Fashion, Food, + Frivolity for Healthy, Hardworking Women
This week, my husband and I will have been together for ten years. We’ve been married for almost four years of that decade, and lived together for nine of them. It’s amazing to think how much we’ve changed since we were 22 and 24. At the same time, I see so many similarities in who we were then and now…
As a food blogger, I’ve toyed with the idea of writing a cookbook here and there. I, obviously, haven’t gone through with it, but it’s one of those things that’s never out of the cards. The experience is a daunting one for me and one that my dear friend, Lori Rice, has down now twice (3x really – I was mistaken)! As a craft beer lover and connoisseur, her cookbooks focus around ways to use the libation in your kitchen. I’ll let her tell you more about the books though…
After professing my irritation at smoothies always labeled as healthy in this lime smoothie recipe (totally a dessert), I went ahead with a melon smoothie that, I promise, is healthy! I’d feel bad about it, but then every time there’s deliciousness to share, it feel as though I’ve made up for my errant ways…
In high school and college, I really liked wearing bold, vibrant colors. It wasn’t outlandish, but I was drawn to color. But something at some point began to change. I think I can probably safely blame white tank tops. Every summer I’d find a cute white, sleeveless top. Then I’d wear it so much, I had to pass it along at the end of each summer. Somewhere in there, that love transferred to white summer dresses. . .
When I shared that plum compote recipe a few weeks ago, I talked about how plums can be almost painstakingly tart. But then you wait them out til they’re perfectly ripe and you have delectable fruit perfection on your hands. Though not quite as ‘severe,’ apricots can be too tart to enjoy before turning ripe as well. Luckily they don’t take as long. But with how tasty this apricot tart is, I may have a hard time waiting it all out…
