Herb Hummus

I LOVE making homemade hummus - it tastes 10X better than store bought!

Just tried this new recipe and it's delicious! Just serve with veggies and/or crackers/chips

Veggies Delish!

This was a most delicious veggie sandwich, super flavorful and easy to put together!

I hollowed out wheat bread a bit, then slathered on a bit of pesto (make it or buy one premade)

In a skillet I grilled spiralized zucchini, carrots and onions, and tossed in some cherry peppers until they popped. I also tossed in pine nuts the last minute or two.  I seasoned with S&P. This was the filling for the sandwich.

Delish!

Twelve Bucks!

This is the time of year for sales on sandals and these cute flats were twelve bucks at Target!  There were lots of sale shoes!

Two for Fall

Sometimes, summertime clearance doesn't just include items worn only in the summer.  I have plans for these scarves ($6.99 each!) to wear with camel and gray, come the cooler months.  I don't like infinity scarves at all, and these are just regular scarves, they're soft, and really really cute!

Found them at Charming Charlie!

The Jelly Between Your Toes

When I shop, I love hitting 3-4 stores and heading straight to all of the clearance shelves.  At Old Navy this weekend, these cute jellies were on sale for $4.49.  They're super comfy, in a neutral shade for matching everything, and what a great deal!

Arugula Dip

We had this dip for a snack at a picnic/concert tonight and it was a winner!

2 1/2 cups packed arugula
zest and juice from half a lemon
1/2 cup mayo
1 small garlic clove
pinch of red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp kosher salt


Place all in the blender and puree until smooth!

we enjoyed it with veggie chips.

Risotto with Bacon

Found this cool risotto package at World Market, made it according to the directions.  Added butter, Parm, and then cooked and crumbled bacon.

Put it in a thermos and voila! Lunch was made!

And it was so very tasty...
