Refreshing Summer Salad

While temps haven’t been quite as warm here in NYC as they seem to be for our family and friends back in KY, we have still been looking for ways to cook “cooler” sides for our meals as we inch toward summer. Last night, we tried a recipe for a Radish Cucumber Salad. It was so refreshing and something different to mix up our veggie sides.

Memorial Day Deals

I’m so excited to share that I’m now on LikeToKnowIt! Since there are so many great deals happening this weekend in celebration of Memorial Day, I thought a quick roundup of a few items I’ve been eyeing would make a great post to announce this new chapter for the blog!! From my favorite jeans to a vacuum cleaner, I’ve pulled together some of the sales I’ve been watching this weekend below.

Brunch Diaries: Shrimp and Grits

Another Sunday of social distancing means another brunch at home! I may be from the South (people can say all they want about Kentucky being the mid-west, but clearly they’ve never been to Kansas [aka the true mid-west in my book, also my birthplace] or like Missouri… I digress) but I somehow relocated to the north before ever trying grits! I know, shocking, right??

Gluten Free Stroganoff

Stroganoff was my favorite type of Hamburger Helper growing up. So when I went gluten free in 2015, I was excited to come across this amazing gluten free alternative! It tastes pretty spot on, I would imagine the only difference from the real stroganoff maybe being the texture of the noodles!

Our Wedding Decor Turned Dining Area

Our wedding backdrop is now our apartment decor! We re-purposed our DIY boxwood wall wedding backdrop and custom neon sign to help differentiate our dining area from our living area in our tiny NYC apartment.

Patriotic Fruit Tray

Darrell LOVES fruit. At his old house in Lexington, he actually had a very large piece of wall art with different types of fruit all over it, haha! While we won’t be gathering with friends or family to celebrate the holiday weekend, I thought a cute fruit tray would still be fun to put together for us two. I can’t claim this idea as my own because it’s all over different websites but I did find a way to make this easy favorite gluten free!
