Hot Pink

Are you feeling brave enough to wear HOT PINK this season? Check out my post on Say Yes to Hoboken for how to wear hot pink and keep it subtle or be the show stopper.

Grilled Pizza

I love this recipe because it's the marriage of two of my favorite things; the grill and pizza. With summer around the corner I think its the perfect time to bust it out. Gather your favorite toppings. Make sure the toppings are thin because this pizza cooks fast. Whip up your favorite pizza dough recipe. I like to go to Trader Joe's and pick up their pre made dough. It runs for about $1.50 and makes two pizza's. You can't beat that! After you roll out your dough, brush it with olive oil on both sides, a nice good coat. Heat your grill on low on one side and high on the other side. Start the dough out on the high side till it gets golden brown on one side. Flip the dough onto the low side of the grill. Cover the cooked crust with cheese, sauce and toppings and put the other dough down on the other side. Close the grill and let everything melt together. Make sure you turn the high side down after you flip your second pizza. Cooked till melted and golden brown. Take the pizza off and enjoy!

Weekly Review

Fiesta Pink nails, the first farmers market of the year, summer sandals I resisted, the lamp we finally got around to painting, and the best chocolate chip cookie recipe I've had in months. But the highlight of the week would have to be the hot dog roast we had in the back yard. Warm weather, friends, fire, marshmallows, and a new baby to swoon over. It was a great preview of the summer nights to come.

Life is better at the Beach

Montara Beach

Last weekend I surprised Alden with a get away to the beach. Lately work has been over the top stressful and I knew it wouldn't be warm enough to swim but if we could just get to the beach and embrace all that the ocean represents somehow it would make things better, at least for that moment.

Getting to the ocean was a trip in and of itself. Apparently everyone had the same idea I did because the roads were PACKED and the beaches were PACKED. By the time we made it to the ocean we only had an hour. So we laid out the towels and crawled under my sun hat and hid. There were people all around us but somehow we were able to tune them out and take in the smell and feel of the ocean and RELAX. I mean REALLY relax. We kissed and laughed and were reminded how the beach can breath life back into you.

Oh... and then we ate Mexican food, like any good Californian would after going to the beach.

Wear//There//Switzerland

Well for the past week we have been doing research like crazy on going to Switzerland. Our trip that we are going to take will most likely be in the winter which means if we decide to go to Switzerland we will be skiing in the Alp's and getting cozy next to a nice big fire.
