Canning time again

And boy have we been busy! Can't wait to eat all the deliciousness this winter ;)

Lonestar Taqueria

The other night we tried out Lonestar Taqueria.  It was muy bueno!

Gardening Fools

This year we got right on planting our garden, so that we would have a long summer full of lots of yummy veggies.  Since the year we got married we have had a garden and I have to say it is one of my favorite traditions Brian and I have about summer and about having my own house. 

For my birthday this year I got a pressure canner so I will be using that to can our veggies from the garden, and salsa til my little hearts content :)

Brian took quite a few evenings and made us the best drip system ever in the garden and I appreciate that more than words can tell because that means I don't have to go out and water it by hand every day yay! 

I am excited to see it grow a few more months because it already looks amazing and is growing so quick! 

Cupcake run with Courty

Cakewalk bakery downtown SLC.  It is a vegan cupcake shop with gluten free cupcakes.  We discovered this after we had eaten a few already.  You would never know.  They are scrumptious. 

{ 3 year anniversary getaway }

Brian surprised me by taking us up to Park city for our { 3 } anniversary. I like the way we do our anniversaries, it is kind of fun. Brian plans the odd years and I do the even ones. So far he has out done me a little but I don't mind :)

We had dinner at an { amazing } steakhouse called Ruth's Chris. The food was incredibly delicious and as always we ate it all up! I swear it was the best steak I have ever had. I am already craving another one but I have a feeling it will be a while before we get to go there again.

I { seriously } can't believe three years has come and gone. We had so much fun together just being alone, with no cell phones, hooray!, and getting to talk and laugh about all our memories together over the years.

I am really glad we ended up together and that my life has ended up where it currently is. I genuinely wouldn't change a thing, and he is a huge part of that. I hope the next bunch of years don't go as quick, but I guess time flies when your having fun. . .

Thanks for the fabulous weekend love. I kinda wish every day was our anniversary so I could have you all to myself :)

{ Cinco de cupcake }

Cinco means five right? So that means I can have five cupcakes? Thought so :)

{ Birthday curry }

This little tot just turned the big 20! I can hardly believe my eyes how quickly she has grown up! And no longer a teenager!

I took her out to lunch for her birthday and what do you think she wanted to eat?! CURRY!!! Oh it makes me laugh how we have rubbed off on everyone our Indian ways of eating! Haha! It was delightful to say the least and we had a riot.

I adore you so much Courty! I hope your 20th year is incredible! You are too special to put into words.xoxo

{ German sunday }

On Sunday we roasted German bratwurst over the fire. I seriously have had a hankering for summer and cookouts like this so I was in heaven. I swear that if I closed my eyes I would be sitting around a campfire at bear lake. I wish. If you have never cooked bratwurst over the fire before you are { seriously } missing out.

{ St. George and the Bear Paw }

I have a special place in my heart for this little town. I went to Dixie State College in St. George for two years after high school, and in some ways this place feels like a second home to me. I have so many memories here and it was fun to share lots of those with Brian. We skipped town for a wedding and were welcomed with the sun! I was excited because back in salt lake the weather seems confused what season it is.



My roommates and I used to brunch at this amazing place called the Bear Paw. I forgot how huge the portions were and we weren't able to even finish half of it. As always it was delicious!

{ would you like fries with that? }

In and out burger opened in our neighborhood during the summer last year. We finally braved the crowds { you should see how many people actually wait in line } and got a burger. The night we went the power was out in our city so we decided to go there for dinner. Yum-o!

{ Fancy schmancy }

I of course am referring to the desserts we ate in Vegas. Not me dressed up to eat them all! But if you thought we were both fancy I could easily forgive that . . . easy mistake :)

{ Room service }

One sleepy morning in Vegas we ordered room service. Spendy, but oh so worth it. I would be lying if I said we didn't polish it ALL OFF :)

{ The Vertical Diner }

To my delight. . . Court and I are making this sisterly lunch thing a monthly occurrence. Today was her choice and she picked a tiny vegan diner. Her and I are both NOT vegan but gave it a whirl anyways and were pleasantly surprised. Our food was { incredible & healthy } and it was a super upbeat place to go. Sure do love this girl and our new tradition. If you had to guess if we had a blast in my one hour lunch break. . .

You would be correct
