Honey Mustard

No, I'm not a big mustard fan....but so many people just love the stuff. 

I guess it's great on hot dogs, sandwiches, salad dressings, chicken..you name it. 

But what do you think of it as a hair color? 

That's what I've been calling myself the last week or so....

(Did you check out all those desserts in front of me?  I made them for my brother's birthday party!)

I finally made it to the salon to get my hair done, and you know the saying...you get what you ask for...well, he did exactly what I asked.  'Just lighten it up a little...it's so freakin' dark!'  And that's what he did...it's taken me a few days to get used to it, but now I'm comfortable with it.  We're calling it honey mustard around here....what do you think? 

Enough about my head...onto this beautiful spring (but feels like summer) weather we had around here the last week. 

These are all open in our courtyard!  They smell so sweet, and look gorgeous! I also found some other spring images around town. 

Here are my peeps....

I even made sure I got outside on those hot days.   I took my work with me and grabbed a box lunch and ate out on the pier...

Complete with a little guacamole and chips and my feet in the grass.  Perfect. 

This week has been very busy, after work...I've been helping out another blogger friend, Tayna over at Vegan Faith test some recipes for a cookbook.  I tried homemade shortbread, which was so buttery and delicious. 

It broke while I was taking it out of the pan, oops..but we had no problem eating it. 

I also baked some whole wheat zucchini muffins for my cousin Susan's birthday birthday. 

We celebrated her birthday with a fun hike along the Hudson River. 

With Joe, myself, my cousin Patrick, Amy, and friends Victoria and Tom.  We had a wonderful day, and ate lunch at the Filling Station along route 9N. 

All week, I drank a lot of this....I'm a huge Kombucha fan!

And tried to get all my errands done around town on my bike.  Hoboken is becoming even more biker friendly...check out these new bike racks I'm seeing all over town. 

I found more pretty flowers...

Tested out some recipes...this time 'no-bake almond butter coconut balls'..recipe coming soon. 

And now after work, laundry and dishes I'm ready for a little couch time and Mad Men tonight! 

Wishing all of you a wonderful week. 

Get outside and enjoy all that spring has to offer. 

Nut Balls and all!!!
