Last night, our dining room got a facelift. Say hello to our new green apple light!!

Guess what I did this evening? COOKED DINNER!! I have been in somewhat of a long food rut. Hard to believe coming from a food blogger and all (although I do consider this much more of a lifestyle blog than food these days anyways ) But with the last year being filled with classes and [...]
