:: It's the little things::

Linking up with Lindsey from The Aisle to Aloha for a post on the little things this week that God has blessed my life with to enjoy! As I was looking over the pictures from this week I took to put in this post, I realized they're almost completely of food. I sincerely apologize. Not sure how that happened :)


A bowlful of yummy clementines from trader joe's. it's been such a long time since i've had a flavorful, juicy citrus. ahhhh.


there's a shake shack in connecticut!!!! it's only an hour away, haha. we went there after a concert we played nearby. best burgers and custards!
i finally designed an invitation for my students' upcoming recital. it's a ton different than my original design, but at least the file transfered to my jump drive. (after 6 days of trying with a different design and file) oophf.

we had time to make a real meal this week. and it was yummy: arugula grape salad, ratatouille rice and herbed salmon. 

frozen grapes. we don't always have enough fruit on hand. so freezing is a good way to keep it around longer.

my impromptu lunch. there are some days that I'm just not in the mood to eat anything i've had in the past week. so i've got to throw something weird i've never had before together. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  this was preeety good. toasted  homemade bread with melted cheese drizzled with olive oil, arugula, red onion, salt, pepper and dill.
