Summer!

So it's summer. YAY!

I have discovered a couple new things about myself: i love to bake, i am an insomniac, and i LOVE summer in Montana more than anything (even if summer means thunderstorms and flooding and sub 60 degree weather).

Thus far I have been enjoying cooking (about as much as eating!) and are here are a couple photos of things I have made in the last couple weeks!

bruscetta
--baby tomatoes, fresh basil, sliced mozzarella and toasted baguette with olive oil


flan
--a mexican caramel custard


cupcake cake
--frosted chocolate cake and chocolate cupcakes for Sophie's birthday


vanilla cupcakes with lemon filling and lemon meringue


cheese cake creme brulee
--what you see is what you get! everyone LOVED this recipe :)


This summer I will be helping out Shannon Hollman of shannonhollmanphotography.com:
she is an INCREDIBLE photographer and I am lucky enough to get to experience a few sessions, pick up a few tricks, and conduct a session of my own. 
Also, I am working as an assistant coach at Flathead Soccer Camp (flatheadsoccercamp.com) which I am very excited for! 
Other than that.. Men's league on Monday nights, Open Fields on Thursdays, and Criminal Minds from 10-1am.. can't do much better than that :)
