Recently seen through my lens.
So that all was before I got back from my quick trip to the Bahamas. I’ll have some warmer photos of that trip soon.
Also stop by tomorrow for some cute Halloween treats I made today and can’t wait to share with you.
To hold you over, today’s recipe is for a light veggie-rice bowl teeming with Asian flavors. The cashews add fun crunch.
