  I had the most amazing appetizer at a restaurant recently and rushed home to recreate it! These ultra crispy brussel sprouts are topped with toasted almonds and lemon zest, while served with a mildly sweet, creamy, lemony, garlic sauce that absolutely MAKE the dish.  This is a great appetizer but also perfect for a […]

I just realized I never FORMALLY announced my new business on my blog. Back in July, I casually mentioned on social media that I was starting a cookie business. That was such a mild way of putting what we have actually created with The Cookie Society. Yes, we sell cookies but they aren’t just any […]

These are the questions you all asked this month! Q: I want to know about your hair! Products, method, etc. I wouldn’t say I really have a method. As far as products, I am a big fan of Deva Curl. It works for me. I also like Hemps shampoo and ECO Styler gel. I have a […]

Peaches and Cream. I actually prefer peaches and ice cream, but the next best thing is definitely a big ol’ bowl of this peaches and cream oatmeal. The peaches pretty much melt into the sweet, creamy oatmeal and the drizzle of milk at the end make it almost decadent.

Wedding Weekend #2. This holiday weekend, we stayed in Kansas City and attended a gorgeous ceremony in a barn, yes a real barn. It was located on the bride’s property and they did an incredible job transforming it into something straight out of all those wedding magazines I have been obsessing over. There were tears, lace, cowboy […]

Last weekend, we made the trip out to Quincy, Illinois to celebrate the marriage of Jack and Lauren Cornell. We get to this quaint town and realized we were in for a big party.
