Fun Finds on Friday

July 13, 2012 6 Comments

I really, really love to eat.

Ask me how my vacation went, and I’ll tell you all about the food we ate each day.

The only reason I work out is so I can eat even more.

So this week I’m giving you the edible edition of Fun Finds – recipes that I’ve been thinking of trying (and totally pinning). Bon apetit!

Remember all those raspberries in my backyard? I’ll be on the hunt all summer for recipes to put them in. This one looks promising!

I’ll pick fish over meat any day of the week. Salmon burgers are my go-to during the summer months. Plus, my husband – who hates anything “from the sea” – can happily munch his beefy version alongside mine.

How fresh and summery is a bowl of pasta with roasted veggies?! Plus, this one’s made with quinoa noodles, so my gluten free friends will be happy too.

Homemade caramel sauce. No explanation needed. Yum.

What’s on your list to make this summer?

    Pardon My French

  • I was clearing out old photos and realized I never posted these pictures! Clearly, they are from at least a week ago, since there’s still snow on the ground (that’s a little MN humor, since our winter lasted for approximately forever this year!). Beginning soon, my pics will include my new updated hair. I’m back… [Continue Reading]

  • I love to use mason jars in all kinds of ways. We drink out of them. I use them as vases. They’re an easy vessel for candles. And what’s cuter than a little token of friendship, planted in a mason jar and tied up with a burlap strip? Not much, I tell ya. In honor… [Continue Reading]

  • I’m trying to think of something, anything, other than to complain about the crazy weather we’ve been having around here. But it’s sorta hard to do. One minute it’s beautiful and sunny, the next moment it’s gloomy and drizzling, and the next? I’m practically blown away from insane wind gusts. But it’s all good. Cuz… [Continue Reading]
