The Daily Eat: Chicken Salad with Parmesan.
I love salads. Seriously, if I had to choose only five (albeit, vague) categories of foods to eat for the rest of my life salads would be on that list. I hope you enjoy Salad Week as much as I will!
Chicken Salad with Parmesan has a little bit of everything that makes a great salad in it – some crunch, some protein and a nice medley of flavors all playing around together. I’m making this one for dinner tonight!

The Time Traveler’s Wife.
Oh my. Forgive me for a minute while I collect myself. You see my favorite book of all time – The Time Traveler’s Wife – is coming out on film August 14th. Normally when books I love become movies I’m prepared for disappointment. But this time… let’s just say the trailer alone left my stomach in knots and goosebumps on my arms…

The Kitchen Faucet Project.
Ever since moving into my house last July one of the things I couldn’t wait to replace was the shoddy old kitchen faucet. It took nearly a year, but with the help of my mom and stepdad (okay, mainly my stepdad) I can call it finished! I love the new faucet’s gooseneck shape and the pulldown hose feature. There are two buttons on it that allow you to flip back and forth between stream and spray and needless to say, well, I kind of feel like a rockstar in the kitchen now! If you like it as much as me you can check it out here. One more project done and in the books!
PS: Sorry for the bad lighting in the photos – the weather was all over the place yesterday!
