Acccck!
So sorry I am late. I know a lot of you don’t visit the #stoptheyuck party until today, but it does go live at 8 p.m. But, not on my website it didn’t. I am such a terrible host!
Ok, in all seriousness though yesterday started to be a crap day. Migraine hit in full force and it was taking everything I have to push through. I have medication, but I hate it. I often feel worse than if I were to just deal with the migraine. I have been getting them since I was 9, so I have gotten pretty good at dealing with them. Just about the time I got it under control, husband came home all excited because he passed round two of his boards. YAH!! He is now a full-fledged registered respiratory therapist. AND, he has a job interview in Lansing tomorrow!
Lansing, for those who do not know is the capital and it’s also home to Michigan State University. It’s a nice town. It’s been a few years since I’ve been down there, but I remember it well. I had a few cousins who went to college there and some friends that lived that way. It wasn’t on our list of places we thought we wanted to move to, but with the job market the way it is, we are at the mercy of job availability since he has such a specialized degree. It does take us about an hour away from kiddo (right now she’s about 20 minutes) so we may actually have to move to the 1/2 way mark. He also has his foot in the door to interview when openings go live at U of M hospital in Ann Arbor. That is like the creme de la creme of hospitals to work at and I know he would much rather go there. Ann Arbor, home to University of Michigan, is also a great town. Lansing has that old, antique architecture feel. Ann Arbor has that young, trendy, hip feel. I on the other hand have been looking into buying a book store up north a bit on the coast. Sooooooooo who knows where we are going to end up right now.
Anyway, it was dinner time so we went to the store to grab some groceries to make a celebration dinner. I guess with all the excitement my migraine came back and honestly, the Stop the Yuck party just slipped my mind.
I am soooooooooo sorry.
I woke up this morning with the intention of getting an early start on my day, but I actually found myself back in bed with an ice pack.

I feel a little better now. It’s still lingering. But I can manage.
So, are you ready to stop the yuck??? I know I am!

YUMS PERSONAL FAVORITE:
Christine at A Sprinkle of This and That made this wonderful Farmer’s Market Pizza. I’ve been digging on my farmers market lately and no matter how fast we eat our goodies it still seems like we have just those few items that are in desperate need of attention. I think this pizza is a perfect answer to that. I am also on the hunt for recipes that incorporate all things farmers market lately. So, this seems like a win-win for us!
CONGRATULATIONS to you ALL! If you were featured, grab an “I’ve Been Featured” button to show everyone how awesome you are! And remember, each co-host chooses her favorites, so click over to Chrystal at Yum Eating to check out her favorites for this week!
I hope you are feeling better. I love the concept of a Stop the Yuck party. Let’s definitely find ways to replace Yucks with Yums.
Thank you. I hope you found something you might want to try!

The #20. Strawberry Raspberry Shortcake in a Jar looks absolutely delicious! I think I want to switch out Raspberries for Blueberries and use it for Red, White and Blue day! ๐
That would work too! We had originally planned on using blueberries but decided to save them for something else.

Some of those treats look AMAZING! Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome! Enjoy.
I suffer from migraines as well. They can be debilitating and the only thing that works for me is an ice pack, too. Love the linky party! I just added one!
I just prefer to take care of them as natural as possible. Prescription meds never agree with me. Thank you for stopping by and linking!
Migraines are the worst. I hope you are feeling better. Thanks for sharing so many delicious looking recipes!

Cassie, I hope you’ll give one or two a try! Ugh, migraines. Been getting them since I was 9. Ewww. Such an inconvenience in life.
Ann Arbor saved my FILs life, not joke. ๐ We have a lot of faith in them, and I think it would be wonderful if your husband got in there!! I have a very good friend whose been a respt. th. for years and she still loves it. ๐ ‘grats to your husband. And I’m sorry you got down w/a headache. Been there, know that.
I understand! U of M hospital saved my little cousins life when she was rushed to the ER with a headache that turned out to be brain cancer. Many surgeries and many years later she is in remission!
Goodness! Sorry to hear that you weren’t feeling well. You did the right thing to go rest. I’m off to check out that 9. Slow Cooker Creole Pork Tenderloin…. wow!
Let me know how it turns out for you!
This looks so good, I want to make most of this!!
I hope you give a few of them a try Teresa!

Hate that you had the yucks. Replacing with yums is my idea of a great way to shew the yucks out. All that stuff looks delish!! Gosh, I love food!
Yucks suck. LOL. I feel a little better today. The show must go on!
Thanks again for the special button, Chrystal. What a treat!
I sure hope you are feeling better and have conquered that migraine. Take care.
You are welcome sweetie, you deserve it! But my co-host made the special pretty button for you ๐
Those are some amazing looking options! I am still crossing my fingers for the wooden utensils!
Thank you Carly and good luck!

Thank you Amanda! I look forward to your links!
I hope you’ll be happy with wherever you end up! I lived in Lansing at one time and it was ok, but I lived in Okemos later for a few years and absolutely loved it there.
I’m sorry you haven’t been feeling well and hope you have bounced back. I’ve been a bit under the weather myself this week.
I am sorry you have not been feeling well. I hope you are better. My migraine just doesnt want to go away.
Migraines are the worst. There are so many recipes on that linky that I want to check out!
I agree. I have this nasty one that just wont go away.
