Oh how we love Tj's days off:)


First off, here is my recent baking. RED VELVET CUPCAKES ! I know, I know right? The best part about them? They are filled with cream cheese frosting. So delish.


Tj had the day off so we went to Mo's 12th annual crab and chowder fest at the Willamette Valley Vinyard. We love Tj's days off. It usually means adventure time! It was such a gorgeous day! 55 degrees, and look, you can see the sun in these pics! As soon as we got out of the city, the sun appeared. We havn't seen a lot of sun lately:( So this vineyard thingy was new to us. There was wine tasting and everyone seemed to be having a good time (if you know what I mean). We of course did not taste the wine, but they did give us a free wine glass, and we got some chowder and shrimp.

I have to say we live in a gorgeous place! Can you believe the grass is still green here! All should come visit! We are so excited for summer time to explore some more.

Clam Chowder.

Ok so here it is. THE BEST CLAM CHOWDER IN THE WORLD. I didn't even like clam chowder til I met TJ. (I also didn't eat sandwiches either and now I eat one everyday) Anyways.... Tj has this obsession with clam chowder. So when we first moved up here we drove to the coast and stopped by this little junky seafood place. Little did we know it is a hidden gem! This clam chowder is to die for! So whenever we have time we drive to the coast to grab some. So whenever any of you come to visit, we will take you here. If you don't like clam chowder, everything else is to die for too! I can't stop thinking about this warm apple tart we had for dessert there the other night!OMG!
