“Why’s the Rum Always Gone?”

Happy Friday! We made it!

This post is going to be verrrrry fast and to the point today because this girl hasn’t had time for anything! I’ve been following the Johnny Depp trial and today finally are the closing arguments. I only thought it appropriate to do a “Pirates” themed cocktail.

I’m super sad Johnny won’t be involved with the Pirates franchise anymore so so pay a little homage to that, I give you the “Why’s the Rum Always Gone” cocktail. This super easy drink recipe is perfect for summer days and it makes such a pretty color thanks to one of my favorites Blue Curaçao.

Simply add everything to a glass with ice and enjoy!

Have the best Memorial Day weekend!

A Savory Tart

Hey there, Everyone!

I’ve been on a real Vegan kick lately for some health reasons. Get this. I sneeze after I eat like a crazy person so I’m trying to see if going Vegan helps me in any way feel better in general and maybe not sneeze as much or something like that.

On my Insta stories last week, I posted Zucchini Lasagna and like a lot of you wanted the recipe so that’s coming next week. It’s seriously amazing and I’m actually obsessed with it.

Anyway, I love tomatoes and when I saw these beauties I knew I had to do something with them. Once you make the “cheese” sauce this recipe comes together very fast.

For the sauce:

Simply throw everything in your blender and puree it.

For the tart:

Roll out your puff pastry (I made my own wheat version), add your sauce, cheese, assemble tomatoes to your liking, top with basil, and throw it in the oven on 400 degrees for about 25-30 minutes. I’d say less if using store bought puff pastry.

This recipe is Kilgore Kid approved as they both love tomatoes. Theo was pretty thrilled to see yellow ones. Also it surly doesn’t have to be vegan. If I made this non vegan I would have used Mascarpone cheese and topped it with mozzarella. But, if you can, use fresh basil. It makes all the difference.

Have a wonderful Wednesday. I like a Wednesday because that means Tuesday is over. *insert nervous laughter*

I hope the day brings you something delicious!

Edgy Interest

Bonjour Friends!

It surly has been a minute since I’ve posted here. If you follow me on social media then you know I’ve been a busy girl. Lots and lots of photo taking and a little vacay thrown in there.

Now that I have a minute to breathe, I thought I’d bring you another palette that I just love. My top and trousers are from The Drop by Amazon. If you don’t know about it I suggest you check it out. Amazon partners with major influencers to create their own collections and when they “drop” you only have a certain amount of time to shop and then the pieces are gone. My favorite is Blake Gifford ig handle @signedblake. She’s one of the most chic people I’ve ever seen. So when she does a drop I’m all over it. I still think about a blazer I didn’t get. *sigh*

Anywho, I love these colors together because black, white, and blue have an edge but add the pop of snakeskin pink and it really adds some interest.

The reason I love doing these posts is because if you start with a palette and not a piece you can get a really unique look. Think about this look with a white hat, pink top, black pants, blue shoes. Fun no matter how you slice it.

I know what you’re thinking is this how I head to Home Depot with two toddlers? The answer is obviously yes. Was I sweaty? Even more yes.

Happy Tuesday. Be careful. I don’t trust them.
