Prepster

I have been in a very preppy mood lately and there's nothing more preppy than a monogram.  I love these precious finds from Haymarket Designs and Preppy & Pink.

Feeding a 34 Year Old and a 1 Year Old

Sometimes it's just as hard to feed my vegetable hating husband as it is my one year old.  Wait I actually think Ella is easier to feed.  One recipe/ trick I have developed of my own is related to cooking peas.  

I personally love peas but Chris hates them and he doesn't love this version either but I was super proud of him when he ate them tonight to get Ella to get them.  Ella shoveled these in and even passed up macaroni for more peas.  

These are my peas with pancetta.  It's just one bag of frozen peas cooked according to package directions.  Go to the deli section of your grocery store and ask for one slice of pancetta about half an inch thick.  Dice up the pancetta and toss it in a skillet with about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil.  Brown the pancetta until it begins to render its fat.  Pour the pancetta and oil over the peas.  Toss to combine.  It gives the peas a great flavor.  Ella loves them!

Also, I am loving visiting our local farmer's market.  This week I stocked up on heirloom tomatoes and made a tomato pie from Southern Living mag along with some pork kabobs (that is the cause of the bourbon on my cutting board).  Both are delicious.  

Happy Tuesday!

Some July Faves

Here are some of my July faves. 

Tees and Pants from J.Crew.  I love the mint pants with the emerald top and flower necklace.  Also love the ikat tee.  

Rifle Paper Co. notepad from Quirk Gallery.  Love Rifle Paper!

Chambray tee with tiny star detail from the Gap.  

I hope everyone survived a sweltering weekend.  It was 104 here yesterday.  Unreal.  

I will be posting about some changes to the house this week along with some recipes. 

Here's too a happy week!  (And a happy holiday for everyone in the US!)
