• Skip the traditional guest book and go with this fun new twist, a Guest Book Gallery Wall. Instead of guests writing a few sentences in a dated book, have them paint a 6" square canvas. No rules apply, put out some paint and brushes and give everyone a canvas and see what your friends and family will essentially create for you. Hang your memories in a spot that needs a little pop of colour. By far our favourite craft yet.

    Make Your Own Guest Book Gallery Wall

    I've been wanting to share this post with you guys for a while now. This Guest Book Gallery Wall is probably my absolute favorite craft that we've ever done in our home and it's all because I watch too much reality TV. If you are a fan of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, you may remember the episode when Yolanda painted the mini canvasses for her daughter. They hung a collage of them in her daughter's new apartment. I immediately thought what a cool idea and had to come up with my own version.

    Pastrami Sandwiches with Mustard Cream Cheese

    Lately, I've been craving sandwiches, really really good sandwiches. You know the kind, the ones that put you in a great mood, and feel like summer. For me, sandwiches remind me of warmer days, when it's too hot to cook. With spring right around the corner, my sandwich cravings have kicked into overdrive. Maybe it was the pregnancy hiatus that pushed me over the edge. Being banned from pastrami is a struggle for me. We've been on a serious sandwich kick, ever since.

  • Spanakopita Inspired Grilled Cheese

    Spanakopita Inspired Grilled Cheese

    Creamy, gooey cheeses mixed with fresh spinach and dill are sandwiched between two golden fried slices of brioche bread in this spanakopita inspired grilled cheese. I have been thinking about this grilled cheese for months. A fan of spanakopita (greek pie) for years, I remember sitting in my auntie Cath's kitchen, assembly-line style, making those delicious phyllo packets. She sent me her greek pie recipe last year and I've been putting it off. Written in cryptic code, I'm a little intimidated to try it. It's an add-a-bit-of-this-and-some-of-that type recipe and frankly, I'm nervous. This recipe is a classic, hence my trepidation. They're…
