iced coffee

iced coffee is probably one of my favorite summer drinks, 

it may be tied with homemade iced tea.

in order to save a buck this summer i have figured out the perfect way to make iced coffee at home.

this is how

3-4 tbsp coffee ground (fresh ground is best)

1 tbsp homemade coffee syrup

water

put the coffee grounds and syrup into a french press

fill with water (don't press it down)

let it sit in the fridge for 12 hours or over night

after 12 hours press it down pour over coffee ice cubes and milk of your choice (soy, almond, regular)

i like to do 1 part milk to three parts coffee. 

so there you have it my favorite iced coffee recipe.

what are some of your favorite summer recipes drinks or food?

Today

Just wanted to share some pictures from my fantastic day! Hope you are having a great weekend!

just for a while

hi friends!

just wanted to let you know that i probably won't be around here much the next few months.

as the weather is the grass is getting greener, the trees and showing signs of life, and i'm getting hitched. 

so go enjoy the fresh air! 

and be ready for some super duper fun stuff when i get back in the fall. 

that's not to say i will be completely gone during the summer. 

have a happy day!

My garden!

So I planted my garden yesterday.

It needed to be portable since I'm moving in two months time. Also because I can't have a real garden at my new place, which makes me sad but at least I will have a few fresh things through out the summer.
I'm my mini garden I planted a variety of lettuces some radishes and in the herb planter there is chives, savory, and parsley. I'm very excited to have fresh lettuce salads instead of store bought stuff. (I could go on and on about store bought produce but I'll refrain, for now)

Just wanted to share this with you.
Do you garden? Do you wish you gardened? What are your favorite 'fresh from the garden' veggies? I would love to know!!

And here it is my portable garden!
