Nine Favorite Things.
Thanks for joining me for another Nine Favorite Things post.
And just like that, we have made it to another Sunday. This week was a long one with lots happening, mostly good and some ehh, not so awesome. Anyone else have a similar week? I know everyone’s lives are looking so different right now. I’m hoping the weather is slowly turning nice where you are, that the flowers are blooming, and that you’re all hanging in there and staying positive while hanging at home.
Around here, I think everyone was just a bit on edge this week after days of cold, wet snow. Or maybe it was just me. But either way, this week felt a little more dreary than the previous week of sun-filled days. It’s crazy how much the weather can really affect my mood. I’m longing for warmer spring days and blooming flowers, but reality set in and I realized we still have a ways to go until anything turns green around here. Living so high up in the mountains, we kind of go from winter into summer and skip right over spring. But it’s fine (positivity here), I’m bringing springtime to me with colorful recipes and edible flowers. I’m also going to share some inspiration photos of my favorite spring flowers below. The colors might not be blooming outside, but I’m bringing them into my life in other ways!
In other news, I have a short baby goat update! I’m so happy to share that all three little baby goats are healthy, happy, and very lively. Their sweet bond with their mom, Layla, is so fun to watch and puts a smile on my face every time I look out my kitchen sink window in the morning. We are loving having them around…but we’ve yet to name the three little guys (yes, they are all boys!). Do you guys have ideas? They are “The Three Musketeers” as of right now, but we need to name them already! Soo…
Question: what would you name our three baby goats?
Lastly, I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to comment on last week’s Favorite’s post. I asked a number of questions in hopes that some of you would answer. I was blown away by all the responses we received. Everyone on the HBH end has enjoyed reading the responses come in throughout this week. And yes, we’ve read each and every comment. I loved all the positive responses and loved getting to know you guys more. If you missed the post, or are curious to read everyone’s answers, check out the post here.
Coming up this week on HBH, we’ll be kicking the week off with a vibrant new spring salmon recipe. We’ll then be moving on to a new Thai inspired dish. And then a fun spring grilled cheese. On Friday we’ve got a sweet dessert that will be perfect for Mother’s Day…which is in just three weeks! How is it that May is already almost here?
If you’re catching up on blog posts from the week, be sure to sign up for our daily newsletters. They’ll help you to stay up to date with everything that’s happening here, as well as fun content you’ll only get via email. And of course, if you’re meal planning today, don’t forget to check out my menu below (it’s # 9 on the favorite’s list).
I hope you enjoy this week’s Nine Favorite Things and have a wonderful Sunday at home. What’s one thing everyone is either cooking and or baking today? I can’t wait to see what gets posted today on Instagram.
1. “Throwing shade” and a podcast to listen to.
The other day a reader left a comment on an Instagram post informing me that another influencer/blogger had “thrown shade” towards me during an Instagram live. This reader asked, what’s the beef between you and so and so?
Did I know anything about this? Nope. Did I really care? Nope. Not in the least. To be honest, this type of stuff happens in this industry and in life everywhere. Things can get cliquey and people can be negative. I’ve learned to let it not affect me (for the most part).
BUT here’s the thing….while the comment didn’t bother me, and this person “throwing shade” didn’t bother me, what actually got me thinking was another reader’s sweet message. After reading the comment, I simply responded saying that I knew nothing about this and I had no “beef” with so and so. I got a few messages from curious readers, but a very kind reader sent me a very sweet direct message with the below quote.
“There’s room for everyone at the top. Women need to be supporting other women, especially women running their own businesses in what used to be quite the male-dominated field!”.
This is so true and while we all preach it, do we all follow it? It’s easy to say, but harder to execute. In times like these, it’s so important to support others, to be positive, and not to focus on the negatives. Trust me, I know it’s hard. Especially now when we all have a lot of pent up frustration.
A year ago I was still more of a negative versus positive person. I didn’t say negative things, but to be honest, I could be more doubtful than positive. But as I get older, the more I realize what a waste of time negativity is. I’ve really learned to stay focused on only the things I’m doing…I’m fortunate to have things to do. I’ve been trying to focus more on the positives, and not so much on the negatives. Yes, it’s hard and I certainly have moments. But all-in-all I feel better and I get more done when I look at things in a positive light.
And what’s the biggest waste of time? Focusing on what others are doing and calling them out for their flaws. Focus on you and you’ll accomplish so much more. And all-in-all you’ll be so much happier with life. Ask yourself this, what does negativity, talking bad about others, and calling out their flaws do for you? Does it make you feel better? Does it help you reach a goal?
The answer is neither. So why waste your time?
I listened to this episode of The Skinny Confidential Him and Her podcast this week that spoke to these points. If you’re feeling negative right now, listen to this episode. I took away so many valuable lessons.
Hoping this inspires you all to look at the week in a new light and realize what a waste of time it is to “throw shade”.
Tip? One thing that really helps me stay positive…and actually makes me feel good, is to do something nice for someone else. Today I’m sending flowers to be delivered to four people whom we closely work with. Hoping fresh flowers on a Monday will kickstart their week!

3. Here’s my favorites in my Sephora cart…
Lately, I’ve developed this horrible habit of picking at the blemishes on my face until they literally bleed. It feels very much like a nervous habit and I do it as I work away on the computer. In an effort to break this pattern, I’m trying out some new clean beauty and make-up products….
Here are all of my favorites in my Sephora cart…
Question: Have any of you tried any of these? Any products you would recommend?
4. favorite questions of the week.
q: Pick your essentials, just one. Seasoning? Vegetable? Protein? Fruit?
answers:
Seasoning: salt, of course, but then smoked paprika
Vegetable: ugh, so hard…all of them? I guess broccoli…no, wait…maybe carrots
Protein plant-based: any kind of nut/nut butter
Protein meat: chicken, boring but it’s what I cook most
Fruit: this isn’t fair. I honestly can’t choose just one
q: On a scale of 1-10, how funny would you say you are?
a: I can’t tell a joke for the life of me and don’t understand them either. The only funny thing I can do is mess things up, which I do often 🤷🏻♀️
q: Do you make goat cheese from your goats? And what else do you use the goats for?
a: We’ve been making goat yogurt + goat cheese, in addition to our usual consumption of goat milk. We have sooo much milk. If you’ve never tried goat milk I highly recommend it. It’s easier to digest and doesn’t mess with your skin (or so I’ve read). We love it!! The goat’s original purpose, however, was to eat all the weeds on the property. That way we don’t have to use harsh chemicals to kill the weeds.
q: How do you swap active yeast for instant yeast and vice versa?
a: To Use Active Dry Yeast: Mix 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast with warm water (or milk depending on the recipe) + 1 teaspoon sugar (or whatever sweetener the recipe calls for). Let sit 5-10 minutes, until bubbly and foamy on top. At this point, the yeast is activated and you can follow the remainder of the recipe as directed
To use instant yeast: just add the packet of yeast to the flour. You don’t need to proof (activate) it in water first.
No Yeast Option: If you do not have access to yeast, you can omit the yeast and instead use 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder + 1 teaspoon baking soda, added in with the flour. You can skip the first rising. However, each recipe is different, this is only a suggestion.
5. newest recipe video.
Kimchi Grilled Cheese…my guess is you’ll have everything on hand to make this.
And on Instagram stories…
Crispy Chicken Tinga Taquitos with Salty Lime Avocado Crema…plus all the toppings.
Bursting Blueberry Lemon Thyme Tarts…one of my favorites – So. Darn. Good!
Sheet Pan Lemon Rosemary Dijon Chicken and Potatoes with Feta Goddess Sauce…not your average sheet pan dinner.
Crinkle Top Chocolate Peanut Butter Skillet Blondies…flakey, crinkly top, but insanely warm and gooey too.
Lemon Butter Cheese Ravioli with Garlicky Basil Breadcrumbs…plus a little white wine in that pan sauce too.
Creamy Coconut Lime Mojito…with a lime sugared rim that keeps everyone coming back.

I’m sorry you had to be dragged into negativity :(. I feel like trolls are even worse right now, during the pandemic – ridiculous.
Goats’ names = Billy, Bradley, Jackson
Thank you so much Liz! xTieghan
Cutest baby goats! The Three Musketeers names are Athos, Porthos and Aramis, if you want to stay with your current theme 🙂
Thank you so much Jennie! xTieghan
Ha! I love that you don’t understand jokes either! I thought I was the only one! Keep up the amazing work, love checking in on the Nine Favorites every Sunday 🙂
You are too kind! Thank you so much Shannon! xTieghan
Thank you for taking the time to put this together each week – it has become a tradition to sit down early Sunday mornings with a cup of coffee, and read through your Favorite Things while the sun rises with the birds. I appreciate your honesty, as well as your positivity especially in light of the not-so-fun moments of life. You have become quite a presence in our house, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Wishing you a restful, cozy, and hopefully sun-glimpsed Sunday!
P.S. I’m rewatching the Harry Potter films, and I can’t help but think Harry, Ronald and Neville would make adorable names for the goat babies 😉
Ooo that would be cute! Thank you so much Cody! I am going to need to do a marathon soon haha! xTieghan
Love your blog and recipes, what is even better my husband loves them too!
Goat names Winken, Blinken and Nod
Thank you so much Georgana! xTieghan
Tieghan- I love starting my Sunday morning with a cup of
Coffee and “Nine Favorite Things”. It’s the little things that really bring joy during this challenging time. I’m
sorry you’ve had to deal with negativity. You have been a positive part of my life with your recipes! You’ve brought my family together in the kitchen. Just this weekend so far we’ve made Ice Cream a Banana Bread, Fudge POP Tarts and Paprika Rubbed Rotisserie Chicken. Thank you for sharing your talents!
Aw that makes me so happy to hear! I am so glad my recipes are turning out so well for you and your family! I hope you are staying healthy and well! xTieghan
How about Huey Dewey and Louie for the little goats? They are adorable by the way. And loved the message about being positive! Finally made you homemade Naan the other day, what fun and a great treat.
Aw! Adorable! Thank you so much Rebecca! Also, so glad you liked the naan!! xTieghan
Love today’s post, especially your quote….”Ask yourself this, what does negativity, talking bad about others, and calling out their flaws do for you? Does it make you feel better? Does it help you reach a goal? The answer is neither. So why waste your time?”
Always remember we don’t know what’s going on in a person’s life any given moment, they may be having a real bad day, depressed, abused, or really just confused or unaware…just let it go.
Hi Mary Ellen! I am glad you liked that! I hope you are staying well through all of this! xTieghan
Love your creativity! Thanks for doing all you do and for your moody photography. 😊
Thank you Colleen! xTieghan
Hi Teigan, I love reading your nine favorite things post. Having a cuppa coffee in the a.m. and reading it brings me back into focus in these crazy times. Your pictures of your recipes look utterly delicious too. I want to try every single one, but cant decide which one to do first…lol! Looking forward to the next nine favorites. Daphne from New Hampshire.
Hi Daphne! I am so glad you like this post and I hope you love all of the recipes haha! Also, I hope you are staying well during this time! xTieghan
Dear Tieghan, I am so glad that you took the time and effort to address “throwing shade”. Your thoughts took me back many, many years to a conversation I had with my daughter when she was 10 about competitiveness (she’s 32 now :o) There are moments that stay with you like they were yesterday and that was one of them for me. I was driving my daughter to a lesson and she was talking about an upcoming competition. It let me lead her to a conversation about sportsmanship. It’s a concept that can be hard to explain to youngsters in relate-able examples. Ironically, I used food and cooking to explain what I was trying get across. I remember saying, “Well, take me and Mrs. Smith (her best friend’s mom) for example – she’s a wonderful cook, right? And I’m pretty good myself, right? But if I said that Mrs. Smith’s cooking wasn’t very good, you’d know I was lying and anyone who had eaten her food would say I was crazy and I would look ridiculous. And saying mean things about Mrs. Smith’s cooking wouldn’t make my cooking taste any better.” She got the point.
I’m sorry to have taken up so much space, but you have addressed something that is SO important in a classy way. We need to take the time to teach our youngsters about things like this. They are life lessons.
Wow that is such a great example! And one that is easy to get across. Thank you so much for sharing this with me Belle! I hope you are doing well! xTieghan
Name the goats Bob, Barry znd Todd! Lol
Thanks for the mesl inspirations!
Thank you Cindy! xTieghan
Tieghan…how are ya? Goats names…Ziggy, Otis and Dash..lol..
Thank you Colleen! I am doing well! How are you? xTieghan
Just want you to know that your “9 favorite things“ posts have become part of my new Sunday morning ritual. It is so relaxing to sit on the couch with a cup of coffee and my phone, and just see where the links take me. It’s a fun way to start the new week. The photos of the flowers from today’s post are so beautiful! And of course, I am always inspired by the recipes and the delicious looking food.
Since it’s Sunday, I’m thinking biblical names would be appropriate for the goats – Moses, Solomon, and Abraham
Aw I am really glad to hear that Susan! Thank you so much! xTieghan
Your “throwing shade” response deserves a mic drop.
Haha thank you Amy! xTieghan
I pick at my face too but have been trying not to. Something that has made a huge difference in my skin is Pai Skincare’s Rosehip Oil! I mix 3 drops with my moisturizer before bed each night and my skin has been evening out nicely. Highly recommend! https://www.paiskincare.us/products/rosehip-bioregenerate-oil?variant=16159369953326
Thank you Shalene!! I will check this out! xTieghan
The Instagram recipes are taking me to a sports page…is it just ne?
Hi Beth! All fixed! Please let me know if you have any other questions! xTieghan
Love your Sunday post as always!
How about Larry, Moe, and Curly for the names?
I made your cheese herb naan last night and honey butter garlic shrimp last night – both AMAZING!!!
The pineapple shrimp tacos are on my list this week to make. Looking forward to your new thai and salmon meals you mentioned!
Thanks for the fabulous recipes!
Cute!! I am so glad you loved those recipes, Gina! Thank you so much! xTieghan
I loved this post especially that you shared the story of the person throwing you shade. Thinking positive can be some of the best medicine! Those who throw shade have an insecurity about themselves which never really has anything to do with the person they are targeting. You have accomplished more than I ever did when I was your age and I am so proud of you. You are an inspiration and as your reader commented, women need to support each other now more than ever! I love your Nine Favorite Things posts and look forward to reading them with my coffee every Sunday! I’ve recently starting blogging and love it but I also know how much work it can be. I know now how much work goes into these posts and appreciate them even more!
Thank you so much Bobbi Jo! I agree, women do need to support each other! Thank you so much for this comment, it is so sweet to read! xTieghan
You asked for skin care product recommendations.
Last January i discovered a small mother daughter skin care spa in Santa Monica California. They make all their own products and they are magnificent. They are struggling to stay in business as are so many others.
It is called Diana Ralys skin health.
Hope you like them.
I love your site and recipes, made the beer bread yesterday and it was very beery. I am going to give my daughter a taste and see what she thinks, she loves beer and is also a huge fan.
Hi Jennifer! Thank you so much for sharing!! It is so sad to see businesses struggle during this time.. I will definitely check them out! xTieghan
I like Nursery poems. Those three precious baby Kids, how about Winken, Blinken and Nod.
Love it! Thank you Lori! xTieghan
The link for chocolate peanut butter blondes on IG goes to a sports highlight page: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17854847338920988/
Thank you Barbara! It is all fixed! xTieghan
Thank you for being you! Thank for your inspiration in food! And life! Thank you for putting all this together each week. It’s now become one of my favorite things to do on Sunday. Sorry 😐 you had to deal with some negatively on social media. There are far more good people in the world. It’s easy to get distracted with this stuff. Keep doing you and making a difference for so many. 🐶
Hi Todd! I agree, there are so many good comments, but it is hard to not focus on the criticism. Thank you so much for this comment! I hope you are staying well during this time! xTieghan
Thank you for this weeks post, and every weeks post. We have been in self isolation for so long now, I sometimes feel we should be used to it and back to operating at full capacity. Your post reminded me that this time is not normal, and all we can do is our best.
Baby goat recs: peanut, butter, and jelly ❤️
Thank you for being my digital quarantine fairy, and supporting all of us.
Thank you so much Calley! Yes, all we can do is our best! xTieghan
I also thought of Huey, Dewey, and Louie as names!
Love! Thank you Danielle! xTieghan
Goats: Manny, Moe & Jack!
Thanks for my favorite Sunday read!
Thank you Melissa! xTieghan
I so look forward to your favourites post each week. I just wanted to share that I happened to get your cookbook out of the library just before the pandemic really set in here in Canada and now they won’t let us return books. Lucky me… I’ve been cooking my way through all of your delicious recipes one by one! 🙂
I live on a farm alone and like you, looking out and seeing the animals go about their days as normal is such a good reminder that I have so much to be thankful for. I am currently sitting on my patio in the sun with a cup of coffee and am watching my barn cat hunt mice in the field, my horses snooze in the sun and my dog snoring next to me. It is such a good reminder to just be in the present, be positive, and focused on what is around us.
I hope you have a wonderful week and thank you for your wonderful post each week. 🙂
Wow yes lucky you!! I am so glad you have been enjoying my recipes Leanne!! That sounds like the perfect morning.. hopefully it gets warm here soon! xTieghan
I so look forward to your Sunday newsletter; I can’t tell you how much it means. It’s always full of wonderful items and links to interesting reads. Thank you! I like the Three Musketeers names which was already mentioned for your little goaties. Staf safe.
Hi Marjorie! I am so glad you like these posts! Thank you! xTieghan
I love how simple and flexible your recipes are! Now that we’re keeping grocery trips to a minimum, it’s great to be able to meal plan (almost exclusively your recipes) for the next few weeks without feeling married to those recipes. If I’m in the mood to deviate (or more likely you’ve just posted something new that I HAVE to try), I usually already have the ingredients on hand. Cooking is my stress relief, and I can’t thank you enough for your positivity and all of the magic you create in this space!
Goat babies: Jerry, George, and Kramer?
Hi Riley! I am really glad my recipes have been turning out so well for you! Thank you so much for trying them. Also, I hope you are staying well during this time! xTieghan
I’m new to HBH and I’m loving it! My neighbor introduced me this week!
Here are some goat name suggestions: Harold, Reggie, Leonard, Sheldon, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego but I love the Winken, Blinken, and Nod suggestion!
Welcome!! I am so glad you are enjoying it and I hope you continue to! Thank you so much Laura! xTieghan
Possible goat names
Huey, Dewy,and Louie
Snap, crackle, and Pop
Yes! Thank you Katie! xTieghan
This is all so very luscious
Thank you Linda! xTieghan
Just a note that you are wise beyond your years! I, too, have realized that with 40 around the corner, I can’t live a life where I’m more negative than positive. I don’t take criticism negatively and tend to dwell so I really commend you for how you handled that situation. I will strive to be like you and focus on the positives in life. It is indeed too short!
It really is! Thank you so much KJ! xTieghan
I look forward to your 9 Favorite Things posts every weekend! I especially love seeing the articles you pulled from around the web!
Thank you Hilary! I hope you continue to love my posts! xTieghan
Thanks for a positive outlook in. This trying time. I’m from canada and today was a very bad day for nova Scotians. 17 lives lost to a killing spree. Including an rcmp officer, a wife and mother of 2.. please continue to give hope as well as encouragement. Rx I n the form of new recipes and podcasts. First time finding your site. Thanks again
Wow I am so sorry to hear that Ann. I hope you and everyone is staying safe and healthy there. Thank you! xTieghan
name the baby goats winkyn, blinken and nod. . .as in the song.
Aw!! Thank you Meridel! xTieghan
Easy to remember … Tom, Dick and Harry
Thank you Wendy! xTieghan
how CUTE would it be to name the kids Hughey, Douey, & Louis (like “Louy”) after Donald Duck’s nephews <3 ! Or if we want spring-y vibes, perhaps a more "manly" flower type name like Narcissus, Magnus (Magnolia) & Chrysanth (Chrysanthemum) ? Love 'em all 😀
Aw cute! Thank you so much Natala! xTieghan
I love these 9 favorite thing post and save them to read during my Monday lunch break— something to look forward to on an otherwise blah day!
I also have the bad habit of bothering blemishes on my face as a nervous habit—- I recommend giving mighty patch a try!!! I buy them at target and they protect the blemish from my habit and help it go away a bit quicker.
Hope you have a great week!
Thank you so much Leticia! I am really glad you look forward to these posts! xTieghan
The first three names I thought of for baby boy goats was Simon, Theodore and Alvin. They must sing to you, right?
Love your posts and the fact that your food is TASTY. My family loves it. I see clean plate and sometimes have to try and thwart seconds so I can have leftovers for a lunch!
Haha I wish they did! I am so glad you are loving my recipes, Pamela! Thank you so much! xTieghan
Beautiful post, as always! I really enjoyed that Skinny Confidential Podcast as well!
-Madi xo | http://www.everydaywithmadirae.com
Thank you Madi! xTieghan
Goat names – Bob, Gary, Stan
Thank you Sara! xTieghan
How about the names for “The Three Musketeers”…Stretch, Stinkie, and Fatso. The 3 ghosts from the Casper Series. Or the original 3 Musketeers…Athos, Porthos, and Aramis.
Oh so cute! Thank you so much Tracie! xTieghan
I’m adding to my Sephora cart too! I have dry sensitive skin and love the Ilia foundation you linked. I also just started using Indie Lee’s Squalane Oil and it’s been great (their brightening cleanser is great too). I’m shopping around still for a c serum!
Thank you so much Jacy!! I am so glad you like those products too! xTieghan
Loving seeing your baby goats and mama goat on Instagram! Sweetest little ones 💖💖💖💖
Oscar, Perry and Bouncer. How fun to be naming three at once.
Love your flowers here too, so uplifting. Xx
Thank you so much Kelly! xTieghan
Hi! I plan to make your No-Knead Bread and Pizza Dough (https://blog.williams-sonoma.com/the-easiest-bread-recipe/) but I only have active dry yeast and not instant yeast. In order to activate the yeast – should I still use water and sugar? Or sugar and beer (that seems strange)?
Hi Sarah! Just allow the dry yeast to sit in the warm water with the honey for 10 minutes until it gets foamy and proofs. That will work great! Let me know if you have other questions. Hope you love the recipe! Thank you! xTieghan
Stay positive and yes, it’s strange that people can be like that in a Pandemic of all things! Don’t touch your face! Haha I love Pacifica makeup and skin care. It’s vegan, cruelty free (I hate the idea of animal testing) and incredible! The crazy chemicals in all those expensive products are causing your face to break out. Try it!! My skin at 55 looks amazing!
Hmm that is such a good point! I will definitely look into that one, thank you! I hope you are staying healthy and well! xTieghan
Enjoy your recipes so much and my recommendation for the goats because they have great jumps, Kobe, Shaq and Le Bron. Can you tell that I’m missing basketball ? Keep up the great work. Your inspiration has got me through “ stay at home”
Haha aw that is so cute! I am so glad you have been enjoying my blog and recipes and I hope you continue to!! Stay well! xTieghan
