Teddy Snacks

My poor puppy. Each time we eat dinner (or any meal for that matter) Teddy looks up with anticipation that just maybe one little scrap will fall. Usually I don’t give in but, lets be honest, how can anyone resist that cute little face. In the quest to break the habit of feeding Teddy from the table we visited Three Dog Bakery. Three Dog Bakery is the perfect place to get yummy treats just for little fido. 3 Dog Bakery not only makes yummy treats specifically for your dog, but also carries a variety of other Canine products.

Thanksgiving Must Have

Hello Lovlies! I have mentioned a few times how much I love Pumpkin. This is my second pumpkin creation of the year. The first seen{here}. Last year around Thanksgiving I went to a little english tea house on the central coast. I wish I could remember the name. I searched desperately but still can't find it. If I find the name I will most certainly update this post because it was amazing. This little tea house served the most decadent Pumpkin Bisque. Since then I have been hooked. It has become an essential  Thanksgiving staple. Although they wouldn't share their recipe, my mother-in law found one that tastes pretty identical. You will be surprised how easy it is to make this Pumpkin Bisque. 

1  16oz Can Libby's Pumpkin 

1 16oz Can Chicken Broth 

1/2 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce 

1/2 Tsp Cinnamon 

1/4 Tsp Nutmeg 

1/4 Tsp Salt

1/4 Cup Brown Sugar 

1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar 

1/2 - 1 Cup Heavy Cream 

In a food processor (or blender) puree' all ingredients except heavy cream. Heavy cream will be added at the end. Once smooth, pour in to large sauce pan. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10min. Remove from heat and add cream. Reheat to medium, stirring constantly until smooth. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of cream or sherry. Serve immediately. 

Enjoy! 

Gray Day

A few days ago a friend of mine and Drew's said "It's one of those days that feels like 5 all day". You know, those type of days where the clouds are hovering so if feels like the sun is about to set all day long. For some strange reason those are some of my favorite days. I call them gray days. If there was one inspiration for this outfit (other than my love of snake skin lately) it is the gray day.  

All in all it was a beautiful gray day driving up and down the Malibu coat. It's funny just about 10 minutes outside of LA and you can feel like you are on the Central Coast. 

Fun fact: I have been looking for a great bow-tie shirt for a while now (yet to be found). I really thought the perfect bow-tie would complete the 60's 70's vibe I was going for. To create the appearance of the bow-tie shirt take a button up shirt that has a wraparound fabric belt. Wrap the tie under the collar of the shirt and tie at the top buttoned button. Just a little closet trick.
