in my kitchen today

 fear not,

i am in no way trying to be a foodie photographer

whenever i post a recipe or images of fruits & veggies
i feel the need to throw that disclaimer out there for ya'll.

i was going to start out today's post with the following...

"there is so much beauty in the simple things that surround us everyday"
but
that sounded so darn cheesy
so i'll just roll with this one....
"here's a few miscellaneous images from my kitchen".
that's much easier to swallow right?

 

white eggs in a white bowl.

i love it.

 styrofoam carton who?

& some hard boiled eggs ( a fave snack around here)

recently i've seen a few of my fave bloggers posting their own homemade lemon cleaning products.

so i whipped up some myself

& can i just tell you, i have never purchased any product that smells as lovely as this.

i guess you could say, i have fleeting loyalty when it comes to grocery stores.

i shop walmart for my staples

kroger for their flowers  & sales

but i love our fancy publix.

it's often a little more pricey but many of their bakery items are our faves,

plus i always run into my friends at publix 

so i leave there feeling like i just had lunch with one of them.

or something like that.

i know some folks are all anti-walmart

however...i use this product , better than bouillon.

$7 at publix, vs $3.75 at walmart.

the cash i saved by buying these babies at walmart, financed my latest essie colors.

also found now at walmart.

i'm a wealth of information

right?!

   

back to more random images~

i love to snack on radishes, but do you know how to do anything

different with those little guys

besides just eating them fresh/uncooked?

and a little pasta, peas & parmesan,

one of our regulars

served with barefoot contessa's parmesan chicken

sorry...

i feel like lately my posts are just complete bullet points

with run on sentences 

& all over the place.

i apologize.

it's how my mind is working these days!

ps.  i'm looking to buy some candy in bulk. 

cute candy, like maybe pink candy sticks, giant jawbreakers

or some fun colored rock candy on little sticks.

something a little different from the usual stuff you can find at target.

if you have any scoop on sites you've used in the past,

i'd love to know.

thanks!
