Monday Favorites!

Hello there! I'm just dropping in to let you know that it may be a bit quieter around here in the next 2 weeks. Mostly it's because my first round of fall exams is next week, and you can bet I'll be busy trying to shove all that hard science into my cranium! Then any time I'm not studying will be spent making treats for a baby shower and adorable Little Mermaid-themed birthday party. But you know me...no matter how busy I get or what country I'm in, I'll always have a fresh batch of weekly food favorites to share with you!

Just one last thing before we jump into the visual feast. My good friend, blogger, and professional food photographer Joy is working with some friends on an online cooking show geared toward singles and couples called "1-2-Simple Cooking." Their goal is to provide "inspiration for joyous, healthy, and simple cooking on a smaller serving scale." I, for one, think the idea is fabulous, especially in light of my personal experience with having to eat the same meal for days on end after cooking a recipe meant to serve 8 people ^__^. They're trying to raise some money to get the episodes in gear. Please head over to their Kickstarter page to donate and/or learn more about this exciting project!
