Fourth of July Sangria

Friday, June 25, 2010 in Drinks, Entertaining, Food, Fruit, Holidays

I’m kind of into the dorky over-the-top holiday themed stuff. If you were around here for Halloween goodies like Deviled Egg Eyes and Witch’s Finger Breadsticks, you know what I’m talking about. I know I’m a dork. I own it, for the most part. Sometimes I think it would be cooler to be, well, cool [...]

Salvaged Patio Cart

Wednesday, June 23, 2010 in Decorating, Home

This thing cost me $5 at a garage sale last Friday. Total shocker, right? I mean, it's in such pristine condition… I know, I know. Not. It's certainly a little worse for the wear, but it was the perfect size for our patio – where I wanted a cart or a table for drinks, BBQ [...]

Mini Cinnamon Muffins

Monday, June 21, 2010 in Breads, Breakfast, Chicks Dig It, Food, Vegetarian

Mini things are, just by their diminutive nature, super duper cute. Miniature horses. The teensy windmills in mini golf courses. Puppies. Oh my God, puppies. So cute. And, muffins. Mini muffins!

Rummy Lemonade with Peppermint Swizzle Sticks

Thursday, June 17, 2010 in Drinks, Food

I'm not a morning person. Case in point: Just a couple of minutes ago, I put some cream in a mug and poured in some nice strong coffee. My first cup of coffee for the morning. I grabbed it and meandered (okay, stumbled) over to the couch and set it down on the table… right [...]

For the Love of Pancakes

Wednesday, June 9, 2010 in Breakfast, Food, Vegetarian

Hello, my fellow breakfast lovers! Through the magic of technology, I am posting while on my honeymoon at a fancy resort on a Mexican beach. At this very moment, I’m likely sipping a drink and have finally cracked open my copy of “The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo.” Then again, I may be so distracted [...]

Blueberry-Lemon Sauce

Thursday, June 3, 2010 in Dessert, Food, Fruit, Gluten Free, Sauces, Jams, and Condiments, Vegetarian

We're getting married on a blueberry farm. This weekend. This WEEKEND! Gosh, this thing came fast. Seems like Christmas Eve was just yesterday… the day my guy got down on one knee and popped the question. I didn't say yes, though. I said "of course!" Gotta say, I'm psyched the day is here.
