Warm, breezy afternoons. Golden sunlight. Drinks and laughter.
Thai Summer Salad It’s only a matter of time before our beach vacation begins. This means that I’ve been working out like a mad-woman, drinking gallons of unsweetened iced tea, and eating as light as I can between bites of Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream and Cookie Dough Brownies . http://www.recipegirl.com/2011/07/07/thai-summer-salad/

Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwich

A guacamole grilled cheese sandwich has been on my to try list for a while now and since I was making the bacon guacamole on the weekend I figured I would just pick up double the ingredients and make both. http://www.closetcooking.com/2012/01/bacon-guacamole-grilled-cheese-sandwich.html

Bacon, Egg, and Toast Cups

I’m fairly certain that I’ve discussed my lack of love for the great outdoors , so it’s safe to say you’ll never hear me writing about long hikes in the woods or camping anywhere other than on a deck chair at a five star resort (Hey, I can dream, right?).

I used to be terrified of sloppy joes.

peach shortbread

Is there an unsaid rule that bar cookies have to be heavy and gooey? Two weeks ago, we picked up a cup of coffee on our way to the park so that the little monkey could continue his path of destruction outside our apartment, and I fell for something in the bakery case called peach shortbread, cut into bars.

Homemade Cinnamon Bread

I baked cinnamon bread last night. I thought of it.

Homemade Twix Bars
