Let Them Eat ~Stuffed Strawberries~

Image
Strawberry cheesecake- love! Strawberry cheesecake inside out- LOVE even more!  So you would probably figure that when my eye caught this recipe (on BakeOven)  for cheesecake stuffed strawberries, I was SO excited, enough to make me do a little happy dance.   So here's what I did: I first hulled a pack of strawberries, using this making-life-easier tool I use to hull veggies, especially some squash and zucchini.   Next, I made the cheese cake stuffing, this was the recipe for the filling I found: 1 8-ounce cream cheese 2 tbsp powdered sugar 3/4 tsp vanilla extract After I mixed those, I realized there was something missing, so I added about 3 tbsp of whipped cream (cool whip is my fave), or to taste, and it made a much better difference!!  It was so scrumptious that I had a few cheater spoonfuls before I spooned them in.oops. The recipe called for covering the open end of the strawberries with graham cracker crumbs- perfect to make the che

Obsession Confession

Image
So it's not bad enough that I'm quite the Nutella addict, then Biscoff (the ultimate airplane cookie) had to make their own spread.  I saw it at the grocery store the other day and it was magic! Something else that made my day was a little tweak I got for my car- A MINI TISSUE BOX!! I like things that are mini. Yes, I am always this organized.  Please think I am this organized. bm

Coca Chic-cola

Image
A trendy stylish bottle of cool bubbly that looks even more delicious than usual! (if you couldn't tell by now, I'm addicted to diet coke, yup!)  As a generous charity project, Coca-Cola has tied in the cream of the crop designers to create upscale coke bottles.  Designers Rosella Jardini (Moschino), Donatella Versace, Angela Missoni, Alberto Ferreti, Consuelo Castiglioni, Anna Molinari (Blumarine (yay! one of my ULTIMATE favorite designers)), and Etro have put together bottle designs representing the uniqueness of each designer- and what a success!  You can tell who designed which bottle without even looking at the designers name incorporated into these fabulous designs! bm

The intricate floral details of this top are too hard to pass up! This one is my favorite- the simplicity of this pastel striped dress makes this dress just perfect for spring!

Adorable fringed top from Alice + Olivia? Yes Please! Cute and chic- I love the polka dots with the blazer, and the red pants tying them all together- perfect outfit!

Knot Your Typical Biscuit

Image
So I saw this recipe that looked unique on TastyKitchen and I was too excited to find that I had all the ingredients already (BEST FEELING)! Perfect!  So I followed their recipe: 1 can   (12 Ounces) Pillsbury® Golden Layers® Refrigerated Buttermilk Biscuits ¼ cups   Canola Oil 3 Tablespoons   Grated Parmesan Cheese ½ teaspoons   Garlic Powder 1 teaspoon   Dried Oregano 1 teaspoon   Dried Parsley Except I changed the garlic powder to fresh minced garlic, and the Canola Oil into Olive Oil (my best friend when it comes to cooking). I followed these Directions: Roll each biscuit into a 12-inch rope and tie into a knot; tuck ends under. Place 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. In a large bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; brush the warm knots with the mixture. Yield: 10 knots. I did exactly that.  But after the fourth one, an idea sprung in my head and a grabbed the shredded  mozzarella  chees

Under the Spring Break Sun

The last day of spring break is always bittersweet.  Bitter because it's over, and sweet because of all the fond memories made in it. This was spring break: St. Maarten Warm I loved the sand on this particular beach- it was more like tiny pebbles. Speaking of beaches, here are some of my favorite quotes about them: “Sponges grow in the ocean. That just 'gets' me. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be if that didn't happen.”  -Stephen Wright “The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea.”   -Isaac Denesin First time I try Ting, a popular caribbean grapefruit soda Now that I'm back:  Shocked to find sand in my hair being beach free for 3 days!   Tan One of the many things I've been addicted to is tanning.  But, due to health precautions forced upon by my own father- I've forced myself to quit the booth- *tear*.  So I took advantage of the week off and got the most sun I can possibly absorb, for I funct
