That Big Book Sale
starts tomorrow!

Bring your bags or boxes
and prepare to be overwhelmed by the incredible 
amount of books in a space that isn't a library
or a bookstore

*You never know what your going to find*

this is by far the best used book sale I have ever been to
and I look forward to it every year
it always comes along with pumpkin spiced goodies
and cooler weather
That Big Book Sale 
is when fall really starts for me

What's for dinner? fast food -vs- home made

(via)

I love a good cheese burger
we have a couple great burger places in Mount Pleasant
*The Windjammer*
Crave
*Poes*
(no fast food though**the boyfriend and I don't partake)
well....except for the very rare chick fil a

this info graphic
shows the price difference
 between home cooked and fast food
and the health difference

I think it's very interesting
seeing what $30.00 buys you at McDonalds
and knowing what $30.00 buys you at the Grocery Store
even if you arn't a certified chef
an affordable home made meal is within reach

wanderlust: food and travel





When I get a taste of Wanderlust
most often
I think of trying exotic foods 
drinking new wines and liquors
I dream of curries
and the crazy packaging of new snacks
trying new foods is always my favorite part of traveling 

this video 
is a perfect taste 
of my favorite part of traveling

From the Kitchen: What I've been Cooking

The Boyfriends Favorite
the cheese plate
with fresh baked bread
brie
cheddar
and tiny champagne grapes
Crock Pot Macaroni & Cheese
add Peas, Pancetta and super sharp cheddar
it's perfect


Pioneer Woman's Steakhouse pizza
*kinda*
used some of  my own flavors
but she is my inspiration
I added arugula, mushrooms,  and used vidalia onions
*sweet southern awesomeness*


Pork Carnitas  over Mexican Beer and Chorizo risotto
served with a side of roasted corn smothered in cojita cheese
valentina hot sauce and mayo
