Such a long name.
Such a small and simple sandwich.
My Roma tomatoes are ready to rock in my little back garden. Last year I found lots of fun things to do with them– there was Tomato Bruschetta, Roasted Tomato Sauce, Roasted Tomato Basil Soup (my personal favorite), and no shortage of fresh tomatoes in salsa and on pizza. So when I picked my first handful of fresh garden tomatoes, I knew whatever I shared would have to be simple and special– so the tomatoes could shine. This is that.

#1- I feel like I post a picture of pretty mixed drinks every Manic Monday but… I mean who doesn’t like a pretty mixed drink? Anyway, this sangria from Avenue M in Asheville was … well basically it was the best sangria I have ever had ever. And I am determined to recreate it. So maybe there will be a delicious sangria recipe coming at you soon. Or maybe just more photographs of my delicious failures? We’ll see.

There are many many perks to blogging.
Like Chocolate Caramel Coffee Cookie Bars.
But also awesome people. Like all of you!!!
Earlier this week I got a surprise box in the mail that I thought was work and I was sort of dreading it. But when I opened the box it was 2 jars of jam from one of my favorite reader blogger friends. See? Awesome.
Summer has commenced in North Carolina and it is HOT. Sticky suffocating why-don’t-I-have-my-own-pool kind of heat.
Yesterday Evan turned the hose to the “garden shower” setting and then just stood under it for like 5 solid minutes. If anyone drove by here they might have thought that I bathe my kids in the yard. But whatever. It’s hot.
And because it’s so hot (you see everyone that complained it was still cool in May? I KNEW summer was going to smack us in the face with all its might, no matter the mild spring) I had mostly decided that I would not be cooking for the next 3 months. We can live on strawberries and lettuce, right?

339 posts, nearly all of which are recipes, and not one single beef burger.
That had to be remedied.
Especially because, well, I don’t know about your guys, but my guy likes BEEF.

Dip.
Such a perfect excuse to eat a bunch of snacky foods.
I love things that are really quick to throw together in case of get-together emergencies. This dip is that– it comes together as fast as you can chop a few herbs and stir.

#1- It’s Manic Monday!!! I had a fantastic weekend celebrating with my family. Let’s take a second to review.
Chad and I kicked things off with a sushi lunch on Friday that was outta this world delicious. I cannot say enough good things about Sumo, the little sushi spot that opened up near us recently, and dang if it isn’t about time there was somewhere in this place to get decent food! If you are in the Shelby, NC area please pay Sumo a visit! If you aren’t into sushi they have a hibachi menu that will not disappoint. My birthday lunch was so great!! Where is your favorite sushi spot?

Today I turn 33.
So I’ve spent some time trying to figure out what I’ve learned in 33 years and some things I need to keep in mind.
Also I made cupcakes.
I smashed all of my favorite cookie flavor things into one delicious cookie.
Chocolate– there is plenty. Almonds? Double dose. Soft brown sugary cookie base? You got it. Loads of sprinkles? Of course!!
Double Chocolate Almond Sprinkled Cookies. YES.
Tacos.
I have a deep affection for all of the Mexican food. Enchiladas, taquitos, burritos, quesadillas, anything boasting queso fresco— I love it all.
Also margaritas. Let’s not forget the margaritas. On the rocks. With salt. Thanks.
But tacos definitely, definitely, DEFINITELY top that list.
