There’s no denying I have quite a love for making pie, and well enjoying it too, especially at a summer outdoor gathering. I first became inspired for this pie when I picked up fresh juicy cherries at the market, and combined them with berries and oats for a late-night treat. One of the best parts…
Green Bean Salad with Oats and Avocado
When we think of 4th of July and the perfect side salad for a barbecue, we automatically think of potato, pasta, caesar, or coleslaw. Salads I usually stay clear from because they’re just too heavy for me on a hot and muggy day. I miss the crisp taste from the green beans my grandmother would bring…
Grilled Romaine Salad with Cucumber Radish Salad and Cajun Spiced Cod
Summer brings us all outdoors around the grill, making steaks or salmon, summer squash and corn on the cob. I’ve mentioned it before how 4th of July is all about the barbecue, so when I stumbled upon this recipe, it dawned on me how I haven’t thought about it sooner. I mean anything cooked on…
Summer Jamming
I’ve said it before but I live my life through music. It can take you to a happy place, bring back joyous and sad memories, it can make you want to dance the night away or run a 5k, or you might just simply want to relax on a hammock or sandy shores, allowing the…
I’m Loving…
Happy May Day! May Day is a celebration of Spring and with that I decided to share the things I’m Loving this season… Ever since my Spotify recommended “Home” by Austra, I’ve been hooked to this Canadian electronic music band and their upbeat, yet laid back sound. The Dove Real Beauty Sketches video, featured on The Everygirl, made me…
Happy Lover’s Day!
Oh Valentine’s Day…the day for lovers and non lovers, the singles and couples, and for those who just can’t quite explain it, a day to just be bitter. I don’t typically favor this day, no I’m not a Valentine’s Day hater, just haven’t really gotten into the spirit of it…I guess I can enjoy it…
Saying Goodbye to 2012 and Hello to 2013!
First off, Happy New Year! It’s been quite some time since I’ve written. The holidays can be hectic but worthwhile, which is why I took complete advantage of the cheerful spirit and mini vacation, to say the least. Christmas not only had delicious, mouth-watering food, but it had smiles, love and happiness from my family…
Friday Favorites {Christmas Dreaming}
I’m currently watching The National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, one of my dad’s all time favorites, and I’m wondering where my motivation and inspiration to write has been. The reality is, I’ve checked out…not in a bad way. More like a 5 year old little girl lost in a Christmas dream of fa la la la-ing,…
A Silver & Gold Holiday
I finally put together our Christmas centerpiece! The roommate and I have a thing for silver and gold, so we decided to make it a metallic holiday. I wanted to create something that was rustic, yet elegant and of course affordable. I instantly became inspired by the few items lying around our kitchen and leftover…
Holiday Inspiration {Gift Wrapping}
Now that the tree has been put up, and the apartment has been trimmed {how to post soon to come} and most of my Christmas gifts already bought, it’s time to get inspired with some gift wrapping ideas. I’ve put some extra thought into the gifts I got my loved ones this year, and it’s…
