Food for Thought Friday

I came across this letterpress artwork featuring the following quote by philosopher Bertrand Russel, "The time you enjoy is not wasted time". I appreciate this thought, especially considering I found it on Pinterest, a site full of visual inspiration that some may or may not consider a total waste of time. For me Pinterest has provided endless inspiration for new projects, recipes (like the strawberry salmon salad above, which I made this week and it was in fact as delicious as it looks), and style inspiration like the mod hair and peplum jacket above.

Here's to time wasting time enjoying yourself. I will certainly be doing just that during my first visit to Wine Country this weekend! Have a great Friday and a fantastic weekend!

Tasty Mornings

With more time at home it's easy to do one of two things: focus energy on healthy eating or get lost snaking. I am trying to make sure the latter doesn't happen. I recently received this yummy smoothie recipe in my inbox from Spoon Fork Bacon. The addition of cinnamon to the blueberries and banana is perfection. I switched things up a bit by replacing the buttermilk for a few spoonfuls of vanilla Greek yogurt.

Foodie {style profile}

Introducing our new series, Style Profile! For the kick-off we interviewed local Atlantan and self-proclaimed foodie, Rafael Love. His full walk in closet attests to his other love, fashion.

Culinary Creations {Veal Piccata}

I am excited to introduce guest, Shelly Hiatt, the blogger behind A Collection of Culinary Creations. She showed off her cooking skills preparing a delicious veal piccata for us served with alongside green beans and mashed potatoes.

Fresh Foodie {Bran Flax Muffins}

We are back with another delicious recipe from guest, JoAnna! We previously featured the delicious Flaugnarde with Roasted Berries she created.

Joanna used the recipe from Bob's Flaxseed Meal as inspiration, making a few alterations:

• no raisins
• toast the pecans
• 1 mashed banana and applesauce in place of the apples
• part heavy cream / part greek yogurt

Q & A

Q: What would you say you enjoy most about cooking?  

A: What I love most about cooking is the final product, the enjoyment of sharing something healthy that I created with friends & family. Besides enjoying the results, I love the process. It can be very therapeutic some days to pour myself a glass of wine and dive into a new recipe.
