Strawberry Lemonade Cake

There’s something about an Autumn Sunday Supper…

The scent of succulent roasted thyme chicken hangs in the air. The crisp breeze scatters the first fall leaves outside on our deck. There’s a mug of tea and a good book, sitting on the comfy leather chair just off the kitchen, with a furry friend (our grey & white cat) looking for a lap to nap on.

Fall days, lead to fall nights. Bliss.

What does your perfect autumn night look like? 🍁🌙🙌🏻

Bring a little bit of the outdoors to your indoors

Bring a little bit of the outdoors to your indoors!

I am a big fan of arranging flowers, but you already knew that! 👩🏻‍🌾💐

Working with the different colors, textures, and seasonal specialities…. it’s something I truly enjoy.

I’ve created this marvelous fall 🍁centerpiece with a mixture of dahlias, grapevines from my yard, hydrangea from my flower garden, roses, and dried wheat stalks. Instead of a traditional vase, I used my great grandmother’s vintage crystal fruit bowl. Not only is it the perfect size for a large bouquet, but it also adds a bit of height!

Be sure to stick around this page over the next few weeks! I will be announcing a special collaboration that will be sure to make your creativity blossom!

This 𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐥𝐮𝐦 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐢𝐬 is one of my favorite gluten free desserts! You can find the recipe over on my blog, by tapping the link.

I am also entering this fab slice of heaven as my submission into the #creativefoodcomposition challenge, hosted by @anna_janecka @peaches2peaches and judged by @violaminerva & sponsor @jipyfondos.

The theme is ‘Layers’. I feel like both the dessert itself & the styling, add layers of flavor, contrasting textures, color, and mood.
