More on that later<br />
<br />
Rob loves biscuits, asks for them daily, if not several times a day. He calls me Biscuit as a pet name, we use the word biscuit in place of bad words, you get the hint.... minor obsession in this house. So it was no surprise that after our recent girls trip to Poogans Porch in Charleston, SC that their Buttermilk Biscuit recipe had to be mine! They are perfection! And our lovely waiter gave us a copy on a beautiful recipe card. <br />
<br />
I LOVE Poogan's Porch! How could you not! If you are in Charleston, do yourself a favor and treat yourself. <br />

The "We Believe In" quote on their website...seriously perfect! One of the best southern quotes ever. Onto the biscuits... <br />

I'm ready for Spring to get here!! It's just not right - it's like summer inside the Peppermint Palm with all the new spring arrivals and 30 degrees outside -grrrrr. Makes me think it's time to get rid of the black - black boots, black turtleneck, black purse...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a few summer totes I've been eyeing, love them all! </div>

This bag not only needs to be big enough for a trip to the pool or farmers market but shouldn't look like I'm taking a suitcase to work. Nautical Stripes by Michael Kors, Lovely White Leather with Tory, perfect straw tote from Pomegranate? Which do you love? </div>

<br />
-I know it's super sketch but I take greyhound home all the time, it's like $10<br />
<br />

<br />
-someone else drink this I dont want to get roofied alone <br />
<br />
-Aren't we going to be sinners at the church bar?<br />

<br />
-I don't usually wear clothes <br />
<br />
-We are so white <br />
<br />

I am sooo ready for warmer weather and new clothes. I feel like I've worn the same black turtleneck, skinny jeans and flats 1,043,674 times. <br />
<br />
The Lilly Worth skinny jeans are so cute in the new Chin Chin print -pink and green elephants and theres a monkey with a glass of wine too I think?!?! Pair these with a chambray shirt, Jack Rogers, and some aviators and it's Spring! <br />
<br />
Here's to at least dreaming of warm weather for now, cheers!<br />

Pinned it, ate it, loved it!Of all the real sugar, real butter, brownies, cookies and cakes I have saved on Pinterest the pin for Greek Yogurt Cookie Dough was towards the bottom of my list of things to try. I'm a "if you're going to eat someting sweet you might as well go all the way" kind of girl. <br />
<br />
However I am sooo glad I tried it because its really good! And it really does taste like cookie dough, this is a perfect post workout snack ( <a href="http://www.cycleyoulexington.com/">CycleYou</a> kicked my butt today) thanks <a href="http://www.girlgonecountry.com/recipes-2/936/">girlgonecountry.com</a> for this tasty and healthy treat! <br />

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
Home alone and it's freezing outside, the snow is falling - what better to do then curl up on the couch with Pinterest. My New Years plan was to get off the couch and start testing out some of the my pins. These are some no brainer kitchen tips and trips - seriously how did I not think of these???<br />
<br />
We cook a lot in our cast iron skillet - it just taste better that way. Chicken, bacon, steaks, bacon, bacon.... seeing a pattern? But cleaning it is obviously not as fun as cooking with it. Until, thank you Martha Stewart and Pinterest, you can clean this baby with salt. And it works like a dream! Southern girls know you shouldn't clean your cast iron with soap and never ever ever put it in the dishwasher. <br />
<br />
Via <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/274196/spring-cleaning-the-kitchen/@center/277002/spring-cleaning#173596">MarthaStewart.com</a> - <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Here's the best way to clean cast iron: Scrub it with coarse salt and a soft sponge. The salt, a natural abrasive, absorbs oil and lifts away bits of food while preserving the pans seasoning. Rinse away salt and wipe dry.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ltaLaNwjNzI/UQ1DurLMS6I/AAAAAAAAAYY/ehycmLf5Q8E/s1600/martha+cast+iron.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ltaLaNwjNzI/UQ1DurLMS6I/AAAAAAAAAYY/ehycmLf5Q8E/s1600/martha+cast+iron.jpg" height="320" width="256" /></a></div>
<div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let's back up - before you can scrub your cast iron, you need to drain the fat from it (another new years resolution I'm still working on - less fat) Lovely thought huh - dispose of the fat swimming in your pan.. ugh. However it's another "why didn't I think of that" moment. Put aluminum foil in a bowl, pour the grease in. When it hardens, roll up the foil and throw it out! </div>

REALLY!!!!<br />

I read somewhere that your wedding dress is the single most important piece of clothing a woman will ever wear, while I compleatly agree, it did make my heart skip a beat or two. No stress right. <br />
But just like you are supposed to with they guy - when you see the right one you'll just know - I think I found "the" dress... and here's a few of my favorites. <br />

Monogram it! There's a lot that goes into a wedding; the dress, the flowers, the band, the groom and so on but I'm really excited about my new monogram. I really love personal touches, something that makes it yours and nothing does that quite like a monogram. I have been one of those girls over the past year that has put off monogramming anything because I was secretly (or not so secretly) hoping that my monogram would change. <br />
<br />
I've stalked <a href="http://www.allisonrbanksdesigns.com/www.allisonrbanksdesigns.com/Allison_R._Banks_Designs.html">Allison Banks</a> for months, her work is absolutely amazing!! And it must have been fate that Camille brought me a copy of Garden and Gun with her personalized stamp (must have) a few days after Rob and I got engaged. <br />
<br />
What's the rule on including the groom? Do you need one with just your own initials? <br />
<br />
I can not wait to see what she puts together for me and here are a few of my favorites. <br />

The moment that changed it all, this is how Rob proposed to me - followed by a "will you marry me" of course! While I'm sleepy and on my way out the door for work he was walking downstairs to get a "cup of coffee" and came back with this beautiful ring!!! I can't believe my first few words were "are you sure" and "is it real" but I did squeak out a YES! We are so excited to start the planning of our big day and the rest of our lives. </div>

There weren't any beach decorations I really liked and I didn't want to spend a ton of money on this project. I've also tried to find some way to decorate my cube for 6 months now and I think I've found the perfect theme - beach :) and probably some Lilly too! <br />
<br />
Lauren helped me craft together this palm tree out of poster board, duck tape and tissue paper flowers, it's huge. For about $5 and 1 hour it fantastic, so cheerful and happy! <br />

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
I have an issue with fake plants and flowers, I shouldn't, I should love them because I can't keep anything alive. I rather prefer real plants and flowers but I did not inherit a green thumb from my grandmother (Botanist at the University of Kentucky) or my mother who has a real lemon tree and dozens of orchids that bloom and<u><strong> <em>rebloom!</em></strong></u> She's like the orchid wisperer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that I have kept my herb garden alive for almost the entire summer I want to take on some of these Fiddle Leaf Fig trees I've been obsessing over. I looked everywhere for them and just happened to stubble across some at Coach in the mall... of all places. So I now have the contact for the Coach tree lady :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm so close to ordering one ....or two, it will be ther perfect excuse to move the old FAKE trees out of the house to maybe the basement (or the trash) </div>
<br />

And nothing will add a touch of fall like a big warm fall wreath to our front door. After lots of tips from Pinterest, here's my first attempt at making a wreath EVER! <br />
<br />

Well, Vegas you are perfect for a bachelorette party but for my big day I don't think so, the astro turf, giant Ceasar statues, techno music from the pool in the background..... not what I had in mind. </div>

And this one is a favorite! It's even better as leftovers! I think this could stand alone with a side of fresh bread, I served mine with grilled chicken, pesto and lemony orzo pasta! mmmm<br />

<div>
<span style="color: #6bbf6f;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
6 ears corn</div>
<div>
3 large fresh tomatoes ( I used Heirloom)</div>
<div>
1/2 large onion or about 1 cup chopped ( I used a sweet onion)</div>
<div>
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil</div>
<div>
two to three sprigs fresh oregano (optional)</div>
<div>
2 tablespoons white vinegar ( I used white balsamic)</div>
<div>
1/4 cup olive oil</div>
<div>
Juice of one lemon</div>
<div>
coarse sea salt</div>
<div>
fresh ground pepper</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Boil corn in large pot of water for about 7 minutes. Drain and plunge corn into cool water. Cut corn off cob and set aside to cool completely.</div>
<div>
Chunk tomatoes and onion. Coarsely chop basil and strip the oregano off stems. Place cooled corn, chopped vegetable and herbs into large bowl. Toss with vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste. Serve chilled or room temperature</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tips:</div>
<div>
-The recipe called for white vinegar, but I love white balsamic (sweeter) vinegar. Apple cider vinegar would also work. I don't recommend regular balsamic vinegar. The dark red color will discolor the onion and corn and the overall look of the salad will change. </div>
