records

my little record collection is one of my very favorite things. nothing really beats the experience of placing a vinyl record on a turntable and setting the needle on it's spinning surface. music is so wonderful and listening to records lends a magic and warmth that other audio forms just do not have.

pink cupcakes

made some gluten free strawberry cupcakes the other day. they're cute as imaginable and taste delish as well.

april indie market

i was not at the indie market this month, but my friend anna was, and it was her first time! she really is so talented and makes the cutest things, and i think she did well! unfortunately it was chilly and damp on april first this year, which i'm sure deterred some people from coming out, i hung out with anna at her table for a while, and we were freeeeeezing. so hopefully next month it will be warmer and there will be even more foot traffic!

mmm

this is the black bean burrito bowl from fishbones i tried to recreate. one of my favorite things to eat. and also, i just like taking pictures of food.

little owls

i've been making lots of these little guys lately.

and i can't stop wearing them. what could be more awesome then a cute little owl brooch pinned to a cowl scarf or a cardigan? few things, my friends, few things. i'm hoping to be at the downtown indie market in may, so if all goes well i'll be selling them there!

stuffed peppers!

i spent an afternoon this past sunday making vegetarian stuffed peppers with a friend of mine, this was her first time making stuffed peppers without meat and she was delighted to find she didn't miss it at all! they were super delicious. we stuffed the red peppers with black beans, rice, peppers, onions and of course lots of oregano and basil and a little parsley. topped with tomato sauce and cheese and baked to perfection, they were absolutely scrumptious.

spring!

it was so gorgeous today and i didn't have to work, i spent some time this afternoon outside at the park. i was pretty giddy about the weather.
