strawberry cream cheese muffins


so, strawberrys are 4 packs for 5 dollars at giant eagle right now. what?
in an effort to not let them go to waste i made strawberry cream cheese muffins tonight.




i have meant to be preparing for our weekend camping/white water rafting trip in WV this weekend, but i thought a strawberry muffin for breakfast sounded brilliant.

i will prepare tomorrow.

lake cumberland, ky

this past weekend i drove down 5 1/2 hours to lake cumberland kentucky to meet my family for an extended weekend of tubing, skiing and relaxation. i love my family and a day off work and a drive back to columbus on monday that stole a little bit of my soul, all so i could hangout on the lake was 100% worth it.




cream cheese lobster pizza


i originally set out to make cream cheese lobster wontons, however the crappy giant eagle by my apartment doesn't carry wonton wrappers. kayla made a cream cheese crab pizza one time this past spring, so when i saw the package of lobster and the package of cream cheese in my fridge, i had a stroke of genius.

this pizza is delicious for dinner, delicious for lunch, and delicious for lunch the day after that.


red white and boom

the most amazing view of columbus fireworks.




a quest

what does a girl have to do for a great camera bag that 1.) isn't unbearably contrived or 2.) doesn't scream "i have a really expensive camera, please mug me"

the above bag is by far my favorite.
i have no information about it. the picture didn't say where its from or where to buy it or where to go if you were even thinking about buying it.

apparently googling "unique camera bags for women" really only gets you so far.


i do also lightweight like these canvas slings.
found via photojojo

the quest continues.

god bless america

i love 4th of july.
i love america.
i am very lucky girl.

a few pictures that i thought were lovely from our outerwear garden.

















blind pilot

i am always a little sad when i come across a great album that was released two years prior.
anyways, i would like to express how amazingly chill this album makes me feel.
high strug? baby just press play.
blind pilot, i would like to say thank you on behalf of my ears and heart.

weekend.

a weekend of comfest and sun took one out of me.
i am so tired it is unreal.
i will be laying low and getting back to a normal things.
recipes, photos, projects perhaps.

new!

a while back, i lost my dish soap dispenser AND coffee pot in one swift chain of reactions one morning when gravity got the best of a proped up cutting board in my sink.
i am pleased to have found a new bottle to contain soap.


taco salads. summer.

isnt this what summer is all about?
turkey taco salads, wacko summer ale, patios, friends?
yup.
i love a hot summer.
