A pale yellow

I have the same exact tiles in my bathroom. I would love to change a lot but it is a rental apartment. I also have an oak vanity with an ivory colored laminate countertop. I painted the walls a d...

I think this house is lovely as is. The only things I would change would be the landscaping, color of the shutters, get some window boxes, and the lighting. Check out some episodes of Curb Appeal...

I love to slice a hard boiled egg and serve it on whole grain bread or an english muffin with some salt and pepper as an open face sandwich.

Barefoot Contessa (Ina Garten) makes a French Toast Casserole that I have yet to try but everything I have made of hers has been spectacular:

Keep the brick and add a mantle. Put some artwork, pictures, vases, or candles, etc on top of the mantle.

http://browniepops.com/ makes something similar to these and they have a "wedding" version. I'm sure you could use this recipe and make your own "wedding" pops.

I've made something similar with some pan fried dumplings on top. Very good!

Replace the vanity and tear down the wallpaper. Paint the walls a pale yellow. That would be a good start if you can't afford to do everything at once.

I use fatsecret.com. You can keep track of what you eat, your weight, and your exercise. It also has recipes and a journal if you want to jot things down like your measurements, your goals, or y...

For the past 3 years, I've given up soda and bread. This year, I'm giving up soda and chocolate because I've been getting such a sweet tooth lately. So far so good!

I like to make brown rice and put some thick chili over it like Cattle Drive Chicken Chili from Costco. You could also brown up some ground beef and add some tomato sauce and salsa and kidney bean...

I just made some banana bread and will be making pumpkin cupcakes with maple cream cheese frosting on Sunday for a co-worker.
