For years, making cakes has been a passion of mine. Sometimes you can get into a rut with what you are comfortable doing. When it comes to cakes, for me, that means fondant. So when the next occasion called for a cake I decided to go out of my box. Being a wedding photographer I see a ton of cakes and this one I've been seeing a lot of. The "naked cake" is a great, different and fresh way to spruce up the norm.
Its always good to push yourself out of your comfort zone.
Happy first day of SPRING!!!!!
It's finally here! It might be a gloomy rainy day but hey all the rain brings the pretty flowers right? It sure was a long cold Winter and I for one am ready for it to be gone.
Here we are eight years later and we can still hear Miranda Priestly's voice "Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking." Well once again they are a big trend for this season. I decided that my first outfit wasn't going to include florals just for this reason. Ha! For me this fabulous warmer season is all about colors, both light and bright. Also I always say the more feathers and seaquins the better!! Since as previously stated, feathers were all over the runways at Fashion Week I decided to make that part of this outfit.
One more thing, this man right here? He has my heart on so many levels. Always the stylish guy, that was one of the first things that attracted me to him. Also, for years, the fedora has been his signature look and for me..it never gets old.
Enjoy your first weekend in the new season!
You've been hearing about Sriracha everywhere this past year and now it's you turn to try it out if you haven't yet! You only need a tiny bit of it for the most part because it's pretty hot but it sure does add a great flavor. This salad is my new favorite because it's low cal and the flavor packs a delicious punch. With the hot of the Sriracha and the sweet of the Thai sauce it is the perfect balance. This recipe is yet another from the cookbook "Skinny Taste" called "Bangin' Good Shrimp". I, of course, made a few slight changes of my own.
Along with amazing flavor it is also easy to make. Prepare the shrimp by sauteeing, and then in a large bowl mix everything together. At only 215 calories per serving (makes 4 servings), it's a hard recipe to resist.
