I made these this past weekend, spur of the moment, since we had frozen blueberries and I just got a cute silicone heart mold (on sale). My favorite baking pan has been the donut one, hands down, because I can make anything and call it a donut and it instantly becomes more awesome. Now I … Continue reading Blueberry Muffins with Walnut Pecan Crumb Topping
Questions! 1. Favorite candle scent? I really love the smell of sandalwood and sage. Sweet candles are great, but they make me crave sweets...which is not great. 2. Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate? Tea...Sophia's Tea! 3. What's the best fall memory you have? Most recently..getting married in Central Park. Before that I'd have to say starting off a new … Continue reading Sweater Weather
Since this is our first Thanksgiving in our house (and as a married couple) we're celebrating the actual day of Thanksgiving at home. I'm still not sure what we're having, but I got in a cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie mood this past week, so I bought the ingredients and planned to make them this … Continue reading Our Really Simple Pre-Thanksgiving Dinner
Thursday I tried to finish priming the hallway, but I ran out of primer. We bought more on Saturday, but the wall still looks like this. =( Friday I made cornmeal crusted okra. I searched all summer for fresh okra but couldn't find any, so I finally bought frozen. I think next year I'll try … Continue reading Ghosts and a Dead Dryer
For our one week anniversary, I made our first full meal from our Candle 79 cookbook: Nori- and Sesame-Crusted Seitan, Ginger-Seitan Dumplings, Jasmine Rice, Gingered Sugar Snap Peas, and Edamame-Mint Sauce. Well sorta... I made the edamame-mint sauce exactly as the recipe stated and to my surprise I loved it. I wasn't sure how the mint … Continue reading Cooking Through the Candle 79 Cookbook
In no particular order, this weekend... I went searching unsuccessfully for this... My twitter friend asked why I hadn't posted any full size wedding pictures, and I explained it was because my husband (yep, still sounds weird), doesn't want his picture on the Internet, so then I did this... I went to Wegman's (spent way … Continue reading Weekend in Pictures…Wegman's Adventures and Lots of Waffles
When: October 12, 2013 Where: Belvedere Castle in Central Park, NYC Reception: We had dinner after the ceremony at Candle 79, an organic, locally sourced, vegan restaurant. Elopement or formal wedding: I'm not sure when it goes from an elopement to a wedding, but the only people who knew were our parents, his brother (who officiated), … Continue reading Wedding Details
We've only been in our new house for a little over 2 months, but my breakouts have been driving me nuts. Not only are they ugly, but they are really painful too. I've never been much into a skincare regimen, usually I just wash my face in the shower, and *maybe* apply moisturizer. After doing … Continue reading Hard Water Skincare Regimen
This was a great weekend. First, I got my shipment of my face wash and started using it immediately. I also indulged in my favorite snack ever. I got my hair cut (and styled) by Erin at Mood Swings. And immediately after, got a pedicure and my eyebrows waxed. Then, I went to Giant … Continue reading My Awesome Gluttonous Weekend
