Shiny

It’s absolutely gorgeous outside in San Diego today. 77F, sunny, not a cloud in the sky.

And my usual barely-have-enough-light other than from 11:17am to 12:53pm kitchen has had more then plenty today.

Everything I took a picture of was shiny and reflecting like crazy. The pears in the 50 cent wooden bowl I picked up here were like reflective globes.

The bowl was a steal.

High voltage pears not included.

I made something with these special edition shiny wrappered 3 Musketeers mini bars. These 3 Musketeers are marshmallow-filled rather than the typical nougat filling.

And now my dessert is filled with these.

What I made is delicious, but I have these shiny Caramel and Chocolate Gooey Bars (GF with Vegan adaptation) on my brain.

And I took pictures of something else that’s extremely shiny.

It’s red, it stands up, it helps mix things, and it comes in one of these boxes.

I have a big, super shiny, happy post coming up and you all are going to love it!

What’s been shiny for you lately?

A shiny day and sunny weather? Any spiffy, shiny new recipes? A shiny new outfit for spring?

  1. I have never been to San Diego but have always wanted to. its actually one of the places my husband may get stationed next!
    And I wish I had something new and shiny today…maybe I need to remedy that :)

  2. I LOVE my red Kitchenaid!!! I use it seriously almost ever day! I have a shoes giveaway on my blog today for spring- check em out if your a size 6.5!!

  3. Shiny… hmmm that’s a tough one. Can I pretend that mixer is mine? I’ve always wanted one. I don’t think there’s anything shiny in my life right now. It’s Spring in Calgary which means everything is really dirty, grey and there’s gravel everywhere all over the roads from the Winter. Yuck!

  4. Lovely pears. They are so perfect right now…been eating them by the bag.
    Can’t wait to find out what the kitchen aid is all about…have been wanting one for years…

  5. SIGH a huge part of me wants to move to California for part of the year. Would you recommend the San Diego area or somewhere else in CA?

    1. I just love it here…wouldn’t live anywhere else but you need to come out here and see for yourself :)

  6. I love seeing your beautiful outdoor pictures! This might sound silly, but I feel like my insides are shiny. I have been on a Green Smoothie a day breakfast kick and I feel amazing all morning long.

  7. My old coffeemaker bit the dust and I now have a shiny new one. A Cuisinart, same as the old one except stainless steel color instead of black.
    The coffee tastes so good now that I hate to think what was growing inside the old one that made it taste so nasty as of late. I’m committed to rinsing the new one with vinegar solution every two weeks to keep it clean.

  8. I haven’t even heard of those 3 musketeers bars yet! They sound amazing though.

    SO jealous of that weather! It’s nice here, but that’s just gorgeous :)

  9. New kitchen aid? How exciting!
    It was a beautiful day today up in Long Beach too :)
    Hmm, a little glass bin I bought at a thrift store is as shiny as it’s going to get for me right now :)

  10. Jealous of your weather, it’s raining here now! But that’s okay, we need it for the garden. ;-) And it should be nice for the weekend. Not much shine going on here lately except for wet pavement. :-P
