Me, myself, and I and everyone else inspiring Me

Anita Silva - the Twine of the bunch

      It goes without saying that I am late for things and that's just me although, I try to make up for that with my super lengthy stories and cooking. So please excuse my tardiness. Since this is my first post I will make it short and sweet, like me. Just a little "how do ya do?" so we can break the ice and move on to the good and tasty stuff a.k.a. FOOD. With a cool iPad in tow I have found this new fondness for staying organized, connected, and in the know all within a little tablet. I also have yet another way to document the things that get me all sorts of excited...like food. :) Plus, now I can get in touch with you that much easier to make the inspirations more fluid.






So, first off, Hello there! I am looking forward to sharing random stories that may inspire you, recipes that have been boyfriend and roommate tested and approved, and some creative juices through this blog with my dear friends, Katie and Crystal.

Healthier option -- Mediterranean Barley Salad

Get your appetites ready for some unique and health conscious recipe items with a few guilty pleasures along the way.

Sweetier & guiltier option -- Strawberry cream cheese cinnamon french toast (heart shaped, of course)

And now to say 'tchau for now" with my introduction: I read the back of a Papyrus card with the description of the hummingbird which states:

"Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love, joy, and celebration. The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation." 

The second blogger arrives!

by Crystal

Hello everyone! My name is Crystal, and I'm going to apologize upfront that my first post on our newborn blog will not be as creative and imaginative as our friend Katie's have been so far. (Seriously, Katie - you're going to make us look bad if you keep up with this ridiculously awesome ideas!) Allow me to give you a glimpse of how my life has looked for the past two months...

...Crazy, right?! I can assure you I am not a homeless person, but I have been living out of boxes (which I would not recommend doing if you don't have to - a word to the wise). A few months ago, I packed up my life in LA and moved to a small town in Virginia. Why, you ask?

Meet the love of my life and husband-to-be, Eric. He moved last June for work, and I apparently can't live without this guy. Anyway, now that we've finally moved into our new and improved apartment, that means there will be plenty of opportunities for some projects! And I promise, I will share them with you all. 

I'm very excited to have a place to share with two of my favorite people (and hopefully other interested parties) where we can chronicle our lives and creations. Let the journey begin!!
