Weekend Breakfast is Best

March 18, 2012

I love eating breakfast! Sadly during the week I don’t have time to cook elaborate and delicious breakfasts so it usually ends up being more of an European style breakfast with salami, cheese, and bread. Still quite good but I also really like to cook. So on the weekends I try to make a larger breakfast at least once. This weekend I made scrambled eggs with asparagus, arugula, potatoes, and onions with chives on top, cherry wood smoked bacon, buttermilk and currant scones (kind of a specialty of mine at this point), and fresh squeezed orange juice. Yum! It was so delicious! I love how in the last photo you can see the flecks of pepper Walker was sprinkling over my plate. What do you like to cook on the weekends?

Soup is my Favorite!

March 14, 2012

What better to eat during the rainy, cool weekend then soup! I made a huge batch of corn chowder and ate it all weekend long (Walker helped some). On the second day though I thought it would be nice to add some greens to it so I cooked up some spinach and piled it on top of our bowls. Mmmm it was sooo good! If you have some soup recipes you think I should have please please share them in the comments below!

Finally Finished Painting

March 13, 2012

Probably over a year ago my coworker asked if I would paint two fun canvases to brighten up the bathroom in our office (yes we have a bathroom in the office). She bought all the supplies and all I had to do was paint them. It wasn’t supposed to be anything complicated just colorful. I painted the first one pretty quickly because it was fun and I felt a bit obligated. Then my jewelry business took off and the second painting that had been started was quickly stuffed away. Recently I got a friendly reminder from my coworker when she asked about the progress of the second one. Ah oh yeah! So I pulled the sucker out of the closet and finished it over the weekend. It sure feels nice to finish projects that have been sitting around for soooo long. (The last picture is the latest one I have, I added a bit more paint to make it looked more polished but haven’t photographed it yet)
