So much good food to share with you this morning!
Starting with…last night’s dinner.
Oh man. These Chicken Parmesan Burgers. They’re just…so…I don’t even have the words.
For some reason, this batch of burgers seemed much larger than the last ones, but I have no idea how that could be possible since it was the same exact ingredients.
Hey…whatever. More for me!
To round out the meal, I quickly steamed some fresh broccoli in the microwave and had that along with a few french fries that I cooked up in the oven.
Delicious.
We ate dinner a bit earlier than usual since Jay had to head out for the evening, so by the time 8:30ish rolled around, I was in need of a little dessert.
Two scoops of caramel swirl ice cream, topped wiiiiith…can you tell?

Breakfast
I was up ‘n at ‘em nice and early this morning, but I’ll be honest and say that my bed sounds SO much more appealing right now. I. need. to. go. to. bed. early. tonight. and. stay. away. from. the. Olympics.
It’s actually mornings like today where I wish that the caffeine in my morning coffee had even the tiniest effect on me…I could use a little caffeine jolt right now!
So waffles was the name of the game today…one topped with almond butter, one with peanut butter, both with banana slices, chia seeds, and cinnamon.
Both equally delicious.
This morning, I’m headed to the gym to train a client and then I’m attempting a trip to good ‘ol Target to try and find myself some new curtains for our living room window. Seriously, I think curtains has to be one of the worst things ever to have to buy. Why are they so flippin’ expensive?!?
Wish me luck!
Question for the Morning:
What are your favorite stores/websites to find stuff to decorate your home? (I need some ideas…that hopefully won’t break the bank!)

Those burgers look so good! Better than a restaurant!
My favorite place to look for home items is Home Goods. You can find so many cute items for a decent price there.

Going to have to agree with Home Goods here! It’s amazing
Good luck with the target trip today!!! That dinner looks fantastic! Going to have to check out that recipe!

Okay I think it’s time to make these burgers.
I drool every time.

I turn to Pinterest, the HGTV site, Martha Stewart online, and BHG.com for inspiration. Then I like to go to Michael’s or Home Goods to recreate the looks for less money. You can also find lots of great decorations online at Overstock.com and Etsy. Ebay is another great resource!

Those burgers look fabulous. I’m sooooo with you on the Olympics! I’ve always had pretty good luck at Pier 1 Imports.

I’m not sure what stores you have around there, but I LOVE Hobby Lobby for home decor. It’s not crazy expensive either. There’s also this other place that (I believe) is Utah local called Tai Pan. AMAZING. You have to come visit me so we can go together because you’d be in heaven.
Target and Ross are others that I look at when I’m not wanting to spend a lot.

We actually do have a Hobby Lobby but I’ve never been in it. I never realized they had home decor…then again, who knows what I thought they had
I always find that whenever I’m looking for something in particular, I can NEVER find it!!!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey recently posted..checking in
Overstock.com is my go-to website for finding great deals on household items. Usually I’ll do some initial research to find out which brands/products I’m looking to buy, then search for those on Overstock.com. My most recent purchase are my new 100% Egyptian Cotton sheets. I got them for less than $100! I love me some good deals.

Those burgers look amazing! Try overstock.com for nice curtains.

Cat cookies!!! So addictive!
I love HomeGoods and checking out thrift stores for cheap finds for my apartment. Also, flash sale sites like Rue La La and HauteLook will often have home sales! Good luck!
Katherine @ The Fit Lady Sings recently posted..A change of pace
I always drool a little bit when you blog about those burgers. I REALLY need to make them!

Hahaha, dooooooo itt!
These are yummy and very delectable foods. I can eat a lot of these.

Check Boscovs for curtains! AMAZING prices!
Ahhhh, why didn’t I think of that?!?! Haha, thanks Danielle!
Ikea has cute, cheap decorations/mirrors/rugs & you can find so much on etsy.com!
Alex @ Healthy Life Happy Wife recently posted..Playlist Thursday: Pop Music
I actually can’t tell what’s on your ice cream haha
Target usually has nice things plus hobby lobby, I’ve heard overstock.com does too but I haven’t really shopped on that site before…
We like to shop at IKEA –it’s cheap and looks good if you find the right things–but I know you already shop there!
Danica @ It’s Progression recently posted..health is a (never-ending) journey.
We just went through the same thing getting curtains for our place! Check the Target website, I was able to get a buy one get one half off coupon on there for their Home brand which made it a little more reasonable.
I always look at Target haha Love their stuff
Rachel recently posted..Pilates Cat
JCPenny actually has a good variety of curtains online. And now I want some PB and Banana waffles
Steph recently posted..Some Silliness
Homegoods or Target! I also try to buy giftcards on eBay because you can usually get them a bit cheaper than their actual value.
Lauren @ Chocolate, Cheese and Wine recently posted..The Best Cupcakes I Have Ever Had… from a cake mix.
Oooo, that’s genius!
HomeGoods! I LOVE that store and they always have a lot of really cute, inexpensive stuff there. TJ Maxx and Marshall’s sometimes do to, but it’s usually hit or miss with them. Check out HomeGoods! Their stuff is usually marked down too, so you’ll be sure to find a good deal!
I’m a huge fan of Pier 1, Hobby Lobby, Target, and Home Goods for home decor shopping. I also like to browse Etsy for eclectic items.
Those chicken burgers look delicious! I’m going to have to remember those for next week when I’m scrounging for a quick meal to make.
Allison @ Running Through Red Lights recently posted..Thursday Thoughts
Hellooooooo cats cookies!
Everything looks delicious! Hope Target goes well. I’d suggest Home Goods, too, but the prices are about the same as Target. Good luck!

Target! Although, I can even spend way too much money there if I want to…
Emily @ Perfection Isn’t Happy recently posted..Honeymoon Recap, Part 7: The Final Days
Ughh…ain’t THAT the truth!
I need to try those burgers!! I want my house to look like Pottery Barn.. but that’s totally not affordable. I like Home Goods, BedBath&Beyond, Kirklands, and Target! I HATE buying curtains. There is curtains that I want for my dining room at Lowe’s, but they are so expensive that i haven’t gotten them yet!!!
Brittany @ ReadRunRepeat recently posted..Thursday Tidbits…
Target, Home Goods, and Christmas Tree Shop! They are great products for discount prices.
Angela @ Health, Happiness, & Harmony recently posted..PB
I got my curtains from target. They are super cute and were 50 bucks. I’m not sure if thats exspensive in your opinion, but I think they were worth it! Target has a great selection. Walmart sucks dont waste your time.
krystal@coffeecardiogoddess recently posted..MIMM: Smoothie & Fro Yo Love
Compared to what I’ve been seeing, 50 bucks is a STEAL!
Home Goods or World Market! Cheaper versions of Pier 1

I go to Target most of the time! Kohl’s has some good stuff too, and you can usually find a lot of sales there

I need to try those burgers! The olympics are killing me on sleep too!
Laurie @ Love, Laugh, Laurie recently posted..August Goals
I buy all of my curtains at Boscov’s! They have great prices and are pretty well made.
OMG droool cats cookies on ice cream!!! Pure genius. I plan to sprinkle a Delta biscoff cookie on my ice cream tonight that I pilfered during my last flight

I made burgers last night too. From the bottom of my bun to the top of my bun, no lie, it was 8″ high. So good, I loved it
Your dinner looks SO good. Have you ever tried venison burgers? I had one for dinner last night and it’s hands down my favourite burger meat now!
I love Home Goods, it is def a favorite in my household. Amazon is also great, but only if you have something specific in mind. Other favorites – Kirklands, Home Decorators Collection (online), Ikea and I’ve heard awesome things about World Market too, but there aren’t any in the northeast. Next time I’m in the DC area, I most definitely plan on hitting one up!
bed bath and beyond – exp there clearance section
I love those chicken parmesan burgers, too! Thank you again for the recipe … it’s awesome!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated recently posted..BBQ Chicken (on the grill, or in the oven if you run out of propane like we did.).
I saw a great tip on Pinterest… it suggested buying SHOWER curtains somewhere like Target, then hanging them using ribbon.
