Sweet Stops: Ruby Snap

These posts may become one of my very favorites here on the blog. An excuse to travel around the city and eat my favorite sweets and desserts…? What’s not to love about that?! If you’ve been following along for a bit, you’ll know that I’ve started a new series on the blog titled “Sweet Stops”,…

Caramel Ice Cream Baked Apples

I know I’ve mentioned it many times already, but this week officially kicks off my favorite month of the year by far. OCTOBER! Time to usher in the ghosts, ghouls, pumpkins, candy corn, and caramel apples. Let’s take a moment to talk about caramel. First off, I realize that I might have a different view…

Homemade Apple Cider

Today is the first day of Fall and I couldn’t be more thrilled! It’s definitely my favorite season by far. Crisp evenings, crunchy leaves, pumpkin flavored everything, and Halloween! One of the things I missed out on last year, was picking fresh apples at an orchard. It was on my bucket list for the season, but…

Salt and Vinegar French Fries

I’m definitely a sugar girl through and through, but there is one kind of salt that I can get down with. French fries. There’s just something about deep fried potato wedges that speak to my inner food obsessed self. And potatoes are a vegetable, so that’s good, right? They’re pretty much one of the 5…

DIY Fresh Floral Cake Topper

One of my very favorite things is cake. Homemade or store bought, I’m not picky. I might have even been known to take a trip to the local grocery store to buy myself my very own cake. For no reason. This may have happened on multiple occasions too. (No, I don’t eat the whole cake.…

We’re back to another Monday morning, but it was a really fun weekend for me. Did you guys have any fun plans? I didn’t do much, but football officially started this week and I couldn’t be more thrilled. (Go Ravens!) I really got into the game a few years ago, and just love the time…

Dr. Pepper Soda Floats

Dr. Pepper is my jam. We have a love/hate relationship, becauce I try to stay away from soda as much as I can (who drinks water?!), but I always find myself running back to this staple in my liquid repitoire. There’s just something about it. Most people’s soda vice (including my husband’s) is Diet Coke,…

Fried Chicken and Pumpkin Waffle Tacos

It’s officially the beginning of another work week. I’m never going to complain about a long holiday weekend, but this one seemed unusually short. It felt like any other regular old two day weekend to me. The older I get, the faster time passes by, and it doesn’t make any difference if it’s a two…

DIY Beyonce Drink Koozies

I think we can all thank Beyonce for a few things…booty shaking (and all that jelly), feminism to the utmost power, that little cutie patootie Blue Ivy, and, of course, all of those awesome song lyrics that we can’t stop repeating or hashtagging or posting on pretty much everything. So, as expected, I had to…

Nautical Tablescape

There’s just something about navy, white, and natural elements that make me yearn for the ocean. Add some sand between my toes and a salty breeze and I’m a happy girl. I might not have a beach close by, but that sure didn’t stop me from tapping into my nautical side to create today’s tablescape…
