I am a complete sucker for cookbooks, I collect them really. One day I would love to have a wall full of cook books in my kitchen. Crazy, I know. The Jackie O book I bought for my mom.

Received this chic Chanel tray from trays chic. Had so much fun styling it. It fits perfectly on my nightstand. A tray is the best way to organize all the items we keep at our bedside. Mine doesn't always look so neat, but this gorgeous tray is great for collecting my handcream, lip balm and of course tv remote. Check out her shop, she always posts pics of her latest items on Instagram @oohlalafinds </div>

Wasn't sure if it was possible as my dining room isn't entirely huge, but turns out I do have enough room! Once these chairs are upholstered they are really going to pop against the white walls. I have my eyes and heart set on a piece of art for the wall above my buffet.

First project up is the dining room. When we first saw this house it had a wood china hutch mounted to the wall. I immediately knew I would be taking it down, and that FINALLY happened last weekend. Yay!! <br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you'd like to try a recipe for a moist and not overly sweet cake, <a href="http://www.gourmet.com/recipes/2000s/2009/06/raspberry-buttermilk-cake">this</a> one is it! When baked, the raspberries give off a sweet scent. As the recipe says, you could use any type of berry. I dusted it with powdered sugar for an even more festive appearance. It makes for such an elegant dessert while still being so simple to make. Perfect to take to any party for the upcoming holiday season. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When the weather starts to cool down, I begin sorting through all my recipes I saved over the hot Summer that required turning the oven on. It's just too hot to bake bread when it's over 100 degrees outside. Luckily, this week really started to feel like a changed season, so what better way to welcome Fall than by baking <a href="http://www.blueeyedbakers.com/home/2011/3/21/walnut-raisin-bread.html">this</a> recipe, raisin and walnut bread. So hearty and delicious.</span></div>

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love blue cheese. Paired with a drizzle of honey on top, these crackers are delish! Literally this recipe has two steps, super easy. I highly recommend giving it a try, although the next time I make these, I am going lighten up on the salt. And if you're a fan of Ina Garten as well, you'll know she is never shy when using salt ;) </span><br />

<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can't get any more classic than a chocolate chip cookie. Although I do like to try out new recipes, I always seem to go back to <a href="http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/18476/Original-NESTL%C3%89-TOLL-HOUSE-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies/detail.aspx">this</a> one. I do have a small twist to this recipe though; since I prefer my cookies a little on the crispy side {and so does my family ;)}, I over beat the dough. This makes for a smoother texture and the cookies become thinner and crispier than your average cookie. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bread is such a comforting food. Unfortunately I have a love/hate relationship with it. I try not to make it too often, but every once in a while, I give in. One bread in particular that screams comfort is cornbread. Served with a bowl of chili or just by itself with butter (I like to add a little honey on mine), it's simply so good!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With busy schedules, at times it can be hard to fit in all the necessary greens our bodies need. I try to make this juice at least once a week. I love the flavor and the good thing is, it tastes pretty good. It's even two year old approved ;) My son loves it, of course I dilute it with some water or ruby red grapefruit juice. Since this is highly concentrated, he only gets a small amount. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you have a juicer, I highly recommend giving this recipe a try. The reason I add the skin of the lemon is because it adds a zing that makes the juice taste very refreshing, same with the cucumber. The sweetness from the green apple cancels out the bitter flavor of the kale without taking away from its nutritional content. I also have other recipes I switch up with the 'green juice' I will be posting those soon. Until then, what are some of your favorite juice combinations/ingredients? </span></div>

The wheat flour and oats give them a grainy bite. They would be perfect for a weekend brunch or to have in the evening with coffee. The glaze is actually my favorite part, yes it's heavy on the sweet side, but it just perfumes the scones with that maple-y scent. I had been wanting to make these scones for some time now, and so glad I finally did! (of course I won't be making them for a while because once you do, it's hard not to have just one!) </span><br />

If you are like me who doesn't have the biggest kitchen, this will make things much easier. NOT PICTURED: Butter! Don't be frightened at how much butter is called for in this recipe. I was at first, but I made about 16 scones, a bit more than what the recipe called for.</span> </span></td></tr>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I love sliders! It could be the fact they are mini, and almost anything that is mini I find cute. But food can't be good just because it looks cute, right? Well these sliders are both! They are just as delicious as they are cute. I am a big fan of anything with a strong acidic, vinegar taste, so it seemed like a good idea to add balsamic vinegar to the caramelized onions and let the two flavors meld together. The outcome was too good, but you will have to give it a try and let me know what you think.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For a few years now, it has become a tradition every Summer to watch the running of the bulls. It's a great excuse to make ice cold sangria and eat yummy tapas. I must admit, watching these crazy people run in front of the bulls while trying to not get poked or hurt really makes me nervous.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To make Sangria: </span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mix your favorite Spanish Tempranillo (or a Merlot will do) with Ginger ale soda, fill pitcher with ice cubes and add frozen peaches (or fresh peaches would be even better!), and a little more than half of a Jazz apple. Finally, dash with cinnamon powder. </span></span><br />
