I ultimately settled on this Spanish oil pitcher in, stainless steel from Schoolhouse. I could not be happier. While $46 may seem high, it’s sleek, protects the oil from heat and light, pours gracefully and holds a huge bottle of oil (it’s very deceiving). I think what I love the most about it is that the pour is so smooth. Use a lot or just a drop you have perfect control and no bubbles.
I know there are many of us out there – lightly tinted lip tint, lip butter, lip balm fanatics. Something easy and light to keep my lips moist with a pop of color.
I was never a watch person. I sometimes noticed other people’s watches. My sister had a black Pulsar (type) in the 80’s and it was sporty and cool, but not my style. I had a simple Timex with a long rectangular face, roman numerals and a faux alligator skin band. I thought it was classic.
It was always my favorite dessert at my Grandma Schmidlkofer’s. When she asked me what I wanted for my birthday dessert, undoubtedly, it would be her amazing Cherry Tarts.
One of the big adjustments for me was figuring out a way to comfortably work at my home desk and to ensure that I was fully prepared for the endless Zoom video meetings that ensued.
Last summer, I decided to begin canning my own foods. Not only was it a ton of fun, but I had amazing little homemade gifts to share through the year with friends and family. One yummy recipe I want to share is Peach, Lavender and Blueberry Preserves.
Consider more road trips or regional getaways to really get to know your country and seasons. Door County, Wisconsin sits on the finger of the state of Wisconsin. Loaded with Scandinavian character, night skies so dark you can see the Big Dipper with ease, crystal blue Lake Michigan water and endless outdoor trails and parks, plan a visit.
I want to take you on a short journey to some of the most beautiful countryside in the world. The place is the Loire Valley and the regional wine is one of the tastiest white wines out there, Sancerre. Aptly named after the medieval town that sits atop a hill looking down on the Loire River Valley.
I have been looking for cute summer bracelets for a while. When I spotted this evil eye bracelet on Instagram, trolling for greek style finds, it became a must have.
I love cooking salmon on the grill and the cedar planks make it so easy. This recipe is from a blogger I regularly follow, Once Upon a Chef. Her recipes are easy and simple and just delicious.
