Homefries U Recap!
Things you learn when you cook/bake/teach for a 30 person retreat in Palm Springs:
The Gaige House
Last weekend Casey & I went on a much needed vacation; we were totally due! My parents watched Cooper (thank you, parents!) and we were able to indulge in some great wine as well as some crazy good food. This was our first vacation away together in a little over 2 years, so were able to save up and splurge!
This is our second time staying at the Gaige House in Glen Ellen. We absolutely fell in love the first time we went in 2009 and we've made it our destination when we want to get away. I like that it's a little less than a two hour drive from our home. Though people come from all over the country to stay there and I can totally see why. It's truly a ZEN oasis.

This weekend…
I woke up Saturday morning to find my hard drive failed. YIKES! No computer for almost two days made me SUPER productive in the kitchen. With the thought of possibly losing all the data on my computer, I had to get my nervous energy out somehow. So I made stuff, lots of stuff. I tried 5 new recipes (all were good except one) and I can't wait to show you!
Here's a glimpse:
- Fried chicken (my first time making it!)
- Honey Rosemary Lemonade (soo addictive)
- Biscuits (I put too much whole wheat flour in- boo!)
- Cucumber Vodka (infusing as we speak)
- Bacon, Tomato & Iceberg lettuce salad (SCRUMPTIOUS!)
- Two more batches of Strawberry Vodka (I had a party to go to)
- Baked Oatmeal for breakfast this AM (I added nectarines!)
- Tessy's Banana Bread (for dessert tonight & breakfast tomorrow)
Now it's time for me to get reunited with my computer. It's back up and running, but now I have SOOOOOO many photos to edit! So thankful to have my computer back.
What did you eat this weekend?
A day in the city
Stars aligned yesterday and I was FINALLY able to meet one of my favorite people online- Miss James of Bleubird Vintage! She was out visiting from TX, so my favorite gal pal, Alex (from Modern Kiddo!) and I spent the WHOLE day with her yesterday. We all had SUCH a blast!
Here's what our day looked like:
