Hey Sara! I just found your blog from Carrots and Cake...I'm not a Georgia girl but I'm reppin' the Southeast too as a Floridian! I love that you work in science all day - I'm a writer but I deal with mostly medical writing, so I feel ya on the brain drain that comes from 8+ hours of intense sciencey/health research! I can't wait to read more of your blog (and try out that maple mustard marinade - YUM!)
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm a vegetarian but that chicken looks so yummy it's making me rethink it all! And the pancake, delishhhhh!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a tasty week-end for sure :)
