July 2016 – Long Distance Baking
Wedding pictures are back!! Here’s a sneak peak for now. Who’s ready to go back to Stars Hollow? The new Gilmore Girls date has been set and trailer released and it looks pretty good! A few years back we both read Cold Tangerines and Bittersweet by Shauna Niequist. She quickly became one of our favorite authors and Cold Tangerines became an instant favorite! We cannot wait to read her new book Present Over Perfect! Nothing beats a good cheese plate. We’re starting our Whole 30 … [Read more…]
By now everyone knows I obsessively love peaches. Between the peach cobblers, peach muffins, peach jam…I could honestly eat all peach everything and never get tired of it. So when we stopped at an adorable farmer’s market in Tuscaloosa and they had fresh peaches (and again last weekend at one in Little Rock…seriously, farmers markets are my fav), you know I just had to buy some. By now everyone also knows my other half hates peaches. So while I could easily make a full peach dessert … [Read more…]
We’re giving up wine for the month of August. Well, actually, all sugar and alcohol (send your prayers, we’ll need them!) but apparently some days are better than others when buying wine. Who knew?! Looking forward to September already… For those days when going to the gym just seems daunting, this 7 minute workout is apparently very effective. We’ll eat any of these ice cream sandwiches. Seriously, they all look good and perfect for summer! Fun read on a two tech entrepreneurs turned … [Read more…]
If you follow us on social media, you know that we had an LDB wedding recently. Steph and Matt got married in a truly awesome, fun and wonderful wedding weekend in Boise, Idaho, the place they first met 8 years ago! But more on the wedding later… Because a month before the wedding we celebrated with a Bachelorette party New Orleans Style! One night in New Orleans and three nights in a beach house on the Mississippi Gulf made for a truly epic Bachelorette weekend. Here are some … [Read more…]
Our hearts and prayers are with Dallas this week. Another attack in France yesterday. This video, after the attack in France last year, seems very relevant today and melts our hearts. Still reeling from their own tragedy, Dallas stands in solidarity with Nice, France. Catastrophe renewed for 2 more seasons! One of the funniest (and raunchiest) comedies out there and with only 6 episodes per season, each 1/2 hour long, it’s very bingeworthy! It’s Summer wedding season which means … [Read more…]
Happy Friday! Here’s to another wonderful summer weekend ahead! The Idaho State Correctional Center has a new program for inmates that not only teaches new skills and gives back to the community…it is actually saving the state money. Bet you can’t guess what it is! Braille. A little boy lost his stuffed elephant but his parents told him that it was just traveling the world. The internet stepped up and this happened. So sweet/cool! No matter how old we get, an Eggo waffle with … [Read more…]
There’s a new ice cream shop in Sacramento called Cornflower Creamery and it’s about two blocks from my work. Guys, this is a dangerous thing. I may or may not have gone there and just ate ice cream for lunch one day… it was so worth it! (This is also why I have signed up for a boxing gym so when I get the urge to eat ice cream for lunch again, because it most definitely will happen, I won’t feel guilty about it!) You would do the same too if you’ve tried their Strawberries & Cream … [Read more…]
How can it possibly be July already?! This year is flying by! Here’s to a great holiday weekend and a FUN and SAFE 4th of July! It seems that cauliflower has become a substitute for just about everything lately… And that’s ok because these pizzas look delish! Do you get tired of the same old workout songs every time you go to the gym? Here are 6 new workout playlists, for everything from cycling to barre to dance! Pat Summitt, former head coach of the Tennessee Lady Vols, passed … [Read more…]
