3. My brother and sister-in-law know me so well. They brought me home some awesome gifts from the Dominican Republic. I’ve already used almost all of the honey!

7. I’ve been making pickles like crazy lately! So far, I’ve made a sweet ginger batch, and a spicy banana pepper and red pepper flavored batch. I definitely prefer the sweeter flavored pickles.

8. I received this candle as a gift from someone at my church. It smells amazing and I’m kind of depressed that it’s a limited edition candle.

9. Hey. It’s Felix.

10. Ear plugs. Random, right?! Well, I live in a split-level house with 3 family members and four pets. Everyone in my family is on a different sleep schedule and sometimes it can get loud at night. So, I bought ear plugs and they work really, really well. Now my parent’s are afraid I’ll sleep through a fire alarm or tornado.

11. I love this boy.

12. Okay, one more photo of Brandy. She’s just too cute!

Recent Eats

Hey.
a12
So, the last time I posted about my “recent eats” was in March. Not acceptable! I became busy during the last month of school and throughout my internship, so photographing food was the last thing on my mind.

Well, I have food photos now. Here are my recent eats!

a1
Pancakes galore.

a2
America on a plate.

a5
Dipping/Snack plate. Gotta love fresh corn!

a6
Taco, kale, mushrooms, and snap peas.

a7
My uncle owns a lot of livestock, and he gave my family some fresh beef, bacon, and pork sausage. So I made bacon-topped meatloaf.

a8
Grilled shrimp. Potato kebabs. Mushroom kebabs. Yum.

a9
I had too much time on my hands on Saturday and I tried to be really artsy with my food.

a10
Fried zucchini. I had to buy this zucchini, but if all goes well, my garden will produce more zucchini than I can handle. What a wonderful problem to have 😉

a13
Lettuce from my garden. Makes me so happy.

Now onto the cookies I’ve been testing out for my brother’s wedding in July…

a3
Peanut butter, pretzel, and milk chocolate chip cookies. YES.

a4
Oatmeal raisin cookies. Can’t go wrong with a classic.

a11
Lemon rings. I made half of the batch into rings and decided they were ugly, so I made half the batch into balls. I just don’t know. I think I might try a better looking lemon cookie recipe. Does anyone have a really good lemon cookie recipe?!

Well, that’s all the foodie pictures I have for now.

This week I get to do more baking because I’m working in the kitchen at my church for Vacation Bible School (also known as VBS) this week. Many of the women who work in the kitchen during VBS are older and “burned out,” so they’re training me to be in charge of the kitchen duties next year. Yikes! Responsibility!
