Delish!

I don't usually post recipes here, but I had to share a few of these - they are just too good not to!  Bon Appetit!

Watermelon Lime Frosty - right up my alley!

Waffle hashbrowns - I haven't tried these yet but look sinful and yummy.



If you love a Caprese Salad as much as I do, this is the "burger" for you.

With the kids out of school, fun and playful eats are top of mind!

Coffee ice cubes - freeze leftover coffee for a yummy afternoon refresher.

Crispy brussel sprouts - perfect for a BBQ or a fall feast.

I threw these together last week for dinner and I'd highly recommend them.

Crispy edamame - mmmmmm....

I didn't start this post by saying these recipes would be healthy...

The secret to these is butter-dipped marshmallows inside...divine!

S'mores dip.  I've died and gone to heaven.

I'm loving this rustic presentation of a great combo.

Fresh tomato lasagna - ideal for August tomatoes!

What are you hungry for?  :)

Al Fresco

For me there is nothing better in summer than a fantastic dinner with friends or family al fresco - soothing weather, a relaxed vibe, great food and wine...  These are some spots where I'd love to do just that!

Do those men even know how lucky they are????

Where do you want to dine tonight?

High Energy Rooms

All of these rooms have a jolt of color - not usually my thing as I'm sure you've noticed by my love of neutral rooms - but I am really loving the vibe they give off.  And as you'll see, in most cases it's still a neutral room with accent pieces in a vibrant color.  Maybe it's because it's Summer - not sure - but I love them!

How many of you would have the guts to buy an orange couch?  Not me, but it does look amazing!  The moroccan accents and tufting help it stay away from looking too childish...and let's get real:  those incredible windows can pull off just about anything.

Doing this is to an old hutch we have is on my summer to-do list - seems much less intimidating than wallpapering the inside!

There's a lot going on in this room but I think those chairs are pretty amazing.

Chic!

Yes, this is a store, but there are still great ideas to study...

Every time I see a surfboard in a room it makes me smile.

I'd like to see a vase overflowing with sunflowers on this table.

Euro-loft - how cool.



Another version...a contrast of modern and rustic - always refreshing!

So what do you think?  Do you feel more energized or exhausted by color?  :)
