{healthy recipe: simpledaisy style & wine bottle craft}

Happy Happpy Friday to you!!!!!!
It's my last Friday of working for the summer! Yeah:)
I am just so happy to be able to have some extra time to work on simpledaisy....
Yes...Yes....always follow your heart and be true to you! Life is too short to not follow your dreams:)

Summer is my season.
It just makes me so darn happy......
I just love to be outside....coffee outside in the morning...tinkering around the garden in the afternoon.....dinner outside in the evenings!
and can you believe it ...... I even have a turquoise umbrella:)


I know hard to believe.....many hues of blue in my backyard:)

and if your in the mood for the easiest "craft" idea ever
take an empty wine bottle {I prefer the blue ones} and put in some tiki fuel....add in a tiki wick and secure it with some washers.
waalaaa....you got yourself a super cute tiki torch for pretty much FREE!!!!

You know how much vino I drink....so I should have a million of these all around my backyard!

Life is just pure bliss to me in the summertime......

I really don't need much....just a little vino...some healthy food and some twinkle lights:)
Speaking of vino...
check out this awesome bottle.

You know i'll be collecting these bottles! Plus the wine was super tastey.

Now for the recipe....

Every Tuesday my friend & I get together for what we call "Tropical Tuesday."
We drink probably way too much wine and cook an awesome meal together...
This week's recipe came {addapted} from the June 2010 Cooking Light magazine:)



Heirloom Tomato & Peach Salad
heirloom tomatoes
peaches
red onions
slice them all & add
honey
basil
olive oil
vinegar....they call for sherry vinegar
we used pear infused white balsamic vinegar
add in some feta
mix it all together and ENJOY!


This will definately be a summer staple!
I even took it to a gathering and everyone liked it....so YEAH:)

We also made little pizzas....

we used pesto...mushroooms...asparagus...goat cheese...We grilled them and they look yummy....

but in reality we got to drinking too much wine and forgot to watch the grill....

Oops.....burned pizza's!!

Owell we still ate them:)

I am just so happy that it's summer!!! Can you tell?!!??! haha

Hope you have a really fabulous summer too.....

Oh and stay tuned for a simpledaisy give-away and it won't be earrings this time:)

Cheers~
