Some #ootd's I'm playing with for the week ahead. Getting dressed is most definitely my favorite time of day. Until we meet again, M

Last week was divine chaos. I'm working my normal FT work schedule; working on two personal business ventures; taking a social media certification program; and working on an extra project for a work event that's happening in March. It's fun and rewarding and I love every second of it. I just have to jot down times to come up for air. On Saturday we attended a friend's business anniversary party. His shop celebrated one year and some change in existence and I can't say enough how empowering it is to know people who are actively living out dreams, who are getting up every day to get after it all over again. Hunter and I took in the beautiful Florida winter weather for brunch outside as well. Below is a Kobe Beef burger with a'egg atop and Bang Bang Shrimp Benedict with asparagus. Glitter and gold and everything I dream of basically. I saw this meme a few weeks ago and I have not stopped laughing. What can I say, I'm easy to humor. I positively...

This past weekend, a few of my very best and I ventured out to properly send off one of us who is to be married later this month. Insert: My beautiful Lizetty who is gettin' hitched to her Joey oh so soon (really, how DOES time fly so fast?) and I cannot wait for their celebration! It is going to be fabulous!! We had a wonderful night full of laughing, dancing, and lots of loving on our girl. Magic Mike's cousins were in town so it happened to be the perfect opportunity for me and muh ladies. Lizetty, you are seriously the kindest, funniest, prettiest little lamb I know. You deserve everything that is good and then 10 million better than that. I'm grateful to stand with you on your day and I seriously cannot CANNOT wait! The ladies of Sweet Teeth Desserts I love these crazy, funny alley cats sooooo big! Until we meet again, M

Hopped in the kitchen to whip together some spinach and tomato stuffed shells with an Alfredo sauce this weekend. I followed a basic recipe of a ricotta and shredded Italian cheeses mixture for the filling and decided to throw in some toms and spin that needed to be used. If I'm being humble, it came out particularly delicious. I also rolled some pepperoni and fresh mozzarella croissants for Super Bowl yumness, shown in the pic on the back part of the stove. I brushed the amazing olive oil that I talked about before in a post , along with Parmesan cheese over top, and wa-la! Hunter asked me to marry him all over again with this one. Sometimes my most favorite place to be is in my kitchen, no real recipe, just going through the fridge and saying, "Yea, let's just try this..." Until we meet again, M

We visited a Bass Pro Shop last weekend and I just couldn't help myself but to snag some peach preserves. What can I say, I'm ready for some summertime peaches I suppose. I had no plans in mind for what I wanted to use it for, but knew I wanted to create something good. So as I got to thinking (there I go again), I decided to grab a few essential ingredients to anything tasty: And the grand finale... So simple, so yum! What type of preserves are your go-to? Until we meet again, M

Happy Monday! No need to dwell, we all despise most Mondays, with the exception of Labor Day and Memorial day. Best to get on with it I suppose... On Saturday night, Hunter and I went to watch a friend's cousin's band play at Toby Keith's new restaurant and bar , known as "I Love This Bar" due to Toby's hit song with a title of the same name. Y'all! (and PS I cannot even begin to think of a better time to use this phrase) This place is super cool. Excellent open concept and layout, yummy/quality food, and an overall ambiance that promotes a honky tonkin good time. The band is The Grand Central and they were on point. They did great covers of old and new songs and had everyone hopping around both on foot and bouncing in their chairs to the sounds. Hunter took an awesome shot of them in all their glory: We got to the place a little earlier than when the show was starting, so we grabbed a booth and munched on some goodies. The second pict...

Happy, happy Thursday my friends! May the week get on with it, and may you find yourself to Friday happy hour soon... Allow me to introduce a little adventure two of my very good lovies and I have launched recently: Tada! We started a dessert baking business! And it is so much fun already! So here's the back story: Lizette, Danielle, and I have enjoyed each others company and baked goods for many years now. We work together at our day jobs and after much discussion and excitement, we decided that 2015 was the year of sweet goodies with our label on them! Our baby is very new to this world and already oh so loved. We are passionate and pumped up to watch it grow. I also am incredibly grateful for this venture, and most importantly, for the two girls I get the privilege to call partners. Life is just too sweet sometimes. I will share more updates and cool stories that stem from this opportunity along the way, so in the meantime, head on over to our fresh new inte...
