the green drink.

I've fallen in love with green drinks.  I've made some really really delicious ones, and I've also made some really gross ones.  Today I tried a recipe from italktofood.  She calls it the Banana Bread Green Monster.  It called for almond flour, which I needed to get, as I had never even heard of it.  It was definitely different from any other green drink I've made, but I liked it.  Yay for green!

inspiration for the weekend - a banana.

Each weekend right here on this blog I plan to gain some inspiration from all kinds of different food, straight from my own kitchen.  This weekend, it's a banana.  As cheesy as it may sound (and after a little bit of thought), here's how I plan to let this banana inspire me for the weekend. 

1. Smile more, smile a lot.

2. Don't be afraid to show my imperfections - perhaps no makeup?  (Mascara doesn't count!)

3. Wear something yellow.

4. Make a breakfast banana smoothie.

5. Gather 3 recipes from people I admire that call for bananas.  

In the words of Rachel Zoe, "that's bananas."

This morning I made chocolate chip cookies.  This afternoon, we're eating them all.

That's efficient.

I found this jacket in Vegas last time TT and I were there and fell in love with it, and snatched it up.  It was fun to find this unique piece on one of my favorite fashion blogs.

february.

february.  i can't help but fall in love with all of the heart shaped candies and sweaters, warm home decor, baking heart shaped treats, cooking the perfect meal for two, and maybe these for dessert (so cute),  and mostly showing my love to those i love.  also, i'm going to throw this outfit in there, just because i would love to have it.

right now i love these fresh roses currently blooming on our kitchen counter! happy february!
