Emily Barrett 📚

@mandylawson7 @mandylawson7, My thoughts, love, and prayers! I have been completely out of the loop and off of social media apparently too long! When and how did you get engaged?! Congratulations! I did see your ring in a photo, it is absolutely gorgeous and stunning!

He’s so sweet to me ❤️

@Kristan_Higgins @Kristan_Higgins, I feel like you just announced they got married yesterday! Congratulations to Princess and her husband and you! ❤️

April 7th. Four months since my dad's passing. I'm feeling the itch to consume story, read and write again. I didn't write for 5 years when my mother and grandmother passed, not again. I have a lot on my plate. Unfortunately, not many family understand, but I'm a #writer first.

@The_Book_Queen Happy Birthday! I like that dress.

29 👑

If it weren't for family, I don't know how I would have approached all I've done to date. One of the biggest rooms is packed because of the help of one of my sisters! I'll have more than I will need for a kitchen. Packing up the house I shared with my dad. Getting through it ❤️

@CooksUpAStory @CooksUpAStory, Make that two, please! Mrs. Crocker has great taste, look how colorful and pretty that is! I would gobble that up. I hope she enjoyed it!

Wife wants a salad. Wife gets a salad. Baby greens, fig goat cheese, sliced sweet pickled beets, grilled pork, sunflower seeds and papitas, balsamic dressing.

@mandylawson7 Feel better!

Doc says my lungs are basically still fighting off Covid. There is swelling around my lungs which is causing me to have restricted breathing. So…he gave me some steroids and hopefully will feel better soon. 🤷🏼‍♀️

@sassypants81 This is perhaps my absolute favorite one you have probably ever made!

@mandylawson7 One step ahead of me! I don't use fresh lime when I make key lime, I just use the Nellie and Joe's.

Cooking adventures with the boyfriend

@jdiannedotson @garethlpowell That's my favorite picture of the two of you yet! Happy birthday!

@Ethan_Edwards26 @Ethan_Edwards26, I had breakfast tonight for dinner too! I didn't even think of pancakes! I had waffles and tater tots. I have ingredients for pancakes though.

It’s a “pancakes for dinner” kind of night.😋🥞 #dinner #pancakes #dinnertime #Food #SundayDinner

@mandylawson7 I have no idea when I will try making them, but I do love a good biscuit. It's just a guess, if you met him online, did you meet on Plenty of Fish?

@Emily_Barrett3 ❤️❤️❤️ yay! Let me know how they turn out

What causes this???? I look like a freak

@mandylawson7 Eh, I don't know. I'm not surprised you met online though, I think most people meet that way nowadays. I'm really excited to try the biscuits! I'm sure they'll get my southern root approval!

@Emily_Barrett3 Dating is just…it’s just hard The biscuits are so good!

@mandylawson7 @mandylawson7, 😂 I can agree though I've been single longer than I care to admit. I think if I ever tried a dating website at all, I think I know which one it would be.

@mandylawson7 @mandylawson7, Ah! That's where most meet nowadays, I feel like I'm a bit too chicken, but maybe I won't be someday. I feel like if I wanted to do that though, I don't want to have to pay for a dating website especially if it happened to not work. Biscuit recipe printed!

@Emily_Barrett3 sallysbakingaddiction.com/flaky-buttermi… I met him online :)

@mandylawson7 @mandylawson7, I hope you feel better! Question completely off topic, well, two, do you have a recipe for the biscuits you made? Also, feel free to not answer this, but I'm curious, where did you meet your boyfriend now that we know about him? ❤️

@Emily_Barrett3 Yeah…it doesn’t hurt. It just looks gross

@sassypants81 @sassypants81, 😲 Have you done that many in one sitting before? All absolutely stunning. I think my favorite is I think the one next to the oreo cheesecake!

@dcwrighthammer2 The food photos are back!

Dinner.

@mandylawson7 Harry Potter bookends for a Harry Potter collection? Glad to see you happy and that's very nice of him! I haven't even read Harry Potter, yes, I'm one of those, but I'd probably have those because they look like decent, heavy-duty, nice bookends!

The bestest boyfriend around got me the most amazing bookends!
