A couple of weeks ago, during the final days of summer, we harvested a few summer squash and a handful of tomatoes from our backyard garden. Our garden didn’t do so great this year (hello drought of 2012) but I really wanted to make something yummy with our “crop”… so I searched for a new recipe to try.

After doing a quick review of my favorite cooking blogs, I stumbled across this recipe from thefauxmartha. It was exactly what I was looking for… light. filling. delicious.

one change I made: I used rice, no bake lasagna noodles to make this recipe gluten free. they taste very similar to regular noodles but they do take slightly longer on the stovetop. 

Now that it’s officially fall, I’m gearing up for hearty meals and warm soups.

Happy Eating!

The mister and I are still coming off the high of celebrating our one year anniversary. We took a little getaway weekend escape together and then spent yesterday (the actual anniversary) hanging out, going through every photo and reading our anniversary notes that we had guests fill out at our wedding. (I highly recommend doing something like that. It was SO much fun reading all of the well wishes from our family and friends)

So…in keeping up with our wedding and bringing back wedding wednesday, I thought I’d share some of the details from our big day.

holy moly, me oh my, you’re the apple of my eye…

As some of you may know, that amazing, little song, Home, was the theme of our wedding {side note- It’s also where the paper + styling studio name came from} that was exactly one year ago today. I’m still not quite sure how a year has come and gone but boy has it been wonderful. So today, I want to wish a happy first anniversary to the love of my life, best friend and partner in crime. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life having this much fun with you…
