It is love that makes impossible possible—Indian Proverb

My Lizetty lovey married her Joey in February and it was glorious. Y'all. For real, this wedding was great. The ambiance, the food, the music, the people. So.So.Good! On a scale of 1 to even, I literally can't. It was everything! Lizetty was a BEAUTIFUL bride with so much grace and she and Joey hosted a marvelous event to celebrate their love. I'm beyond grateful to have been witness to it. Now, behold! A bajillion pictures to paint the landscape of the #dieliwedding: Some of my very favorite peoples: My man just being one g'lookin' son of a B! Gorgeous details for a fabulous couple: Lizette is a rock star and wanted to bake her own desserts so she, Danielle, and I (aka Sweet Teeth Dessert homies) did so and they were pretty damn fabulous: Anddddd some tequila shots for celebrating... Te-kill-ya! Not such the ease that age 22 allowed. Nooo, that's totally not drool on my chest... I wish Lizetty and Joey so much love, luck, a...

Well, looky looky who we have here

I have been absent for a bit, no? I swear it wasn't on purpose. Life has got me moving in several directions and I am so thrilled and thankful! Things have been exciting and busy and keeping me running with every ounce of my being. I love and thrive for it! So in no particular order I have been... In a wedding and taking part in all the wonderful coinciding events leading up to a wedding. Seriously, my good friend got married and it was an AMAZING time from the start of planning all the way through the big day!! I'm sad it's over! But I'll be back to thoroughly blog about that in a day or two; Working on an incredibly and stupendously fabulous special assignment at work; Cooking a whole lot at home-thus cleaning up after working long, happily tiresome days; Baking with my girlfran business partners; Beginning the second phase of the Leadership Academy my company has; Loving my Hunter Bear and of course the Pepper-Roni, even if they were b...

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

Weekending

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...

Yes, it's ladies night and it's feeling righttttt

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

Alfredo Stuffed Shells a la Florentine

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
