From My Kitchen...

I am thrilled that spring is right around the corner! That means fresh and local produce is on its way. I'm excited to return to our favorite Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. I'm ready to move on to a new season! Fresh lemon verbena ice cream anyone?

Since Joey broke his leg our dear friends and neighbors have been so kind to cook dinners for us. One of our favorite meals was stuffed shells from our friend Mary Marshall. I don't even like stuffed shells! These were amazing. The recipe is so easy and makes a lot of food. It took us three days to eat it all. A link to the recipe is below.


I know I have declared my love for Hot Squeeze before. This weekend we tossed in 1/2 cup Hot Squeeze with a pound of frozen meatballs and cranked up the slow cooker. It was delicious. And the original Hot Squeeze is soon getting a sister flavor, Orange Ginger Zing. I'm probably a little too excited about it.


And last but not least, our new snacking obsession, Trader Joe's Kettle Corn (the pink one.) It's salty and sweet and the bag always gets opened on the way home.

My post is titled "From My Kitchen" but I'm realizing that none of the above items really came from my kitchen at all. However, in the spirit of kitchens, here are a few photos. I'm really into the traditional roman shade trend in the kitchen.

Sheers looking current and absolutely gorgeous.

  1. I love Roman shades too, they always look so neat and tailored.

    BTW, my stomach is growling just looking at the stuffed shells your friend made you!
