As I work on the details of getting our new home, I’m dreaming of all the amazing goodies I can make in my new kitchen. I’ve never had so many cabinets before! These beautiful watercolor paintings by Lucile Prache have me swooning over the possibilities in a gorgeous way.

I know you’re thinking. Where had that {Make & Munch} series gone? I was bursting at the seams with ideas and even began designing printables. Then life and work got a hold of me, so I was never able to shoot any pictures or make the fun recipes I had been so eagerly creating.
Well, I’m back today with a really simple idea. It’s a great way to stay hydrated especially with the warmer seasons on its way (or so I hope!) and the craft is perfect for any get together. We had it with homemade pizza (recipe to come) one night and it was delish!

Do you have weekend plans? Will you try making this rosemary water?
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching so I thought I’d share one of my favorite indulgences. Breakfast in bed! There’s nothing quite like staying in those warm sheets especially with all the cold weather lately. This would be such a treat for your sweetie on Valentine’s Day. You could even do a brunch version of this with friends. Just set out a bunch of blankets and pillows and serve everyone on little trays. I love casual get togethers because everyone’s relaxed and more likely to have fun.
I wanted to debut a blog series today called Make & Munch. A fun craft to make and a delicious recipe to munch on. Pretty much my favorite activities ever. I have a quick tutorial for frilly toothpicks to go with a very simple breakfast sandwich recipe today.

Do you like breakfast in bed?
The air has been quite cool lately and I just love snuggling up to a blanket and drinking warm delicious beverages. Hot chocolate, fragrant teas, and spiced mulled apple cider just make me breathe deep breaths to take it all in.
Most recently, I made a large batch of apple cider for our Makers Gathering. A helped me carve apples to be used as cups. Not only do you take in fresh apple smells as you take a sip, but it’s the most perfectly ergonomic cup to be nestled in your hands.
The apples are pretty simple to carve, but they can get time consuming, so allot yourself some time if you are planning to entertain with them. I used a paring knife pointed at an angle with the point towards the core and essentially scored the width I wanted my hole to be. I did it in one swoop so that the top would just fall off in a cone like shape. Then I used a melon baller to scoop the flesh out (so much easier than a spoon). Be careful not to get too crazy because you still need the walls to keep the cider in! It definitely gets easier after the first couple!
I thought this might be a cute hostess or just because gift too, so I’ve included some tags with the printable recipe that you can print out and punch holes in to tie around your homemade mulled cider.

What’s your favorite Autumn drink?
Happy Friday to a nice long weekend! Yay! We don’t really have any plans, but I know that I’ll finally get a chance to relax a bit. We brought our swimsuits with us to work today so that we can hit the river right after work. With the end of Summer nearing, I thought it was totally appropriate to try to capture it in a bottle. You may remember that this Summer I spent one of my weekends at a Lavender Festival. I bought a fresh bunch of lavender and I wanted to make the lavender lemonade we had there because it was so refreshing! I ended up making a batch of simple syrup to be easily made into a cocktail, tea, lemonade, soda, or even over lemon ricotta pancakes! Yum!
I thought I’d share a printable recipe with you as well as some labels for your bottles. I made both a large and small version in case you make some little bottles for favors at your next party (cute for a Parisian or herb themed one). I got my bottle at New Seasons Market in the Homegoods section while shopping for other goodies, but you can also find them online at Cost Plus World Market.
