Friday Favorites

November 9, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Another week gone by and I still find myself wandering to new parts of Tucson, discovering a hidden corner I want to meet. I’ve slowly begun the decorating process in our apartment, the first order of business…count the seconds until my new bed comes, so that I can really do some work in my own room.

The holiday season is among us, and it’s the happiest time of year, not to mention my favorite! I have to admit it almost doesn’t phase me that Thanksgiving is just right around the corner. I blame the scorching heat…I wonder do people who have always lived in warm weather get into the holiday spirit too? It’s easy to be cheery when you’re bundled in puffy coats and shoveling snow, but what about when you’re donning flip-flops and washing the dust off your car…hmmm it just means I’ll have to do my part to bring the East Coast seasonal time with me. Not only can I not wait to decorate, but this is serious baking time and I’ve been trying to decide on quick, hassle-free desserts to make for Thanksgiving since I’ll be getting into New Jersey pretty late the night before. I also can’t wait to experiment with some new cookie recipes for the The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap, which raises money for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer!

I couldn’t get enough of these delicious macaroons! Frogs Organic Bakery is probably by far one of my favorites. I mean you can’t expect anything less from 5 star French pastry chef, Jean-Luc Labat.

There comes a time when you need to take a break, enjoy a homemade Italian espresso and a Pistachio macaroon.

I still can’t get enough of the scenery. The Catalina Foothills are on my list of mountains and trails I want to hike.

There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of soup. When you have that urge for something warm, and you happen to have an onion, garlic, some carrots, celery, tomatoes, and other vegetables then you can do no wrong on a Sunday afternoon but to sit back and relax.

There are plenty of antique cars in the area, so happen to have this one parked next to me.

Arizona is known for its discolored terracotta pots, endless palm trees and of course their distinct cacti and shining sun…

This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chriss This Soba Tom Yum Noodle dish, inspired by @chrissyteigen recipe wouldn’t be considered traditional but it does celebrate the beautiful Thai flavors I love. I’ll take all the spice & lemongrass please🍜😋!! It’s certainly become a staple of mine, one I’ve recreated several times & I highly recommend you save in your back pocket because it will leave you craving more...& more!! 

I used to post lots of recipes on the blog ‘til weddings/events/design took center stage & hoping to do so more again. Get this recipe on the blog now!
I read something yesterday, that made me instantly I read something yesterday, that made me instantly stop & reflect..."Some people think that having Hope makes you naive, but in my mind, it's so much harder to choose Hope over being angry or frustrated..." As someone who considers herself quite a hopeful person, I've had this on my mind since. Let's not confuse Hope w. toxic positivity {in which negative feelings or hardships are pushed aside}, when there is Hope, we still acknowledge our worries, the drawbacks of life, the sadness but still know that there is good.

We've all been doing our best nearing a year into this pandemic; the lives lost, families broken, the uncertain long-term issues, jobs, livelihoods disrupted & most recently too many people to count, struggling after a natural disaster. My heart breaks & is w. all of you, but despite the darkness, what I've also seen during these trying times...is Hope & Love. Communities & strangers coming together to help one another however way they can, even when they too are struggling to get by. That right there, is Hope. Be gentle with yourself, be gentle w. those around you. We’re all doing the best we can🤍
