So, I think y’all know that I’m semi-obsessed with this fruit salad with mint sugar. But it’s nice to switch things up occasionally, and for the Fourth of July I wanted something without added sugar, since we were going to have dessert (and since fruit has natural sugar anyway). What I think you’ll love about […]
I’m not big on coffee (unless it’s mixed with a lot of sugar and milk), but I have been drinking tea since I was a little girl. And, like other “Alice in Wonderland” fans, anglophiles and little girls at heart, I love a good tea party. So, when my friend Kelly asked if I wanted […]
I love watermelon, but every time I buy it I get a little overwhelmed by how much of it there is. So, I figured I’d turn some of it into a margarita. Of course. You don’t need a ton of limes for this. I actually put too much lime juice in the first time I […]
The Fourth of July is all about grilled meat and watermelon and cold beer… but you still need something to eat for breakfast. Hence, cherry-blueberry muffins. And I even lightened them up a bit by using nonfat Greek yogurt in place of some of the butter. Don’t worry, though. You can use all butter if […]
Our friend Travis is a serious griller. Not only do he and his wife Heather make several gallons of chili every fall weekend for Navy game tailgates, Travis still always makes sure to bring beef or pork (often rubbed with the awesome coffee his brother makes, and accompanied by some kind of homemade sauce), hamburgers, […]
I’m sorry I haven’t done Fab Fave Friday for a while, but, in keeping with my Fourth of July theme, I thought I’d share some of the red, white and blue items I’m coveting for summer! Clockwise(ish) from the top left: Polka-dot dress: Anthropologie. How cute is that little cutout in the front? Blue suede shoes: […]
It’s almost of the Fourth of July, so for the next few days I’m going to try to focus on foods that would be perfect for your holiday cookout or get-together. Today: Pie. Because what’s more American than fruit pie? Though many of you might guess that I favor cake or cookies, pie is actually […]
I have a navy-and-white stripes problem. It’s major. My friend Joan apparently has the same problem. But the best thing about it? When we were shopping and she told me that she can’t stop buying navy-and-white striped shirts… I was holding a navy-and-white-striped shirt. Obviously. Anyway. I meant to buy a navy-and-white-striped cotton jacket at […]
I love macaroni and cheese. Any kind of macaroni and cheese. Well, maybe not that dusty-tasting kind from fast food-type restaurants (I’m looking at you, Boston Market), but any other kind. Frozen, from a blue box, whatever. But I think this is the best traditional (read: no weird ingredients) macaroni and cheese ever. Seriously. Now, […]
