.its been a while.

wow! its crazy how quickly time goes when you're planning a wedding and still trying to maintain a nomal life. we are now 16 (SIXTEEN!!!!) days away from the wedding. we are soo excited! and thankful for a three day weekend coming up so we can finalize stuff! the next few weeks are going to go just way too fast! but we are beyond ready for this, we are so excited to finally be married!

because things have been so hectic i haven't had a chance to post anything lately. so i figured i would just post a 'collage' of pictures from my latest baking and cooking endeavors! yummy!

stuffed bell peppers!                        chicken enchi'mamas'!

island spice pork tenderloin!                 stef's homemade granola!

grandma c's lemon bars!

i also made some yummy coconut cupcakes for my bridal shower, but in the excitement of it all i forgot to photograph them! crap! lol. oh well.

the stuffed bell peppers were my fiance's idea. whenever he says he wants something i usually end up making it, after intense recipe research of course! :)

the chicken enchi'mamas' are a recipe i've made before but the second time around - OH MY GOODNESS! yuuuumy! its a totally 'from scratch' recipe, you make the enchilada sauce and the whole deal. soo delicious. and of course my fiance nick named them! ;-)

island spice pork tenderloin is recipe i found on http://www.annies-eats.com/, its seriously so simple and absolutely delicious. its a staple around our house now! we've made it multiple times since my first try.

my homemade granola is sooo yummy! it has everything in it and i am obsessed with it now! after the first try at it, my fiance told me he doesn't want us to buy cereal anymore! he loves it with milk, and i love it in my greek yogurt. its a very loved recipe now! i'm getting hungry just thinking about it!!

ohhh grandma c's lemon bars! where do i begin?? you know those recipes that bring you straight back to your childhood? this dessert is one of those! the recipe is perfect. the crust part is crisp, not mushy and the topping is gooey lemony goodness. LOVE this recipe. i finally got it from my mom, and made it during the middle of what us washingtonians refer to as a 'heat wave'. they're such a refreshing dessert during hot weather! :)

one last photo! what remained of my mini coconut cupcakes! they were so cute, they even had zebra cupcake liners to match the theme my friends came up with! they were a coconut cupcake with coconut buttercream! delish! :)

happy friday everyone!

.87 days and counting.

well first off it is finally sunny here in good old washington... after 273 days of temperatures under 74 degres it is well welcomed! we have had more rain this "summer" then i can ever remember, and i sure hope the sun decides to stick around for a while... us washintonians are starting to get a wee bit depressed i think! :) i mean, cloudy, cold weather on the first day of summer is pretty depressing, isn't it?

on another note - i am getting so anxious for our wedding... according to my handy dandy facebook countdown, we have 87 days to go! woo hoo! everything is starting to feel so real, especially when i got my adorable garter in the mail!

how adorable is that?! its so simple and classy with the simple white, but then it has my something blue and a cute little gemstone. it was exactly what i was looking for after searching forever! i loove all the garters this gal has she is so talented. i got it from hellodesigncrew on etsy! love! ♥

anyway, just wanted to jot down a quick blog and brag about the sun as i sit here basking in its glory!! ahh... so refreshing to have a break from the rain and wearing a coat! yippee!

happy thursday people.

xoxo
