The other night I had a couple friends over for dinner and turned to Pinterest for menu inspiration.
I used this as my inspiration for the main dish
 But I served it on top of pasta and instead of Panko bread crumbs I made my own. And I use my favorite pre-made tomato sauce to cut down on prep time. So so delicious.
I also made this as a side dish.
  I also added broccoli and use a balsamic glaze instead of a regular balsamic vinaigrette. It was heavenly.
Then for dessert, I made these.
For these, I never even clicked the recipe link on Pinterest but the picture gave me a perfect jumping point. I bought Pilsbury crescent rolls put a scoop of Nutella in each one. Rolled it up and rolled it in cinnamon and sugar and then baked according to the package. Easily, one of the best things I’ve ever tasted and SO simple!

I highly, highly suggest any of these three dishes. I’m hungry just thinking about them. 

Do you use pinterest for dinner ideas? It might be one of my favorites uses of the incredible website. If you don’t have a pinterest account for some reason, let me know and I’ll send over an invitation ASAP. It is amazing.

And thank you to all of you about the sweet words regarding my e-design ventures! I am so looking forward to working with some of you.

The real wedding planning for me officially began yesterday (so much fun)! So today I am going to share the one thing I know for sure: my color scheme. Its super unusual and different and unexpected…
WHITE. 
Lots and lots of it. Would never have guessed right? A little bit of metallics and greys mixed in, but otherwise, all white. I just love how classic and textural it is.
White Cake
 And white flowers

both are definite musts for me.
What are your favorite wedding color schemes?

Here are some random things I wanted to share with you on this lovely Monday…
A couple fun little projects I’m working on: 

My mom’s new Amanda Talley paintings in her office!! Obsessed.
And the most humongous pieces of cake I’ve ever seen. Shared by 4 people we barely put a dent in it
Hope you had a great weekend! xoxo

instead of posting some pretty room or article of clothing, i am posting a beautiful piece of food. eating healthy is boring. it usually lasts about 48 hours for me. oops.

and on this gloomy, grey monday, i would rather be eating cupcakes than salad. and MUCH rather stay in bed (especially if it looked as inviting as this one) then work on a massive drafting project i have.

4 more days until the weekend!

i am not a yogurt fan. i dont like the tart, sour flavor. so, ive never been a pinkberry fan either. dont even like the smell. but while in nyc, i decided to give the new chocolate flavor a try. i love it. want it twice a day, everyday. please open in chicago.

thank you.

Today was my first time at Fred’s Chicago. It was delish. Liked the atmosphere even better than the one in NYC. So if you’re looking for $100 lunch, this is the place.
