Tzadziki is a Greek dish that wears many hats as a dip, appetizer and salad. Which is a very good thing because it’s easy to make and perfect for hot summer days. Try serving it up with some pita bread and feta for an easy summer meal. (Pssst… it’s pretty low in calories, too!)

Sorry, I couldn’t help it. Because even after living in Oklahoma on and off for the past ten years I’m still just a PA girl at heart! I might just need this necklace to say it on a daily basis. (Just in case you’re not a fan of the Keystone State, others are available as well…)

Yes please. I would gladly climb into this pimped out hammock with a book, a blanket and some tea. I’m loving the idea of complete outdoor rooms these days. My miniscule backyard is about to be fenced in for some privacy and I’m scheming all sorts of ways to make it an extension of my home.

Posted In house and homeHop on over to Layers of Meaning to see the second week of the 2nd Edition of Maria Fe’s Through Her Eye’s series. This week it’s all about favorite childhood stories and photos. I actually asked my mom to send me one of her favorite pictures of me as a kiddo and this is what I got. I’ve always been the victim of some wicked bedhead!
