Quarantine Recipes We've Made + Loved


I am still not sure what day it is, but I am sure that this quarantine time has led us to make some delicious dinners! We have been cooking about every few days, and make enough to have leftovers for a couple of days after. This cuts down some stress about cooking in this already stressful time. The dinners we crave are warm, healthy-ish, comfort foods. And that's exactly what we have gone for! I am sharing the recipes we have made so far. We have loved them all! [we've also made all of these in the instant pot, and this is the one we have.]

Breakfast recipe of my own creation: sautéed mushrooms and spinach + scrambled egg whites topped with avocado+everything but the bagel seasoning and salsa!

I have also been more lenient about dessert every night, lol, and really want to give a shout out to my favorite/the BEST gluten free cookie dough: Sweet Loren's. I have tried many a pre-made GF cookie dough, and these are the winners!!!


I love this one! I have made it pre-quarantine as well.



I love anything I can put salsa and sour cream on 😂.

 Creamy Broccoli and Leek Soup
From this cookbook. This is a maybe healthier take on broccoli cheese soup. But it does have cheese, still, aha!
*to make gluten free, we skipped the flour and made a slurry out of corn starch.*


Fried Rice
From this cookbook. If you want take out, but can't get it, then this is the perfect recipe! We added some extra veggies, and I topped mine with a fried egg and sriracha. Yum-o!



As always,

A Thanksgiving Look

Turtleneck  |   Skirt  |   Tights  |   Boots Thanksgiving is only one week away! I am excited to go home, and spend time with my family and friends. This is a holiday that is HARD to dress for. On one hand, you want to wear joggers and a big sweater because of all of the yummy food and treats. On the other hand, you want to dress up, or slightly dress up while still feeling comfy. Hence, the big dressing dilemma: how to create the right look for your kind of holiday? I like to dress it up a little , without wearing a cocktail outfit or gown, haha. I created this look for a dressy, casual look. It is an easy outfit to put together, and I bet you have some similar pieces in your closet! A turtleneck, plaid skirt and tights is such a classic fall look that is also great for this holiday. It is kind of an easy dressing equation too because it is so easy to mix and match what you have in your closet, or buy one new piece that you know will go with an...

Tied with Tartan

  Happy Monday, friends! It is December, and that means you can catch me wearing plaid about every day. I wore this dress the other week, and have showed it on my Instagram, but it is still on sale, so I thought this outfit needed its own post! Dress | Shoes c/o (use libby10 for 10% off at Margaux ) | Headband J. Crew always puts out some of the best holiday pieces, in my opinion. I love all the of the plaids because they just feel so classic and timeless, and I know I will be able to wear them for forever. This new dress caught my eye this year: it is plaid, a shirt dress, AND has ruffles! I was instantly sold, and even more so during their holiday sales. And, it is still on sale- its 50% off with an extra 20% off with code FESTIVE! I am wearing a size small, and it is not too short on me. I do think, as with all J. Crew, that it runs a tad big, so you could definitely size down (I miraculously could have fit into a xs). It doesn't button all the way down, which I think is a ...

What I Packed for Rhode Island

  I am SO excited to be back on the East Coast for a bit. Today, we are driving to Rhode Island to spend the long weekend and celebrate my cousin's 30th birthday (thirty, flirting and thriving, right?!). I have only been to Rhode Island on one other occasion, and that was a marching band trip where we marched in the oldest Fourth of July celebration in the country. Thinking back on that, it was a very surreal experience that I am grateful for, and I am even more excited to get to go back to that state and explore as an adult. As soon as I knew we would be going to Rhode Island, I thought about the outfits for the trip. It invoked a sense of the classic East Coast prep style that I already love so much, and so I took that as my packing inspiration! The Kiel James Patrick store/brand is based out of Newport, RI, so I will definitely be visiting and I had to leave room in my suitcase for some new KJP pieces. I haven't had to pack for travel in awhile, so I decided to take a new ap...
