Book Review: The Five-Star Weekend by Elin Hilderbrand

 The Five-Star Weekend by Elin Hilderbrand was so good! I absolutely love the idea of a girls weekend with four of your best friends throughout your life. It got me thinking, "who would I invite to my five-star weekend?" 

Grilled Carrot-Dogs (Vegetarian Alternative To Hotdogs)

 

As a vegetarian, I miss hotdogs so much! These carrot-dogs really curb my craving though. The liquid smoke is key!

Book Review: Our Perfect Storm by Carley Fortune

 

Our Perfect Storm is Carley Fortune's fifth novel. I've read all of her books and with the exception of one (Meet Me By the Lake), I really liked them all! She's a great writer. I gave this 4 1/2 stars out of 5.

I’ve Died and Gone to Garlic Heaven

The most amazing garlic basil dip I've ever created

Book Review: The Night We Met (Say You'll Remember Me 2) by Abby Jimenez

 

This is the second book in Abby Jimenez's Say You'll Remember Me series. I really enjoy Abby's books for the most part - they're easy and fast to read, and entertaining. I really like how characters from her other books are always making an appearance in the background of the story - it makes it fun! I gave this one 4 stars out of 5.

Ina Garten's Brownie Pudding (For Two)

 

Ina Garten's Brownie Pudding is one of the best things I made last year. When I am craving chocolate - this is my go-to! It's SO EASY to make. I love to pair it with some vanilla ice cream.

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

 

I have wanted to read The Bell Jar ever since I saw Kat Stratford reading it in the best movie ever made, 10 Thing I Hate About You. I didn't know anything about what this book entailed going into it, and was pleasantly surprised. 

Caramel Apple Ice Cream

 

This is the best ice cream I’ve ever made. Yes, even better than the strawberry basil ice cream from this summer. If you love caramel apples, you’re definitely going to want to make this!
