Five things {Oh Hey Friday}

What a week! Even though I have only had a three day week for some reason today I feel EXHAUSTED! Lucky for me that its a bank holiday weekend - hello lie in on Monday morning! So with out further ado here are five things on my mind this Friday

One

Forget the bride having wedding blues I have bridesmaid blues! Last Thursday I was honoured to be Chief Bridesmaid for my Lucy and it was such an amazing day.  I also feel very blessed that she put us in such amazing bridesmaid dresses - I swished that petticoat all day long, it's my favourite thing I've ever worn...ever and I can't wait to have a decent excuse to wear it again soon! I managed to hold it together when reading the poem I wrote them and I think everyone liked the favours that I spent hours making. Lu made such a beautiful bride and Andy a very handsome groom, they are the perfect couple and I know they have many happy years ahead of them!

The night before the wedding I cooked an Italian feast for the bridesmaids, bride and her parents, her last meal of freedom so to speak! It was lush and went down very well. Baked chicken, Parmigiana Melanzane and a fresh green salad check out the recipe here

Already our mini holiday to Whitby feels like a lifetime ago but what a lovely break we had. Whitby is in Yorkshire and is a beautiful part of the UK coastline. It is also the place where Dracula is said to have arrived ashore and I must admit the abbey was quite eerie at night! The girls had a great time and H and I had a great time with them.

Stuck for meal ideas this weekend? Fancy something a bit different that's fresh, flavoursome and most importantly healthy? Check out my recipe for Turkey Shawarma  - you wont regret it, it tastes great!

And yes, once more, can we just have a big cheer for the bank holiday weekend!
