Savory is my middle name

Right now, I’m craving all things savory. I’m usually on a permanent sugar induced diabetic coma quest, but every once in a while the tides turn and well you get the picture. Here’s some delicious finds I found on Pinterest [click on the images to go to the original source.]

pepper jack grilled cheese sandwich

prosciutto wrapped truffle fries

chocolate bacon almond butter bananas

jalapeno cheddar chicken meatball sandwiches

lemon ricotta pasta with peas and seared scallops

Yum!

For all of you wonderful Mac users who get a .cpgz file – I’ve been informed Springy (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/springy.html) fixes this problem.

color inspiration // Worth It

I’ve been experimenting with new color palette layouts. Today I’m using one from Pugly Pixel. Image from Pinterest. I guess you can say that right now I’m attracted to a riot of colors… it’s that time of the month, well the week before and I’m one of the crazy people who have excessive & belligerent hormones, so there you go.

Some recent sweet pins
