Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in becoming an American, travel, and my home city of San Francisco. Hope you enjoy!

So Vegas trip happened this past weekend...yup it really really did...I need some major recovery time. Long weekend plus a 3 hour delay (getting in at 11 instead of 8) makes for a miserable Monday morning. Great trip but I'm sooo tired...I'll recap in a few days. In the mean time, I already did my

Canada Day prep

post so here's a nod to my American side: 

1. Tracey from Shutterbean but together an awesome post about

4th of July foods

. If you're trying to figure out what to serve or what to bring to a party she's got answers. I want her

strawberry goat cheese bruschetta

 real bad.

2. Chiara from Oh Happy Day has a cute DIY

red white and blue garland

idea. Not sold on that one? She also has a

giant garland

DIY too.

3. Making It Lovely has cute

table decorating

ideas.

4. Planning a BBQ? Serious Eats has a 12 different

homemade BBQ sauce

recipes for you to try out.

5.

AMERICAN FLAG CAKE!!!

Obviously this is my favorite thing ever and someone *ahem

Rebecca

ahem* needs to make this.

6.  If you aren't sold on the cake I don't know what's wrong with you...I kid I kid that cake looks like a lot of work. Serious Eats pulled together a list of

15 desserts

to make...these all look pretty damn good too.

And what will my plans be? Heading to the beach with the family (including my awesome cousins from Vancouver) to play in the sand and eat way too much food...can't wait!
