I spent the cold and blustery snow day indoors, baking from my thrift store find, the 1975 Better Homes and Gardens "Homemade Cookies Cook Book". Something inspired me to make a prety little video instead of just doing the usual endless step by step process photos, so here it is. A lil 4'ish minute long how-to video to...
I feel like I have been on the eternal search for a camera bag. Especially now that I have weddings to capture about 3-4 times a month all year round, I really NEEDED the perfect bag. If you haven't looked around my blog enough, you can check out the wedding cinema I do *here*! I've had the big...
This morning I made some simple pancakes and added nutmeg and cinnamon. I sandwiched them up with layers of butter and pumpkin butter, and served them with two crunchy bacons that I cooked on our good ol' george forman grill. (My favorite way to make bacon, when we are too impatient to cook it in the oven!) Then...
I've always been a big fan of zucchini bread, so I have no idea why I waited this long to make some! Now this recipe is good, but I think I need to track down the family recipe... I can't remember if it was my aunt or my grandma who made it, but I need to get it!...
I have been falling in love with the sprinkling of photos or realistic illustrations I have been seeing on clothing lately. I want to see more and more and I think it would be pretty darn awesome to have my own photo or two printed on dresses! Seriously, could this picture perfect trend be any better?! Photo and...
Went to find a glass bowl for a dessert, ended up thrifting all these treats! When did strawberries get so huge?! thanks for the inspiration, Paula Deen! Pinterest reminded me we used to make these burger coookies all the time when I was little! Andrea's niece is a Dance Recital Princess! How was your holiday weekend? :) ...
Just wanted to take a minute to say I'm a red head again! I can never stay away for too long. I'm always hopping back and forth between various blondes and various reds. Lucky for me my hairdresser is a master highlight artist and easily turns red into blonde whenever I want! For now though, I think this...
Growing up, did you have that one celebrity that influenced your "look" up until this very moment? Maybe it was two celebs. Or three. I sure do, and it's kind of funny. Enter first inspiration: Shakira. When I first saw her "Whenever, Wherever" video, black eyeliner became a staple in my life. I also decided that a perm...
Now before I get into my window shopping, I wanna talk about something exciting! I love using blogger very much, so turning a blog that I have long ago emptied, into something that looks like a website for my photography is great! I was using tumblr as a "website" but found that embedding videos or issuu documents just...
Something about baking makes me so happy. Probably because sharing is one of my all time favorite things and what better thing to share than baked treats? (Some far away friends should be expecting a package soon!) I saved two for The Beard and I, and of course I ate the ugly cracked one as soon as I...
Savory cupcakes have been captivating me lately and I just want to make more and more. I was telling my bff Andrea from Ain't That The Berries about an Italian cupcake idea I wanted to work on. We joined forces, bounced ideas back and forth, and these lil babies were born. is there anything better than fresh mozzarella?!...
Sometimes my lack of ingredients make for the best treats. I really wanted a sweet breakfast today, but alas... no syrup. BUT WAIT! I have a very sad 3oz of cream cheese sitting miserably in its foil wrapper? I have some blackberry jam? Stuffed french toast it is. so good, so good, so good Sometimes its fun to...
This is one of The Beard's most requested dinners for me to make. I always forget how easy and tasty they are... Plus I made them for around $12 and with just the two of us, we have leftovers for a couple days. I always post pictures of these on Facebook and pals have asked for the recipe...
Ew gross, right? WRONG. These are savory little jerks and not one thing about them is sweet. Unless you mean "sweet" like "awesome". savory and spicy perfection Introducing: Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread Cupcakes with Popcorn Chicken on top I was inspired to makes these from a crazy version our friend Anna Marie posted on the Beard's facebook...
