THE MOST GIGANTIC ZUCCHINI!

This weekend by so fast I'm a little upset about it. We did a million things and had a wonderful time...and yet it just wasn't enough. Is it Labor Day weekend yet? Please?
Besides eating a great dinner and having an exorbitant about of wine while playing Scrabble and Apples to Apples with Lauren and our boys, we managed to finally get a dining room table in our apartment like real adults (Thanks S+L)! 
Here's my weekend brain dump:
-------
We went to the Farmer's Market this weekend and along with our usual giant bag of kettlecorn we got this HUGE zucchini for $1. Yeah. Wait. Scratch that. Hell yeah. There is so much zucchini bread making in my future. Get ready for about 3490234 recipes including zucchini, my friends.

I never used to like rings much, and then out of nowhere I'm a big fan.I know, this is probably wildly exciting to you, right? Well I said it was a brain dump!  My Spade Ring came last week and it's tiny and pretty and needs a few friends... and I think These Jules Smith Edie Thin Stacking Rings are kind of perfect.

I have been cooking/baking up a storm lately. More than usual. I have a ridiculous amount of recipes I'm going to be sharing on the blog coming up, so be ready. Tomorrow's recipe led to this:
The weather in Wisconsin cannot make up it's mind. One day the air has the chill of fall, one day it's 93 and sunny. Dresses one day, pants the next. GO AWAY SUMMER. GIVE ME FALL!

Overall I haven't been the biggest fan of the scallop trend (so sue me) but somehow I think this miiiiight just change my mind. Fall bag, anyone

  1. I love that bag! But, I totally agree with you. I'm not the biggest fan of the scallop trend. I'm sorry but those scallop shorts would make my already oversized legs look disgusting. Can't wait for all the zucchini recipes :) Have a great week!

  5. That's so funny because I went to friend's place to make dinner last night and she had a huge zucchini just like that! Random question.. do you take your outfit pics yourself? I always try to copycat that angle and I can never get it right :) Thanks for linking up!

    1. Haha you are so funny!! I just flip the phone around facing me (not the camera) and hold it about a foot out angled down. pretty sure i always look like a fool doing it, but that's okay, right?

  10. I am a big ring (and zucchini) fan too! But I only have 2 rings. I keep telling myself I'll buy more. But I have a big issue when it comes to spending money on jewelery. I just don't like doing it. (love the bag too!)
