A seasonal lifestyle blog
A love letter to style, heirloom recipes, creative pursuits, motherhood, and life’s little joys through my camera lens.
Homemade Crusty French Bread Loaf
I am basking in the glow of achievement - I have just baked my first ever LOAF OF BREAD! Real, fresh, insanely crusty and delicious golden bread! I can’t get over the fact that I didn’t mess it up…I can’t get over the ease of the process, either.
Minimalist Avocado Toast
Three blog posts within a week! Well, if anything, Coronavirus certainly is improving my blog-writing tendencies. It is also making me extremely conscious of not eating too much. I am too scared to venture out to the grocery store! Takeout for us stopped a long time ago, too. So, that simply means I am thinking about snacks/meals that help me stay fuller longer, and this avocado toast is one of my go-to’s lately.
Sunday Baking: Buttermilk Biscuits
Other than the terribly frightening spread of Coronavirus, which is dominating the news and my mind, this actually was a pretty idyllic day. Over coffee and even a pot of tea, my mom and I worked together on some lesson plans for school (virtual, of course) and enjoyed some fresh-outta-the-oven buttermilk biscuits. The recipe is from The Magnolia Table.
Copycat Harvest Salad
This “Harvest Salad” is a Corner Bakery Copycat that turned out really surprisingly fantastic! When made fresh, it is the perfect crisp lunch that leaves you full-ish, but not stuffed. The fresh zing of the apple paired with the sharp blue cheese is my favorite!
Lemon & Honey Shrimp Arugula Salad
Sometimes, you have to build recipes around one ingredient. Today, that ingredient was arugula. With a fresh bag filled with arugula sitting in my fridge, I pondered how to use it with other things I already had. What I originally wanted to use it for was totally impractical - fancy crostini with goat cheese and prosciutto, or something - so I looked into arugula salads. Are they even a thing? Turn out they are. And they're perfect if you're in the mood for something light, nutritious, and peppery.
Sweet Apple Rose Tortes
The taste of apples baked in brown sugar and cinammon will always remind me of my grandmother's house, where six large apple trees lined her backyard. We'd pick good apples, throw bad ones as far away as possible, and watch for deer to come and eat them. This little batch of delightful rose-shaped tortes was so fun to make, I wanted to share some thoughts behind the process (along with the recipe).
