It's been awhile since I've posted here. My apologies dedicated readers. I had some issues with my account info and was unable to log in and post. Funny how you want to blog that much more what you have no access to your account. But fear no more, for I am back. I thought would start with a design post since it's been a while for one of those. I fell in love with the designer Caleb Heisey and her packaging for a Swedish Folksaga Liquor. Enjoy!

But this particular past visit I was feeling a little on the butterball side of healthy, so I opted for a salad called the Bikini Salad to ease my conscious. It was just what my body needed. Light, healthy and even better yet, tasty! So of course when I got home, first thing I needed to do was re-create it.
