photo OP: 'tis the SEASON

RER 12.19.15
Warning: This post is photo heavy! 

Time has moved as fast as light. With a blink of an eye and a tremendous amount of blood, sweat and tears, the first quarter at school was over.  Blink—Thanksgiving. Blink, blink—the week before winter break. Finally, after kicking and screaming, winter break.  And now, it’s already Christmas Eve.  Where has the time gone?

We’ve baked cookies: a double batch of sugar cookies, chocolate crinkle cookies, walnut cookies, almond cookies, cranberry oat bars.  Even at the moment, zucchini loaves are in the oven, chocolate cake batter is next in line, and a gingerbread layer cake is coming into fruition.

photo OP: SUNDAY dinner


RER 7.5.15
Although unpleasant, heartburn can be the residue of lovely things. I know that sounds nuts, but it’s true. That burning, tingling feeling like some monster is trapped and clawing at your throat is a reminder of the delicious night you had before. This time, it is a memorial of too much red wine and pepperoni, too much dancing and laughing with my cousin and sister during a good old Sunday dinner.

We shredded a thick zucchini and combined all our favorite mix-ins to create our morning breakfast treat—zucchini bread.

We doctored up some Yellow Tail Sangria to our liking with soaked bright citrus and tangy green apple, and topped it all off with crisp ginger ale.

We diced up some fresh white onion and sliced a vibrant orange pepper, plopped on some creamy ricotta and layered our pizzas high with spicy pepperoni.

We threw together some Bisquick, brown sugar and cinnamon for shortbreads topped with sweet canned peaches and too much vanilla ice cream.

We sipped and stirred, sliced and baked, chatted and belted our hearts out. It was a perfect end to the holiday weekend and the best way to start off what needs to be a productive week. Despite all of this, heartburn should not be an indicator of happiness.
