More iPhone Cases

I'm still in need 

of an iPhone case. 

Everyday I go without one 

is a day I  fear 

that I will drop my phone 

and it will crack...

or break...

or shatter into 

a million pieces.

Hence the reason 

I am obsessed with these...

Fall Nail Colors

A friend asked me the other day 

what my favorite nail colors 

for the fall were.

Here are three 

that are in constant rotation 

on my fingers...

Q & A

I am not that diligent

when it comes to keeping up

with my journal.

Well, lets be honest...

I don't even know

where my journal is

or if I still even have one.

But I think 

if I had this journal...

I would be excited 

to write in it 

everyday.

Goat Cheese & Leek Crostini

Two things I love:

Goat Cheese & Leeks...

Which made this Crostini completely divine. 

Goat Cheese & Leek Crostini
Adapted from Smitten Kitchen


3 leeks, cut lengthwise and white and pale green parts sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 tbsp butter 
olive oil
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper 
6 slices of baguette
2 ounces goat cheese crumbled


1. Heat a large skillet over medium. Once hot, add butter and olive oil and once they’re fully melted and a bit sizzly, add the leek slices. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid and cook leeks for 25 minutes, stirring them occasionally. 

2. While leeks cook, brush bread slices with olive oil.  Run under broiler until lightly toasted. 

3. Once leeks are done cooking, spread the goat cheese on top of the toast and sprinkle with caramelized leeks.

Pear Upside Down Cake

Fall Pears are in season!

So here is a 

delicious recipe 

that includes pears.

Pear Upside Down Cake!

(it will blow your mind...it is that good)

Pear Upside Down Cake

Adapted from Martha Stewart

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar

2 ripe pears, peeled and cored

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

1. Make the topping: Melt butter in a small pot over medium heat. Add brown sugar, stirring until dissolved. 

2. Pour butter and sugar mixture into a cake pan and swirl to coat the bottom. Cut pears into 1/4-inch-thick wedges, and arrange them in a circular pattern over the brown-sugar mixture to cover completely; set aside.

3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 

4. Make the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
 

5. In a second bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. 

6. Add vanilla extract; beat to combine. 

7. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating to combine.

8. Alternating with the milk, gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, and mix, just until the flour is incorporated.
 

9. In a separate bowl, beat reserved egg whites and the cream of tartar with a hand mixer until stiff. 

10. Using a rubber spatula, fold egg whites into the batter. 

11. Transfer to cake pan by carefully spreading the batter evenly, as to not disturb the pears.
 

12. Bake until well browned on top and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. 

13. Run a knife around inside of pan, and immediately invert the cake onto a serving dish. 

14. Serve with a hot cup of coffee.
