Food Friday – 5 ingredient Greek summer salad for a BBQ…
….
Hi guys,
we are in the middle of BBQ season so I am sharing some I am sharing a bunch of easy and quick side dishes the next weeks. Today´s recipe can´t be exceeded in its simplicity. A super easy and super quick Greek Summer Salad.
You need 5 ingredients:
– 1 cucumber
– 1 glass of black olives
– a pound of tomatoes
– 1 piece of feta cheese
– 2 or 3 purple onions (I like the purple ones better for eating them raw cause they aren´t as spicy as the white ones)
Cut everything into small pieces (depends on how you like to eat it) and mix it togehter in a big bowl.
For seasoning I just used two table spoons of simple freeze-dried salad herbs and olive oil as required.
Mix everything together (that´s how you get a better feel of how much olive oil you need).
We are going to have a BBQ on Saturday so stay tuned for more recipes.
Have a nice Friday. Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
Cheetah print ruffle dress and bamboo bag…
….
Hi lovelies,
we are still in pouring rain over here. It is incredible how much it can rain. There where three thunderstorms yesterday throughout the day and a huge one in the night.
So I thought I am posting a look on the warmer side. I have worn this last weekend and loved it. A good cheetah print is something you can wear for years and years to come so I love buying pieces with this print. Not only dresses but bags and cardigans and beanies – you get my point right!!
The color combination of tan, black and white is – I think – the most blogged color combo I have ever seen and I can totally relate to that.
I have paired the printed dress with my favorite pair of tan wedges and my beloved bamboo bag. I had worn this look to a BBQ and everybody wanted to see my bag. I still love it so much. It is pure art to me.
The hair style I am wearing in lots of my photo shoots lately is one I have seen first over on M Loves M a few month back. But now lots of bloggers love to style their hair this way. It puts such a girlie feel to your look and loosens it up a lot.
Hope you are having a great day. It feels like Monday to me today cause I am the first day back at work. But tomorrow is Friday already.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
Wedding Wednesday – DIY rustic wind lights for a fall wedding….
jute edging amazon / wind lights nanu nana small and large / leaves nanu nana / hot glue gun amazon / sand Depot /
For glueing everything together I grabbed Simone, Florian´s sister and also a bridesmaid and we had a fun Friday afternoon with lots of glue eveywhere. This isn´t as easy as it seems.
But it worked and it is super easy. First of all I marked the glasses so that the edging would be in the same hight on evey wind light. Therefore I got a yellow removable overhead marker. Worked really good. After marking the glasses I cute the edging in the size we needed it. I have two types of glasses so there had to be longer and shorter bands of jute.
Then we started glueing. I have to admit I have never done anything with hot glue and I am also not very crafty so this was quite the challenge but I think it turned out very well. I really like them.
To make sure everybody gets the fall theme we also had some leaves in orange and burgundy and glued one onto each wind light.
The candles for the arrangements are all burgundy cause I just love this deep and rich fall color a lot.
I think they turned out pretty well and will hopefully look pretty on the dining tables.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
