Did you treat yourself to something?


Brownie Recipe
My gang was wanting brownies but a migraine was coming on so I wanted to make some before the storm starts.  For these occasions I keep mixes on hand but you can easily make them special.
 Make the mix up as stated on the box and proceed to add things your family likes: for us it is extra choc chips, walnuts or pecans and mini candy bars cut up - certainly add marshmallows and any other favorites you have.  We like our brownies to be cake-like but if you like the gooey stuff just bake for a shorter time.
So even if I am not present my loved ones know I was thinking about them and when I am better I can have a brownie too!

 I like my brownie warmed and then add cookies with ice cream.

I love the athletic wear trend.  It is comfortable for everyone and especially those of us with chronic pain disorders.  We look pulled together without being uncomfortable.  I have this jacket in about every color they made:

This is tried & true dressing.  I can depend on these pieces all year and there are colors for every season.

Chipolte and Ranch dressing/sauce
With the terrible heat we are having it is time for delicious flavors that do not heat up  the kitchen.
This is a wonderful sauce or dressing that you can make from scratch or buy bottled.  If you buy the bottled version you can amp up the freshness by adding some parsley, garlic powder and paprika - any flavors that your family likes.

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup sour cream 
• 4TBS minced parsely
• 2TBS oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, minced 
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 
• 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar 
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika 
• 1/4 Himalayan/pink salt
  
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 
• 1TBs chipotle powder
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup buttermilk

Mix all together and let refrigerate overnight.

As a daily migraineur (we are a rare breed but we exist) I feel the need to educate people as much as possible about the condition.  These terms may be helpful.  Sometimes little grandson will tell me his head "hurts" and I almost pass out for fear he will inherit this condition.

Be well my darlings.

I love mules and they are perfect for spring & summer.

I love the detail on this shoe - I also bought this in black.  They are very comfortable.

Macy's had a 15% off beauty event so I ordered another Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Eau Fraiche Skinscent.  It is a wonderful summery scent that I buy every year.
They included this free box of trial sizes of EL products - a great way to try new items before investing in a full size.

Included was (from left to right): Advanced Night Repair Intensive Recovery Ampoules, Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick, Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate Matrix, Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex - (on top) Perfectly Clean Multi Action Foam Cleanser, Pure Color Envy Lash Mascara.  These sizes are perfect for travel.

Time for lemonade sangria! The heat has arrived in the South!  I used a chardonnay but I might try a moscata next time.

 Moscato is known as a dessert wine and has a low level of alcohol.
Add fruit that you like~apples, lemon & limes ~ I love the crystal cut pattern on this pitcher and have several of them.
