Good Things

Here are a few "good things" I thought I'd share... 

Casually {after a sweaty run} "sittin' on the dock of the bay"... enjoying a good meal... with good friends...

... who didn't mean to "match"... But aren't they just as cute as can be?!?

Mexican... it's casual, cheap, and absolutely delicious.

And who knew you could get such pretty views in Birmingham, AL of all places? Aaron and I were there for a wedding and I just had to snap this quick picture with my phone after the reception.

Ok... would you like to see my latest edible obsession??

 I've selfishly debated whether or not to let the cat out of the bag on this one because this stuff is absolutely unapologetically delicious. {No exaggeration included btw}. Have you ever enjoyed those delicious cookies Delta Airlines hands out? Well this is them in a smooth {or crunchy} form. Publix carries this spread but only in small quantities and I think World Market carries it too. I shouldn't have even told y'all...

Have any of you picked up this delicious magazine off the shelves? Well, I hope you have. Rarely do I find a cookbook or magazine that I want to make at least 95% of the recipes from. Just sayin'!

While we're on a "delicious" note... have any of you made my Easy French Apple Tart? I make it all the time... especially for my mom because it's her favorite. Let's just say her Mothers Day ended on a pretty sweet note!

And one more delicious image to show you... Homemade Cinnamon Sticks. 

~ Cut puff pastry dough in strips.

~ Bake on 400 degrees until golden and puffy. {about 20 minutes maybe? I honestly don't know. Just keep an eye on 'em! That's what I do.}

~ Meanwhile melt a stick of butter and when the pastry sticks come out of the oven let them cool and then roll them around in the melted butter.

~ Next, roll them around in a cinnamon-sugar mixture. 

~ Set them on a rack to set, and then dig in! Trust me, these are WAY more delicious than any restaurant chain... I promise!

Well that's all for today... and just so you know... I've got an amazing GIVEAWAY coming up that I am reeeeeeeeally thrilled about and you should be too!! GET EXCITED!!
