Hi friends! I promised I’d be back to share my guest post so here I am. I’m super excited about this one. I hope you all like it!

Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. – Psalm 55:22

I’ve struggled with anxiety before I even knew what anxiety was. I’ve always been a worrier. The only thing that has changed as I’ve grown up and gotten married is what I worry about. When I was five, I worried about making friends. When I was eleven, I worried about my grades. When I was fifteen, I worried about what all of my peers thought about me. When I was nineteen, I worried that I wouldn’t find a husband to marry. And now that I’m twenty-five, I worry that this little family that God has blessed me with will be taken away from me, or something terrible will happen to one of us.

Hi friends! I wasn’t planning on writing this post because I’m going to be sharing with you another post I wrote for a different site later on, buuuut I’m really loving both writing and reading Friday Favorite posts. So I figured I would just do both posts! 😉

Check back later on today for the link to my guest post about ways to practically cast your cares on God.

I’ve been experimenting with new recipes this week and this one was so. good. It was so healthy too. It was actually served with chicken as well, but I snapped this picture before putting the cooked chicken back into the pan because the colors just looked so pretty. The recipe can be found here. 🙂

This was the first time I cooked gnocchi and they are delicious! Especially paired with the tomatoes, they are seriously just too good.

I’ve been doing so much crocheting this week, it’s been great. This blanket that I’m working on here is almost done! I’m actually headed to Michael’s after I finish this post to buy more yarn for it. I’m going to be selling it on Etsy as soon as I get everything up and running. Don’t miss the launch date! I’d love to have you along for the journey, so follow me on my Etsy Instagram (@ashleyzincrochets). 🙂

I told ya I’ve been experimenting with different recipes this week. 😉 This one was honestly so good too. It’s a great swap for a high calorie side dish. The insides are filled with heavy cream, cheese, pepper, garlic, and a crumpled bouillon cube! So clever. This recipe can be found here.

I recapped our honeymoon this week and it made me want to hop on a plane straight to the Caribbean so badly! That’s what living in New Jersey in March will do to you though, haha. I am so ready for warmer weather and beach days!

Tommy and I are making the drive from New Jersey to Florida two weeks from today though! I can’t complain too much about the weather since I’ll be in sunny Florida soon enough. 🙂

I revamped my Pinterest account this week and I’d love it if you would follow along with me. I have created tons of fun boards that make me really excited – from Fitness Routines to Ways to Use Essential Oils. I also pin the recipes that I use throughout the week as well. I’m confident you can find something that will be useful. Leave a comment with your blog and Pinterest and I’d love to follow along with you too. 🙂

Today I’m linking up with these wonderful ladies!
