I went to the beach with my two favorite girls...My friend Cait and my black lab Buca!

Coffee, the beach, and my favorite puppy. Couldn't ask for a better day!

End result.. is one tired little bear <3

Steak Chicken and Veggie Skewers

This is a yummy and healthy recipe for the upcoming grill season!

It is chicken, steak, and mixed veggie skewers!

It is super easy recipe that tastes great!

My favorite part of this recipe is how colorful it is. I love it!

Start off by cutting all your veggies into bite sized pieces.

(I like to keep the tomatoes whole because they wont fall apart when you grill them)

You can use any veggies you want but the veggies I chose are:

zucchini, tomatoes, yellow peppers, green peppers, broccoli, red onion, and sweet onion

(Also the zucchini tends to fall off easy too if you cut them too small so I cut them in half moons and they stay on perfectly)

Also cut your chicken and steak into bit sized pieces.

(You can use any steak you choose, but I think skirt steak is delicious in this recipe)

I also marinated the chicken and steak in a mix of teriyakki and sweet and sour sauce.

These are the sauces I mixed together:

Next start making your skewers! You can put them on in any way that you want!

Now put them on a hot grill!

They dont take too long to grill. Just grill them until everything looks crispy and the meat is done!

Now just take them off the grill and enjoy! You can serve them with rice or potatoes.

Today I paired them with roasted potatoes with fresh herbs from my herb garden!

Enjoy!

Coffee Break

I am an obsessive coffee drinker and I cant live without it.

There is just nothing like sitting down with a nice hot cup of coffee.

Especially in the afternoon. When 2:00 rolls around

I cant wait to make it and sit down and have a cup of coffee with my mom.

It is my favorite part of the day :)

This is my favorite mug I bought Crate and Barrel.

healthy and pretty breakfast

Today I made a really yummy breakfast that also happened to look pretty!

I think how your food looks is just as important as how it tastes because it makes you want to eat it!

I made a little yogurt parfait.

It is made with greek yogurt, blueberries, walnuts, and kiwi

Enjoy!

white on white

I am obsessed with things looking fresh and clean.

When things are white it seems to have that appeal.

White on white with occassional pops of color is my favorite look.

 

 

 

 

I could go on with this for days!

But ill stop! :)

Some Beach, Somewhere

Today all I have been able to think about is being on a BEACH.

I live about 10 minutes away from a New Jersey beach but it has not been very nice out this week.

In May I  am going to Cayman Islands with my boyfriend, brother, and his girlfriend and I cannot wait! We are going in 3 weeks and I just am so excited!

All I want to do is be in crystal clear water, with a drink in my hand.

Here are some pictures that got me wishing I was on a beach right now!!

7 mile beach, Cayman Islands (where we will be staying)

Here is a picture of me at Trunk Bay in St. John in the US Virgin Islands last year.

It was so beautiful.

Cant Wait!

Be Happy

Love, Stephany
