  1. I am covered in bug bites!!

    I had today off, and the rest of July and August … but I did start a class today. It is only a 3 week class, so it shouldn’t be too bad, but it interrupts my day which is a bit annoying.

  2. Hello everything sounds so amazing !,,,,,I would love you to come here and cook for me on my birthday 8 of augost ….all your salads look amazing and your desserts even more….if you want to cone to Venezuela you are more than welcome to stay with us
    Thank you and please help me out my doctor believes I sholud become vegetarian or vegan …how o I change. As well I am afraid because I have heard about of children that had died for having vegan momies and not having enough nutrients .as well people say that I am going to be in a bad mood all the time . I am capable of saying that I am sick and I need to have just veggies or the sake of making the change

  3. I’ve had a great day. Amazing– considering the fact that I’ve just moved to a new home three days ago. One of my dad’s new coworkers has invited us to a little party for fourth of July– I’m taking a dessert, too– Chocolate-covered frozen bananas (on a stick) covered in peanuts with a sprinkle of sea salt. Yum! I probably need to console myself about living in a new place– the stress can really get to me!

  4. :( I’m in Canada, so it was back to work for me this morning! But, everyone in my department is headed to a movie in the afternoon! So I guess it’s not THAT bad of a day. Enjoy :)

  5. Happy Fourth, Averie!! Today I’m just kind of hanging out. It’s been the theme of the whole weekend! Last night I went out and had a lot of fun, and today I’m just catching up with some friends. And maybe baking for my big brother, who’s birthday is today!

    Also, just got caught up on a ton of your old posts (been bad about commenting lately), and the clafoutis looks AMAZING. I’ve never made it but I love it!

    1. thanks for the clafoutis compliments and being you are so familiar w/ french foods, that’s high praise from you. and please make it. seriously girl the batter takes 5 mins to whip up, pour it over the fruit, bake, done. impress the family :)

  6. Cute post, lots of treat inspiration.

    At the moment we have nothing planned today, maybe fireworks later. I am off work and it’s lovely. :-)

  7. I will be consoling myself with homemade artisan bread and cookie dough bites later, after an eleven hour work day… But it does look like it’s going to be a beautiful day! :)
