love making homeade biscuits. It makes me feel Martha Stewarty.....I don't do as much "from scratch" baking as I would like to - so when I can pull out the rolling pin and spread out some flour it makes me all happy inside....

I had borrowed my friend's juicer about a month ago. I Loved it but I didn't like the clean up. So after I sent it back I found myself using my blender for much more than slim fast shakes and margaritas. This is one of those drinks....So easy and a little more healthy than a margarita.....




Core 1 apple (leave peeling on)
1 Cup fresh strawberries (cleaned and topped)
2 ounces orange juice
Throw it all in the blender and pulse for a few times and there ya go....Pour in a cold glass and garnish with a strawberry...Enjoy!

This is where I dream to be on a hectic day. There are certain moments in your life that you wish you could escape to - this is one for me. My husband and I ventured off on our own when we were in Hawaii. We found this abandoned light house off the beaten path.....Beauty....

One of the things that I am working on is selling my photography as stock photography. So although I think this would make a great photo I also look at it with a different eye now.
