We are super excited to see this

Sultry Swedish Soul Singer, LEON, at 

Bonnaroo this year. Her Sultry Voice

immediately drew us into her music. Check

out her EP and New Music on Spotify and Itunes!

cauliflower tortillas

Cauliflower has become sort of an obsession 

of ours lately in the kitchen. Can you blame us?

It's such a diverse vegetable, and after the

craze of Paleo, more and more recipes have

surfaced using cauliflower as a substitue for

many carb-heavy foods.

We have tried a lot of them, some successfully

and some we are still working out the kinks of.

But this cauliflower tortilla recipe, we nailed the first

try, and we were so surprised by how good

they tasted (and truthfully how well they stayed together).

They may not LOOK very pretty,

but don't let that fool you from the taste.

You will need:

1 a head of cauliflower riced or 

2 cups riced and packed
2 eggs
salt and pepper to taste

Before you begin, start by

 preheating the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Also, chop up your cauliflower, or follow the instructions on your 

package, and steam.

If you did not but the already-riced cauliflower

packaged,  place your head of chopped cauliflower in a 

food processor and rice

. (Once it's riced measure it to make sure you have 2 cups packed.)

Place riced cauliflower in bowl and microwave for 2

 minutes and stir, then another two minutes and stir again then 

place in a dish towel and squeeze excess water out as hard as you can.

You want to remove as MUCH water as possible.

Place drained cauliflower back in bowl and add two eggs, 

salt and pepper and mix well. It will be a tad runny, but you

don't want it to be liquid.

Take a handful of your mixture and spread them in

circle like shapes on your parchment paper.

Place in the oven for 10 minutes, then removed them

from the oven, flip them, and continue to

bake for another 7 minutes. Then remove from oven

and allow them to cool.

Then, add your favorite toppings and fillings

and enjoy!

Tunesday; Love

We had a bit of a strange encounter this past weekend.

Friday at work, for some reason, we started talking about

Lana Del Rey and how we wished she would do another

tour and release new music. -- We have seen her

live twice and it just isn't enough.

Well, ask and you shall recieve! To our surprise,

when we opened up our Spotify on Saturday, what 

did we see, but a new single, Love, by LDR. 

It's mesmerizing. It may just be a single, but

our wishful thinking is hoping it's just one

of many more to come soon <3

Strawberry Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich

Nothing quite says "I love you" like

cake + ice cream!

About a year ago we found this cute,

little vintage cast iron heart-shape dish, and are finally

finding the perfect time to use it: Galentines' Day!

We decided to treat our Gal-Pals this year with

strawberry-vanilla ice cream sandwiches.

They were really easy to make and taste AMAZING!

What you need:

1 box of Betty Crocker strawberry cake mix

Vanilla ice cream

Heart Shaped baking pan

(Similar HERE)

How to make:

Follow the directions on the cake mix to make your cake

batter. Then, spray your baking pan and pour the cake batter

into each shape. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until

thoroughly baked. Remove from the oven, and pan and

allow to cool.

Take a knife and shave the bottoms of your hearts to even

them out. Then take your ice cream and spread it evenly between

two heart slices. It may be easier to work with ice cream if you 

allow it to sit out for a minute or two to let it soften.

 Icing is optional, but it certainly adds a little something

extra... and it's tasty!

Happy Gal-entine's Day!

Mini Deep Dish Pizzas

 Happy National Pizza Day!

 We loved the idea of personal pan pizzas but took

 it up a notch--Chicago-Style deep dish. However, we added some

 St. Louis touches.We live in the neighborhood "The Hill,"

 which is nationally known for it's authentic Italian restaurants,

 markets and people. The pizza sauce we chose for this recipe

 is from "The Hill" and we recommend this area to all visitors.

 This recipe is simple and super quick, twenty minutes tops.

Enjoy!

What you'll need:

crescent rolls

shredded cheese

pizza sauce

toppings of your choice

oregano

muffin tin

How to:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and grease the muffin pan.

 Shape the crescent roll pieces into cup of the tin. Use a

 tablespoon to spread the sauce in the crescent cup. Add your

 ingredients and top with cheese. Bake for 7-10 minutes and top

 off with some oregano.

 Happy National Pizza Day!

Enjoy!

Rose Gold + Marble Desk DIY

Searching for a glam desk within your budget is a lot more

difficult then we thought. We’re talking $900 outta budget. It’s

especially more difficult when you have something very specific

in mind. Our quest initially started out looking for something

in the realm of white and gold. That instantly took us down

a dark path of the “perfect” desk with an imperfect price tag.

After weeks of searching (we also have serious FOBO:

fear of better options), we decided, if you can’t

find it, make it yourself!

We did some research and found out that, a. we changed

Our minds on style (shocking) and b. it’s very easy to DIY

your desk to suite your style.  

We landed on Rose Gold + Marble, and after finding a desk

In our budget, we decided to go for it!

We bought a couple cans of metallic spray paint,

ordered our marble contact paper on Amazon Prime (cause, addicts)

and went to town!

 

Obligatory before picture of the space and desk.

Before you assemble your desk, you want to make

sure you spray paint all the hardware and let it dry.

This is the part where it can get sticky (pun intended) so we 

are including the video (below the material images)
 we followed for application of your 

contact/adhesive paper to your top.

Here are all the materials you will need prior:

Marble Adhesive Video Tutorial

When you are done prepping all your pieces,
it's time to assemble!

We LOVE the way it turned out. We can't
believe how good the marble contact
paper looks!

Now that the desk is complete, time to
work on the rest of the space!

Hope you found a little inspiration today!

Happy DIY-ing!
