Tavern and Table

We took a little adventure to Mount Pleasant today and enjoyed a waterfront, socially distant dinner. We basically made a little date out of going to a different part of the state for a brief meeting. We figured, why not check out a restaurant and make the most of the 6 hours on the road? I reached out to a new IG friend, Brittney, who provided us with some awesome recommendations. We went with one of her suggestions, Tavern & Table on Shem Creek. We were thoroughly impressed with their social distancing precautions and their food!!

Requesting Your Feedback!

Hi friends! It’s cleary been a crazy day because I’m just now getting today’s post up but it’s a fun one because I’m seeking your feedback! Today marks 100 days since I started publishing content DAILY on the blog and social! It’s a huge achievement for me personally because I set a goal back in the spring that I wanted to blog every day for 90 days consecutively. If I could meet that goal, I would evaluate. Well, I’ve surpassed that goal and now I want to take a moment to collect a little data from you guys, my sweet internet friends! This will help me get a better idea of how to serve you with the best possible content and in the best way, at the best times going forward!

Summer Treat Roundup

While the beginning of the school year tends to signal the kickoff of “fall” we’re technically only a little past the halfway point in summer (I googled it, apparently halfway was 8/5 lol). Luckily this means lots more time for summer sweet treats! Today, I’m rounding up the summer desserts I’ve enjoyed making thus far - including one of the most popular posts on The Amateur Apron, my delicious gluten free recipe for a classic ice cream treat!

The Amateur Apron Playlists

Guess what!! I made a Spotify account for The Amateur Apron so I could share my curated playlists with you! I take playlists seriously and there’s pretty much nothing better than finding a new one I really enjoy! If you love a little of everything when it comes to music, I hope you’ll follow TAA on Spotify as I continue to share more of my personal playlists for everything from risotto night to our wedding music, to feel good jams and more!

Whipped Ricotta and My Take on Gluten Free "Crostini"

A Simple and Sophisticated Appetizer

We had a very chill weekend celebrating my birthday, just hanging out around the apartment. We cooked risotto and steak, I beat Darrell in 3/3 rounds of Sequence, and we stayed up late to catch the latest episode of Big Brother! I whipped up this incredible appetizer in place of a birthday cake for my special treat and it was sheer perfection!

Amazon Blue and White Dresses

It’s my birthday! And I really love this dress! Such a weird start to 28 - we were getting ready for church this morning and felt an actual earthquake! Like wait, what?? So crazy! Anywho, I’ve been holding off on this particular post until today because I wanted to take pics of this dress on a day when I was actully going to wear it… I mean I guess I could have worn it around the apartment lol, but knowing we’d be going to church on my birthday (outdoor service, I’m still uneasy on crowds) I decided today would be a great reason to dress up!

Shop My Poshmark Closet!

I finally took the time to set up my Poshmark Closet!! Poshmark has become kind of a guilty pleasure for me - finding items I fell for but waited too long to purchase while they were in stock. I find so many great deals on pieces that are otherwise impossible to find! I hope you’ll connect with me on their platform! I might be adding some menswear - Darrell has a pile of name brand clothes he’s ready to part with - so stay tuned!

Walmart Favorites I Missed While Living in NYC

Kind of a weird topic for this month’s Friday Favorites post, but while grocery shopping in our new town, I realized how much I missed about Walmart while living in NYC! Lol - it’s true!! There were a few things in particular that while maybe available in NYC, we struggled to find them, so needless to say, Walmart brings me so much joy these days!!

Strawberry Slaw

Quick post tonight! We tried a recipe for Strawberry Slaw this evening and LOVED it! Glad we have leftovers because I’m excited to eat it again tomorrow as part of my lunch!! I love finding cooler side dishes for summer nights and this one is perfect! It’s relatively quick (especially with a few shortcuts) and requires simple ingredients.
