Favorite Pins From This Week

I spend a little too much time on Pinterest, i'll admit that. So I finally figured that if i'm putting in all of that time, I might as well organize my favorite finds into a weekly blog post!

1. Favorite Recipe - Summer Spaghetti 
^I love pasta and this is a great way to make it a little lighter for the summer time! Bonus - it's a super easy recipe to make for a weeknight when you don't feel like cooking.








































2. Favorite Sweet Treat - Lofthouse cookie knock off recipe
^ These are the cookies you can buy at Target and Giant and are so soft and yummy. I'm obsessed with them and can easily eat the entire package in a day. I can't wait to try to make them myself - to then eat the entire batch in a day.







































3. Favorite DIY - Make your own party pom-poms
^I'm planning a bridal shower and think that this would be the perfect inexpensive decoration to help add some color to the festivities!








































4. Favorite Printable - You're a Peach
^I love switching out the pictures that are in frames around our house. If I was constantly buying new pictures, this could get super expensive. Instead I just find adorable and fun graphic printables that I can add in to the frames. This fun saying is currently displayed on my entrance table and makes me smile every time I grab my keys.







































5. Favorite Style Item - Mint colored Vans sneakers
^As soon as I saw these vans sneakers making their way around Pinterest, I knew that I had to have them. I've been looking for a cute pair of sneakers that go with skinny jeans to wear when we run errands {like to Home Depot - because ballet flats just don't cut it there} I bought them later that day and can't wait until they arrive! {side note, these will be my first sneakers that i've owned since high school - running shoes not included}








An Easy Weeknight Recipe


After this past week in DC hitting the mid 80's (which I love! reminds me of Florida) the last thing I wanted to do when I got home is make a hot dinner. Enter lettuce wraps. This is one of my go to recipes in the summer time and takes about 20 minutes to make which equals the perfect weeknight meal. 

Ingredients: 

^Butter/Boston bib lettuce 
^Cabbage (I mix mine with a little spicy ranch style dressing)
^Cucumber mango salsa (super easy, I just use cucumber, mango, red onion, lime juice and cilantro)
^Grilled chicken
^Avocado
^ Optional: white wine (I love: Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc) 

It's pretty much an assemble as you go like tacos and the best part is that it's gluten free!
