From the Farmer’s Dish and Giveaway

Michelle Martin — Tue, 21 Oct 2014 12:00:30 +0000

Signing up for our weekly delivery from From the Farmer has been such an amazing experience. Of course it’s so nice to have fresh, local food sent directly to our door step, but it’s also a huge time saver during our busy work week. No more rushing in and out of the grocery store for fresh fruit and veggies. I always forget my shopping list when I go anyway. One of the challenges can be deciding what new creation to make with all the delicious goodies at hand. This week our box contained mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, spinach and kale. My first thought was to make one of my favorite dishes… pasta. I’ve blogged about this before too (you can click here for that recipe), but it’s fun to find new ways to eat it! We used these fresh ingredients to make a chunky sauce to top those scrumptious noodles. Handful of mushrooms, 4 large tomatoes, 1 onion, 2 cloves of garlic, handful of spinach, handful of kale This really isn’t rocket science. We chopped up the above ingredients. Boiled the noodles and then added the kale towards the end. This helped prevent us from over cooking the kale and losing its nutrients […]

Carré Jewelry Feature & Giveaway

Michelle Martin — Tue, 24 Jun 2014 11:30:29 +0000

We are so excited to be one of the first in the US to feature a new favorite jewelry designer of ours plus a GIVEAWAY! Carré Jewellery, created in 1991 and based in Copenhagen is about to launch right here in the red, white and blue and we had the amazing opportunity to view the collections in person. Both of us picked our favorite pieces from the collection and styled them in our last outfit posts. Check them out here if you missed it! Michelle & Sarah We love how feminine these pieces are but the simplicity of the designs allow them to mix and match to any personality and style. Shiri Haugbøl, the founder and creator behind the magic, “feels passionately that jewellery speaks for itself in its own characteristic and individual way, respecting the natural structure of precious stones.” Their jewelry is infused with genuine pearls and precious stones, which are inherently unique. Which means no two pieces are alike. Each piece is exclusively made using precious metals: 10 and 18 carat gold, oxidized sterling silver and 23 carat gold-plated sterling silver. We love this line because there is really something for everyone with a variety of price points. Carré is the classic term for […]

Kate Bakes & Instagram Giveaway

Kate Bakes is a vegan and gluten-free granola bar company based out of Washington, DC. Every bar is handmade using only organic ingredients. Kate has truly mastered the art of making delicious yet healthy granola bars. Each of her creations are sweet and chewy bars that provide natural protein and fiber with no added preservatives. We love to support local businesses and wanted to share our amazing experience of working these yummy bars into our daily routine. We found them to be a perfect pre-work out snack, a filling on the go breakfast and a very rewarding afternoon treat. Each bar contains 220 calories, 7 grams of protein and 4.5 grams of fiber. Kate offers 4 different flavors; the Banana Cinnamon Oatmeal, Chocolate Coffee, Sunflower Butter Raisin and Cardamom Date. All were quite satisfying but our favorite was the Banana Cinnamon Oatmeal which was a combination of almond butter, banana, coconut, rolled oats, soy protein powder, and all organic – agave syrup, rice cereal, chia seeds, cinnamon and vanilla. Sounds good right? Even better paired with your favorite cup of coffee or tea. You can find her bars sold in DC (Muse Cafe in the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Menu/MBK, GWU’s Campus Fresh and Cibo Express in Terminal A at Reagan […]
