Perfect Rainy Day Food


What could be better than chocolate chip cookies and a yummy coffee with almond milk and honey? 

It's the only way to pass the time on a rainy day ;)

Suitcase Side Table

In December, I wrote a post about all of the fun vintage things I found at my grandpa's house.


After a small amount of time in storage, I have finished cleaning up the suitcases and made a great table out of them.




I left the taped F on the suitcase because it makes me think of my grandma toting them through an airport. Don't you just wonder what places these suitcases have seen? :) 


I topped the stack with a breakfast tray to make it a suitable flat top surface for decor and my coffee mug!


Pretty vases finished it off nicely!

To make your own check out garage sales, thrift stores and flea markets!

Bite-Sized Apple Pies

What screams summer more than apple pie?! That's right, Nothing! These are a perfect little summer treat as they are bite sized so you don't feel like you have to have a whole big piece. 


Yum.

Bonus: They are super easy.


These are the only two ingredients I used. Of course, you can substitute homemade pic crust and filling with just a tad more effort.

Simple Salad Recipe

I just made this salad for lunch. It is a super simple but absolutely delicious and satisfying one!


Doesn't it just LOOK amazing!?

It is romaine, spinach (feel free to substitute kale!), tomatoes, cucumbers, avocado, and sweet corn.

For a little extra flavor (not that it needs any) I squeezed a little lime over the top and sprinkled on some sea salt and pepper. It could definitely be made for a large crowd! AND since it doesn't get soggy, especially if you use the kale in place of spinach, it is perfect for a light lunch at work!

Enjoy your spring salads! :)
