Warm cheesy and slightly garlicky pizza on French bread topped with grape tomatoes and chiffonade basil for a simple but delicious meal. This French bread pizza is great for days when you don’t feel like making dinner.
What to eat when you’re feeling lazy? French bread pizza, of course. =)
Penne pasta mixed with sweet mango, fresh strawberries, and creamy avocado in every bite and drizzled with strawberry balsamic vinaigrette. This pasta salad is light and delicious, perfect for a spring or summer meal.
This refreshing summer pasta salad is exactly what I needed after partying this weekend.
Creamy avocado dip with sweet corn and edamame in every bite. This healthy, simple to make dip is perfect alone or accompanied with chips for a late afternoon snack or an appetizer at a party.
Best. Dip. EVER.
Which, of course, means that I’m bringing this dip to Fiesta Friday!
A few weeks ago, Emily from Flavor Crazed nominated me and my blog for the Butterfly Light Award, which is given to people who spread light or positivity through their blog posts. I haven’t had the chance to write the posts for this award until today so it is a little bit delayed. Emily has a wonderful blog filled with recipes, photographs, stories, and poetry. I especially love her essential oils section. If you have the chance, check out her blog at Flavor Crazed.
Campanelle pasta with succulent shrimp, mushrooms, and zucchini tossed in a creamy Cajun seasoned Marsala wine sauce. A delicious quick and easy recipe that’s perfect for lunch or dinner.
Have I mentioned that I love pasta? It feels like it’s been forever since I posted a pasta recipe so I hope you’ll enjoy this one =)
It’s been one of those weeks… The kitchen pipe burst, water spilled everywhere, and it’s taking awhile for the landlord to fix the issue…
But anyway, how was everyone’s Mother’s Day weekend? This post comes a little late but I’ve been so busy these last few days I haven’t had time to write. On top of that, it’s been soo hot in San Francisco. I don’t want to cook or do anything that generates heat. All I want to do is eat cold watermelon and drink icy water.
I’ll leave you with photos of my weekend and parts of my #100HappyDays week. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen some of these photos already. =)
We have guests from Australia visiting. And since we live in San Francisco, we played tour guides to San Francisco’s famous landmarks. Although to be honest, I was playing the part of the tourist.
We visited the Golden Gate Bridge to take pictures. Living in SF, I rarely do touristy activities like visiting the bridge, or Fisherman’s Wharf, or Chinatown. I avoid these places because it’s too crowded.
Slices of fresh strawberries and bananas layered with vanilla pudding and graham cracker crumbs for a simple yet delicious no bake dessert in a jar, a slight twist to the classic banana pudding pie.
I hope you guys had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend filled with lots of fun surprises and delicious foods, especially for all the mothers out there. I’ll share some of my weekend photos in another one of my “Life of a Wallflower” posts. =)
Have I mentioned that I am obsessed with desserts in jar? They’re so cute!
A healthy salad filled with creamy avocado, edamame, sweet corn, basil, and diced tomatoes and drizzled with strawberry balsamic vinaigrette. Quick and easy and oh so very delicious, this salad is perfect as a starter to any meal.
Happy Mother’s Day! I hope you have a wonderful day =)
Since it’s Mother’s Day, we need to make something special.
Sweet strawberries blended with balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, olive oil, sugar and a pinch of salt for a tasty salad dressing perfect for the spring and summer seasons.
Seriously one of the best dressings ever. You have to try it.
French toast baked with maple syrup, vanilla almond milk, and slices of almonds then topped with bananas and strawberries. Simple to make and very delicious, this recipe is perfect for breakfast on the weekends.
It’s already the second week of May. Isn’t it crazy how fast time flies by?
This Sunday is Mother’s Day. What better way to start the day than by making a special brunch?
And as it’s Friday, I decided to participate in my first ever Fiesta Friday. Here, you can find linkups from different bloggers. If you haven’t been to Novice Gardener’s blog, you should definitely stop by.
I have just the recipe for both events. =)
