Woodland Nursery: My Diary of Us

Nursery Reveal

With only 5 weeks and 5 days left until our little boy's arrival, my mom came into town last weekend to help me finish up all of the last details in the nursery. We washed tiny clothes, hung wall decor, and got everything just right for the arrival of baby boy Chatagnier.  I have been so excited to show you the nursery reveal because it truly has become my favorite room in the house!

I knew from the beginning that I wanted a nursery that felt calm, he would be able to grow into, and that was rustic with a modern feel.

Grilled Pineapple and Shrimp Skewers: My Diary of Us

Grilled Pineapple and Shrimp Skewers

We have a few weeks left of summer and I am taking full advantage in the kitchen.  I'm whipping up light and healthy meals that I can grill up for a fast dinner almost every night of the week right now.  With kids back at school and vacations officially over for the year, schedules are getting busier and busier and no one has the time to worry about dinner.  My grilled pineapple and shrimp skewers are super healthy and fast and you can feel great about feeding them to your entire family.

Fig and Melon Salad with Prosciutto: My Diary of Us

Fig and Melon Salad with Prosciutto

There's only a month left of summer and there is a little part of me that is panicking.  What will I do without my favorite fruits like berries, peaches, melons, and figs?  I am just not sure I am ready to give them up.  I mean I love apples and grapes, but they don't speak to my soul in the way that summer fruits do.  I am however ready for a relief in the heat and all things pumpkin and cozy, but until then you can find me making dishes like my fig and melon salad with prosciutto and savoring the last days of the their season.

Homemade Flaky Biscuits with Lavender Honey Butter: My Diary of Us

Homemade Flaky Biscuits with Lavender Honey Butter

Growing up in the South, biscuits are considered a breakfast essential in most family households. Still to this day, when I take a bite of a homemade biscuit, I feel a sense of nostalgia and cooking in the kitchen with my mom covered in flour.  Because if you are making your biscuits from scratch, you should be covered in flour...it goes with the territory.  So when King Arthur Flour asked me to be a part of their Better Biscuit Campaign, how was I supposed to say no?  Of course I said yes and debated long and hard about what kind of biscuit I wanted to make you.  When it came down to it, I had to go traditional, because to me there is nothing better than a perfectly baked warm biscuit slathered in something yummy.  These homemade flaky biscuits with lavender honey butter are going to rock your world in so many ways and I can't wait for you to try them out.

The Southern Cucumber: My Diary of Us

The Southern Cucumber

I've been out of the cocktail game for seven months now, and I'll admit my experimentation has gone down because I guess it just isn't as fun when you can't drink your concoctions.  That on top of being in and out of town, and slightly preoccupied with baby stuff, I have failed you in the cocktail department.  But lucky for you, my hubby has recently decided to make up for my lack of mixology in the house and has starting mixing up some cocktails of his own!  The southern cucumber happens to be his new favorite and is the perfect drink to finish out summer!

Two-Ingredient "Ice Cream" Sandwiches: My Diary of Us

Two-Ingredient "Ice Cream" Sandwiches

School has started back for most, and while that should signal fall is around the corner, the weather is telling us something completely different.  It's hot outside, smoldering actually, and a cool treat should be mandatory for kids and adults alike since the heat has decided it wants to stick around!  I am not even sure I can consider this a recipe actually...it's maybe the easiest thing I've ever posted on here, but I couldn't not share with you.  It requires little to no effort, and you are going to love these two-ingredient "ice cream" sandwiches!
