At long last, it looks like spring weather is here to stay. I packed away my sweaters yesterday and bid hello to my spring dresses. We are celebrating the season with allergy tablets and plenty of iced coffee.
How on earth is it almost May?! I am feeling a little overwhelmed by the speed at which this year is passing.
Target's newest home collection has me smitten. I really want to take home every single piece of jewel-toned loveliness. I seriously have to walk with my eyes diverted and remember I am just there for kombucha.
See that plate of chicken and waffles? It was covered in buffalo sauce and maple syrup. Kind of the best breakfast plate ever. Not to worry, it is already on my list of recipes to recreate.
I think cleaning my dishwasher has now been added to my list of spring chores.
Dying to try these tacos!! I am a queso fanatic.
Are you planning on baking anything this weekend?? Such as these banana bread cinnamon rolls?
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Pedantic Foodie

Hi, friends. How are you? Should we talk about the humidity? No, let’s ignore the general dampness of our clothes and make something together.
We are exactly four days away from our little love’s delivery so I decided that it was about time I shared a glimpse of our nursery.
In all the manic that is our world right now, the simple pleasures of life have become all the more valuable to me. Pleasures of warm days, patios, tall glasses of lime-spiked ice tea, and a recklessly indulgent snack that tastes of summer bring a sense of familiarity to an altogether unfamiliar existence.

I love that my generation has taken a hold of snacks and made them into not only a socially-acceptable mode of daily nutrition but a hallowed one. If you're not entirely sure of the current snack pseudonyms, see; charcuterie, tapas, tastings, flights…
