soup

The simple creamy sometimes brothy mixture that warms the soul, yeah thats what I am talking about.

I use to HATE soup, like I wouldn't even eat it even if I couldn't eat anything else. 

Well, recently with the cooler temps, moving here and pinterent inspiration I have come to LOVE soup.

There is just something wonderful about soup on a cold rainy day.

One of my favorite recipes, which I probably make once a week now, is this one found originally on pinterest

Tomato-basil soup at its finest.

Doesn't it just look amazing.

Whats your favorite food for fall right now?

It was hard

If you stopped by yesterday morning you read a post that was very very hard for me to write and I felt like I made a huge leap.

Long story short that post was misunderstood and I took it down.

I just want to thank the few of you that did comment and talk to me about it. It really meant a lot. Thank you again.

Oh, buffet!

Lets talk about the buffet my dad built for a wedding present (yeah last year)

Yeah, thats the one.. isn't she beautiful. I think so

Ok, reverse (over a year ago).. I was inspired by 

this butcher block kitchen island from Joi at Nuestra Vida Dulce

I wanted an island also, but I didn't have the room for it

I gave my dad the dimensions and this is what he came up with 

(this is the only before pic I have.. sorry guys)

you can see it to the right of this picture before the kitchen reno.

The top was sealed to be used as a butcher blocks, it was not very dark and was often stained by coffee

so we decided during the kitchen reno that the top had to be darker and I needed a shelf for more storage.
