Something Cozy


Something cozy I stumbled upon in Chinatown. Pretty darned cute and props to whoever thought of making this. I think we should commission them to make a bunch and have a whole street don the parking meter cozy. Thoughts?

Today


Just thought I'd share this new pic with you. Took it today as we walked the seawall and beyond. We ended up walking for a good 4 hours. It was such an amazing day out too. We are both trying to be super healthy. Working out every morning and really watching what we eat. I've been trying for about a year now but now Dave is on board. It's so much better with doing it too. It keeps me on track having a partner in crime.

Pretty Vintage Things




Bought this today (actually Dave bought it for me:). I love it and think it is sooooo pretty!

New Recipe!!!!!! Delish!



So I made this amazingly wonderfully easy breakfast dish this morning. You should definitely try! Here is the easy recipe! Enjoy!
From March 2010 Goodhousekeeping
Bacon and Eggs Over Asparagus

Serves: 2-3

Total Time: 30 min

Prep Time: 8 min

Oven Temp: 475

Ingredients:
  • 8 slice(s) bacon
  • 1 pound(s) asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) fresh thyme leaves, chopped ( I felt this out and used dried Thyme instead)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 8 large eggs ( I used 3 eggs since there were only 2 of us)
  • 3 tablespoon(s) packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped ( I modified to a tablespoon)
  • 1 tablespoon(s) fresh dill, chopped

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. In a baking sheet, arrange bacon slices in single layer. Roast 8 to 9 minutes or until browned and crisp. Transfer to paper-towel-lined plate; set aside. Drain and discard excess bacon fat in pan, leaving thin film of fat.
  2. Add asparagus to pan in single layer. Roll in fat until evenly coated. Arrange in tight single layer. Sprinkle thyme and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper on asparagus. Roast 8 to 10 minutes or until asparagus spears are tender and browned.
  3. Carefully crack eggs, without breaking yolks, directly onto asparagus spears, staggering if necessary. Carefully return pan to oven. Roast 5 to 6 minutes or until whites are just set and yolks are still runny. Sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper on eggs. Return bacon to pan; sprinkle eggs and asparagus with parsley and dill. To serve, use wide spatula to transfer to serving plates.
Honestly after making this once i would never need to look at this recipe again. It is so easy! It turned out so well and for desert we halved a grapefruit. Couldn't ask for a better meal to start off my day.
