"Magic Trick" !!

Ok so I learned the coolest thing ever recently!

I was so over buying celery and throwing half of it away because it got

 too wilted and "rubbery" to use. 

I learned that if you give it a fresh cut on the bottom and set it in water 

(cut side in the water) the celery will become crunchy again!! 

This works for kale and other leafy greens too!

This little trick more than doubled the lifetime 

of my celery and other greens, so I wanted to share!

Enjoy!

Rosemary!

ROSEMARY!

I have this obsession with rosemary, its kind of recent, but I think it's here to stay a while..

 I love the way it smells, looks, tastes... my obsession may have originally stemmed from these amazing rosemary garlic fries at The Counter (a build your own burger joint... it's amazing...)

There are so many different things you can do with it!

Good thing it grows like crazy-

I make flower crowns and arrangements with it all the time, you can use it in recipes, or just to fill your house with delicious smells!

Cool Tip!:

 in a sauce pan/pot on the stove fill it about halfway with water - add lemon juice, the outside of the lemon, a splash of vanilla and a few sprigs of rosemary.. let it simmer on the stove and your house will smell amazing! (but keep an eye on the water level and remember to fill it if you are going to be simmering for a long time)

 A little tip I learned from William & Sonoma.

 Rosemary requires minimal water, it grows like crazy (so it can fill a big space), and its beautiful!

Switching Gears... Kinda

Hello Friends and Fellow Bloggers!

I am switching gears a bit on here since I am finding it hard to keep up with all my recipes! I will still be posting yummy recipes - but I hope to post more about other aspects of my life as well! I recently started a little flower company called The Bloom Bar! I am so excited about it! I hope to be able to share tips on here about floral arranging, sharing my work with you guys, and other things I find so fun! I find myself very domestic (is that anti-feminist for me to refer to myself like that?) in the way that I love cooking, I love cleaning, I love taking care of people, and I love creating and improving on a comfy and adorable home! So I hope to share my ideas, tips and pointers on here!

I hope you all enjoy my new approach!
