Oh. Oh my.
Quick Raspberry Charlottes are easy enough to make for a late night treat and elegant enough to put together and serve to friends.
It must be time for lunch because I think I’m drooling a little…

Who doesn’t love a good bar? And by that I of course mean the dessert kind, not the type with an OPEN sign lit up in the window. (Although I love those, too.) These Black Raspberry Meringue Bars look like guaranteed showstoppers!

I’m really jazzed about this week’s giveaway from CSN Lighting! I can hardly stand it because one of you have the chance to win this insanely awesome post-modern George Kovacs Grid Pendant.
For nearly half a century, George Kovacs’ name has been synonymous with 20th century contemporary lighting design. His skill resided in his ability to fuse clean, beautiful lines with abstract form, creating unique products that were both modern and classic. George Kovacs was the innovator responsible for the birth of this unique style, a style that changed the course of industrial lighting design in America.
For many years, George Kovacs designed and manufactured his products from his own Brooklyn-based facility but in 2000 he sold his studio, designs and naming rights to lighting manufacturer the Minka Group. He was truly a legend whose work stands as a testament to his genius; his ceiling lights, table lamps, and floor lamps are all timeless pieces that remain true inspiration to contemporary designers.
To Enter:
1. Tell me what area of your home needs a little light brought into it
2. Leave a valid email address where you can be contacted (those who do not will be disqualified)
3. Do it all before Monday, July 13th at noon CST
Good luck! And take a look around CSN’s site because they have a huge selection… I’m eyeing this and this!
Posted In house and home, win itI’ve never tried pairing pesto with something sweet like in this Pesto Mango Pita, but it’s looks amazing and now I’m dying to try it out.
1. Pasta Salad with Pepita Spinach PestoThat’s right folks, I’m bringing out the big guns this week with a Long Island Iced Tea. Not to be taken lightly, this cocktail is actually a combination of count ’em five different spirits! Lucky for us there’s that refreshing splash of cola at the end to top it all off, making for a dangerously tasty cocktail.
Ingredients:
– .5 shots of Tequila
– .5 shots of Light Rum
– .5 shots of Vodka
– .5 shots of Gin
– .5 shots of Triple Sec
– 1 shot of Lime Juice
– top off with Cola
Add the first six ingredients to the shaker with lots of ice, shake thoroughly, strain over more ice and top up with Cola. Serve in a Collins glass and garnish with a lime wedge. Serves 1.
Here are ten recipes that are guaranteed to get you an empty dish to take home at the end of your 4th of July bash!
What are you planning on making this weekend?
Me? I think I’m being drawn towards the last recipe listed here.
Pesto Parmesan Scones look like a tasty break from sweet breakfast treats. I’d love to sit back with one of these, fresh from the oven, and a hot cup of tea!

As if their incredible aluminum bottles weren’t enough, SIGG now offers these too good to be true Snack Boxes. Made out of the same aluminum as the bottles, the rubber seal and snap locks on these sardine-like containers keep everything fresh and leak free. Personally, I’d like to put them to work in my studio for storing small odds and ends!
I’ve tried pesto on lots of things, but never pizza. And pizza seems sort of a like a no brainer match. Now my stomach is straight up growling at the sight of this Beachy Green Pesto Pizza!

I’m nowhere close to having a baby, but sometimes a girl just sees something that can make her ovaries ache the slightest bit. Like these hip and cool onesies from Reckon.
