leave Skye behind. We felt so guilty and she did not take it well at all when we left her, but then gradually she settled in and started having fun at the sitter’s house! At least now we know she can survive without us for 2 weeks, lol.
