Hi [Name],

Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my plants while I was away! It was such a relief knowing they were in safe hands, and they look incredibly happy and healthy.

Please accept this small gift as a token of my appreciation. I’m so lucky to have you as a neighbor!

Warmly,

[Your Name]

APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate. It is the total, true cost of borrowing money for one year, expressed as a percentage.

While a regular interest rate only covers the cost of the money you borrow, the APR includes that interest plus any mandatory fees the lender charges.

Example: Imagine you borrow $1,000 for one year.

• The bank charges 10% interest ($100).
• They also charge a $50 setup fee.

In total, you are paying $150 to borrow that money. Therefore, your APR is 15%, even though your interest rate was only 10%. APR helps you compare the real, all-in cost of different loans.

Lemon Chicken & Spinach Rice

1. Cook Rice: Cook 1 cup of rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
2. Sear Chicken: Season two chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and grated lemon zest. Sear in a hot, oiled skillet for 5–7 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove and slice.
3. Sauté Spinach: In the same skillet, add the spinach and a splash of water. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until wilted.
4. Assemble & Serve: Stir the wilted spinach and the juice of half the lemon into the warm rice. Top with the sliced chicken and serve with remaining lemon wedges.
