#sponsored Oil or water — which tuna team are you on? 🐟 💡 Oil-packed = rich, flavorful & tender (hello, pasta + sandwiches!) 💡 Water-packed = clean, light & flaky (perfect for salads + patties)
I shared my tips with @simplyrecipes + @StarkistCharlie on how to choose your pantry’s MVP. 🥗🥪

Enjoying this gorgeous Saturday afternoon doing a little wine tasting - and dog training at the same time I think Mr Cooper has the potential to become a good wine tasting companion! I think he thought maybe their mascot might be fun to hang out with again.

How is my little garden going? I may have the most expensive 🥒, 🍅, and 🫑 around but it will be worth it if I keep these babies alive! So far so good!

I’m behind in getting my garden in this year…but for good reason! I was waiting for this beautiful cedar planter to arrive and it came last week! I got it from @cedarplanters and love that we’re supporting a small business. It was worth the wait!

My wonderful hubby @markaliphotos put this together for me and said it was incredibly easy and well made. I coated the boards with tung oil to hopefully protect them against our Pittsburgh weather. Then lined it with the lining they provided and filled it with garden soil.

I’ve played with gardening in the past but the deer usually get to it before I can. And truth be told I also over do it and plant more than I can handle!

So, this seems to be the perfect solution. A good raised bed that will only allow me to plant a few things! It’s big enough for veggies for the two of us and I think I’ll be able to manage this.

2 tomato 🍅 plants
2 pepper 🫑 plants
2 cucumbers 🥒

I’ll probably add some basil and marigolds this weekend and this fall when the tomatoes and peppers are done will plant some lettuce 🥬 and arugula.

Need a quick and delicious hostess 🎁 ? My cinnamon applesauce is easy, quick to make and a thoughtful gift for anyone this Thanksgiving. 🦃

I use Honeycrisp apples 🍎 because they are naturally sweet and you don’t need to add any extra sugar. Just a little apple cider for a bit of liquid and 2 cinnamon sticks!

See how easy it is to make on the blog! Recipe link in my bio!
