Cheddar Dill Scones


It's one of those days where all I want to do is curl up on the couch with a blanket and watch movies all day. This weather (cold and rainy) is perfect for warm comfort food. I came across this recipe for Cheddar-Dill Scones on Emily's blog, CupcakesandCashmere, and I cannot wait to go home to make them tonight.

Ready for Fall

I think I am finally ready for fall. It was a great summer, but I'm looking forward to pulling out my sweaters, boots and wearing cute fall outfits. Here's to shorter days and hearty meals!

Explore Oregon

Portland Monthly has done it again! I mentioned in one of my earlier posts that whenever I read the magazine, I am inspired to get out, and explore the lovely city of Portland. Well, this month, they feature 30 of the lesser-known locations within Oregon that should not be missed. From the relaxing emptiness of southeastern Oregon to the calm and quiet Oregon Coast, there are many parts of Oregon to explore! Reading the magazine made me realize that I need to get out more and explore Oregon, beyond my little bubble of Portland. I feel that I am finally at that age where I can enjoy and appreciate beautiful scenery. And it's just the right time to explore.

The issue truly captures the beauty and naturalness of Oregon.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies

I have tomorrow (Friday) off, which means I have a much needed 3-day weekend and I CANNOT wait. I'm planning on baking these Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownies. A mixture of cookies and brownies- yummy!

Weekend Recap

Happy Monday! How was the weekend? Mine was quite relaxing. I spent Friday night with my girlfriends, Saturday with my family and Sunday was filled with errands and ended with a celebration for one of my bestest friend's at OBA! If you've never been to OBA, you must go now! It is that good and their happy hour is even better- great food and perfect drinks!


I would love to hear about your weekend- anything exciting to share?!
