For one of my first fashion posts, I used flowers as inspiration to create a fashion collage (part 1, part 2). Even after a year of posting, we liked the idea so much, we wanted to repeat it again this summer. Yesterday, I featured some of my favorite Southern California flowers. With these flowers in mind, I created three…
Have you ever had a raw baby bok choy salad? Until last week, I didn’t even know you could (or should) eat it raw. Last Saturday, I went to the Farmer’s market planning to try the broad assortment of lettuce varieties. To be frank, I was a bit overwhelmed with all of the choices. “What is…
