more BLT's

after all that painting,

i worked up an appetite for "BLT" goodness!

i came across this "BLT Pasta Salad" and scribbled it down, 

wish now that i could remember where it came from!

this salad is a light and fun twist to putting

"BLT" between two slices of bread

*note: i used "gomiti" shaped pasta that i had on hand, and

i added homemade croutons because i like the crunch!

(*yep, you can see my notation for what i had for dessert

with my "BLT Pasta Salad")

Sprouting

little did i know 6 months ago as i sat in reflection
over words and intentions that i wanted to cultivate in the NEW YEAR
just how prophetic the word "NOURISH" would become.
mostly i was thinking of my newly planted herb garden,
(a Christmas gift from Kyle)
but little did i know a tiny bean was sprouting in my belly!
Going to be NOURISHING myself lavishly in the final trimester
waiting to welcome a tiny creation of creativity into the studio in september!

NOURISH

fruitful, bearing fruit

life giving
