Friday nights in mean two things: movies & yoga pants. It’s a scientific certainty. Movies & yoga pants are every emerging adult female’s most adored things. Throw in some wine and our heads might explode.

When hunkering down for a quiet weekend night, I like to wrap myself in coziness. Warm food = coziness. Even though it’s 835 degrees outside, I crave warmth.

I’ve made these puppies before and they have yet to disappoint. So easy & delicious. Even the weirdest of taste buds enjoy.

They are filling and warm without leaving you wanting to pop your stomach with a needle. (Am I the only one that ever feels this way…?)

Time to pour a glass of wine & turn on Pitch Perfect.
