What a beautiful kitchen! I would want to hang out in this space all the time and cook.

super cute pup. what kind of dog do you have?

This time of year, I like to make a large pasta toss that can be eaten cold or hot, perfect for taking for lunch as leftovers. I purchase some fresh cavatelle pasta and add in lots of fresh veggies--yellow squash, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, peas, onion, etc. I sautee the veggies with a bit of garlic and then add the pasta back in with a little bit of the pasta cooking water, about a tablespoon of butter chopped up in small pieces and 1/4 cup fresh grated cheese. Delicious!

I'm also a fan of wraps with hummus, lots of mixed greens, red onion and cucumber. Maybe cut up veggies with hummus or a yogurt dip?

this space...in such a wonderful SF neighborhood...serious envy. you've made such a beautiful home.

I would definitely recommend freezing your credit if you do not anticipate upcoming credit check needs. It is really easy to do and you can always unlock it if needed (usually about $5-$10 or free of charge using a pin number the credit agencies provide). It's not a fix but it gives me so much more peace of mind.

loved his work and he seemed like such a nice guy!

these are all lovely!!

just woke up to a sunny but brisk new england day, it is beautiful! i have some fresh asparagus and greens from the market and am going to make a german potato salad and some sausages on the grill for mom later on. : )

i also find it to be really helpful to get my bedroom, kitchen and bathroom in order first so that basic needs can be met. i don't think you need a lot for this and it can be as simple as hanging a shower curtain, making the bed with comfortable linens, flipping over a box to be a bedside table or an inexpensive fruit bowl on the counter.

for me, it is always important to get things organized, even if it is in cardboard boxes (i.e., a box for underwear and socks, one for t-shirts/tanks, until i can get drawers). think of it as a time to live with less and surround yourself with things that you really love or that are purposeful. i can relate to your needs and wish you a wonderful adventure this summer!

one of my favorite combinations! i sometimes add about 1-2 tablespoons of butter sliced in pieces with a little bit of the salted pasta water and some fresh grated cheese. yum!
