<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, I bake bread sometimes, now. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is SUPER easy if you follow <a href="http://www.frugallivingnw.com/frugal-homemaking/amazing-no-knead-bread-step-by-step-recipe/" target="_blank">this recipe</a>, and it makes you look like one of those amazing people who totally has it all together so much so that they have time to bake their own bread. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am not really one of those people but it is fun to occasionally appear that way (this recipe requires 5 minutes of hands on time). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And nothing smells quite as homey and cozy as having bread baking in your house. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I like to add a some fresh rosemary to my dough before baking and I give the bread a nice shellacking of olive oil for the last 20 minutes of baking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It comes out crusty and golden on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside every time!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Happy 8th Birthday to my very best buddy, Goalie! <br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am so lucky to have this a sweet little guy in my life. He sticks with me through thick and thin with his happy personality, cute little face, and wagging tail, and all he ever ask for in return is a tummy rub and a little bit of the crispy skin when I roast chicken.</span></div>

This frothy beverage, which I enjoyed at Mintwood Place while welcoming home a friend, was picked off of the menu because I wanted to roar. Cocktails reached their heyday in the 20's and I reached mine just before dinner.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lucy and I accidentally wore coordinating outfits over the weekend. I was at a fantastic shower brunch with my besties at <a href="http://www.palmanyc.com/" target="_blank">this gorgeous restaurant</a> in the West Villge, and Lucy and her Daddy were playing with friends in Hoboken. That morning, I dressed her the world's cutest skinny jeans and an adorable little sweater with a onesie underneath. When we arrived back from brunch, Lucy had gotten a bit hot so Patton took off her sweater and her leopard onesie matched my leopard pants. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My friends all thought it was cute, but I am not sure... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">coordinating Mommy/baby outfits... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">do or don't?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://lemonsandanchovies.com/2013/01/poached-cod-and-egg-over-rice/#more-" target="_blank">This recipe</a> (and beautifully styled photos) looked so yummy, I just had to try my own version. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I made a few tweaks like using microwavable basmati rice, instead of poaching the cod I steamed it, I soft boiled the eggs in a little less than an inch of boiling water for exactly 6 minutes... they come out perfect everytime! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The end result was beautiful, delicious and healthy.</span></div>

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Django_Unchained" target="_blank"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/8b/Django_Unchained_Poster.jpg/220px-Django_Unchained_Poster.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So last weekend, Patton and I went to see the wildly entertaining <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1853728/?ref_=sr_1" target="_blank">Django Unchained</a></i>. The movie was nearly three hours long, but it was so good with no parts that dragged that it it didn't seem that long at all. All the acting was incredible, but <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christoph_Waltz" target="_blank">Christoph Waltz </a>was outstanding... as funny and lovable in this, as he was funny and terrifying in <i><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361748/" target="_blank">Inglorious Basterds</a></i>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Historically, my hubby always ends up taking a bathroom break that somehow coincides with the most exciting/poignant/meaningful/integral part of the movie, and then comes back from the bathroom and I have to whisper a little summary to get him caught up on what he missed so he can understand the rest of the movie. Luckily, before we saw <i><a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/django_unchained_2012/quotes/" target="_blank">Django</a></i>, I downloaded this awesome app that I read about in some magazine (<a href="http://theconcernsofmindykaling.com/" target="_blank">Mindy Kaling</a> was recommending it so i figured it must be good!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><a href="http://runpee.com/" target="_blank">RunPee</a>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://uptill1.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/runpee.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is completely awesome. It was created by and is maintained by a family. They go, watch the movie, pinpoint the best time to run to the bathroom including the minute mark, and the line of dialogue or onscreen action that is your cue to run to the bathroom. It provides a number of minutes you have to use the bathroom and get back to your seat in the theater, as well as a timer to start as you leave the theater. While you are in the bathroom, you can read the summary of what is happening, and you'll rejoin the movie knowing exactly what is going on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Brilliant and totally useful!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is another <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">pinterest</a> inspired recipe and was a big hit with my hubby at breakfast a few weeks ago.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-8cJ-iyHGP0k/UPwXc8P3ykI/AAAAAAAAnFY/wfiJWnjNvjU/s512/20130120_111023.jpg" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Simply halve an avocado and remove the pit. Crack an egg into each half, place the avocado eggs onto a baking sheet, and bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until the eggs look done to your liking. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper. I topped ours with crumbled bacon, grape tomatoes, green onions, and red cabbage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have to say, these were super delicious and extremely filling.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">PS... the pretty plate is part of <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/category/dinnerware/home-tabletop-dinnerware.jsp" target="_blank">a beautiful set</a> that I received as a gift from my secret santa this Christmas... thanks, Jill!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Remember those elementary school Valentine's parties, where everyone would decorate a shoe box mailbox, and deliver Valentines to each classmate while eating sugar cookies and conversation hearts? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I always loved those. If were in second grade again, I am pretty sure I'd be handing out these cute Valentine's from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-fikKOxORsVg/UQCWEMyvADI/AAAAAAAAnFU/dmQFPkag8jc/s512/20130123_194813.jpg" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After last week's<a href="http://harborlove.blogspot.com/2013/01/bake-these-cookies-immediately.html" target="_blank"> ultra indulgent cookie post,</a> I figured I should give you all a healthy recipe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This one is fast and so delicious.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lemon Baked Cod over Rainbow Salad</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Drizzle a 5 oz piece of cod with olive oil and the juice of half a lemon. Place a lemon wheel on top of your fish and bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">While your fish is cooking, grab all your most colorful veggies. I used purple cabbage, baby red, orange, and yellow peppers, radishes, tomatoes, red onions, and cucumbers.You can use whatever veggies you like... just make sure they are crunchy and vibrantly colorful. Chop them all up and toss with a bit of red wine vinaigrette, salt and pepper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The fish should be cooked after about 6 minutes, and is the perfect topper to this colorful, delicious, and nutritious salad.</span></div>
