Comfort Food At It's Best

I've been a little off the grid lately as I've been under the weather. But I'm a glass half full kind of Gal and I decided to put a positive spin on the dreaded summer cold and make myself some ooey gooey comfort food. A couple of nights ago like a good Husband does, MK made me a fabulous grilled cheese sandwich. It hit the spot so much that I wanted to make another the following night. I wanted to switch it up so my brain automatically goes to gourmet. Gourmet Pesto Grilled Cheese?! Perfect!! I just so happened to have fresh from the garden tomatoes (thanks Dad!) just sitting on my counter needing to be used. This just might be my new favorite and the good news is that it's so easy!

All you do is put the pesto of your choice on each side of the bread (I used fresh Italian from the bakery), cut up some tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, I put mine in a Panini press but you can do it stove top as well. It's quick, easy, and so delicious! 

Jumping into August!

August is here and needless to say we are ready! It's going to be a crazy busy month for us Kilgore's but sometimes you just have to stop and have a little fun.

Recently, we purchased a point and shoot camera for our upcoming travels. We bought it so we could take great quality photos without all of our equipment, so we wanted to test it out! What do you think?

National Lipstick Day!

I received a text this morning from my friend telling me it was National Lipstick Day!! What better a day to talk about how to find your perfect shade than today? 

It's all about warm and cool. I've talked about this before but it is a very important part to look at when choosing your perfect shade, or anything for that matter. Clothes, hair color, etc. The color wheel and warm and cool tones are basically all you need to know in order to look fab.

How do you find out if you are warm or cool? Find a garment that is silver and one that is more gold. You'll know instantly which looks better. So when you choose your color, for instance my favorite, red. Choose a cooler tone if the silver looked better or if the warmer color looked better choose a red with a more orange base. If you aren't sure just grab a few different shades and experiment. You'll find out which you prefer rather quickly and will be ready to pucker up!
