Apple Crisp
October 1, 2013
When trying to decide what kind of apple desert I wanted to make after going apple picking I looked at a few options. Apple pie almost beat out the crisp but after a vote from my sisters and boyfriend, the verdict was ultimately apple crisp. I was pleased with this choice as I definitely do not consider myself much of a baker and I would have been nervous about making my first pie from scratch (I have pie dough chilling in the fridge but have yet to attempt the actual pie). I figured that apple crisp would be simple but still effective as who doesn’t like the crunchy, warm cinnamon flavours that apple crisp lends to your taste buds? I found this recipe on Martha Stewart’s website and it was a complete winner. The crisp was just that…crisp, brown sugary and buttery, a flavour that blended so well on top of the warm apples and cinnamon. This recipe is now going to be my go to for an easy (well mostly easy) fall dessert. Yet, I am still hoping to get around to that pie (and caramel apples) in the next couple of weeks!
Stairway to Casual
July 11, 2013I wore this outfit to brunch at the market and then bicycle riding (that never happened) a couple of weeks ago and wasn’t actually planning on taking pictures in it for a post. However, this was the day that I received my camera from my boyfriend so I figured I’d test it out. We ended up finding a cool staircase and palettes behind the seaport market and grabbed a few shots. I last wore this top here, but have since found it to be a staple in my summertime wardrobe. Wearing it with everything from jeans to a flouncy skirt and even over a casual maxi dress.
