I love when pomegranates are in season. They are beautiful, delicious and fun to eat! Yes, getting the seeds out can be a pain, but I love munching on the seeds while watching a good movie or show. I can't wait to try some of these pomegranate recipes, don' they look awesome? I would love to start with the scones for breakfast, eat the salad for lunch, pizza for dinner with margaritas and the chocolate tart for dessert. Yuuum!

Next week I'm excited to share a really yummy, easy and healthy pomegranate dessert, so keep your eyes peeled for that :)

Lazy Sunday Links

As some of you may know, I recently started a new job. Going from a retail job with crazy hours and no weekends, to a typical 9-5 with Saturday/Sunday off has been awesome. Sure, sometimes I wish for a Tuesday off in order to grocery shop in peace. But having nights and weekends off is pretty amazing.

Sundays are particularly special because Tommy has the day off as well. Our Sunday mornings together usually consist of sleeping until 10 or 11am, drinking coffee, making brunch and watching football while I scour the internet for awesome stuff. I cherish these lazy Sundays because after working in retail for so many years, having a Sunday off is truly something to celebrate!

All this being said, I thought it would be fun to start sharing these links I find on Sunday morning. That way you too can enjoy a lazy Sunday, filled with internet awesomeness.

• This list of 20 Essential Dishes Every Cook Should Know is pretty spot on. I still need to perfect tomato sauce, steak and stir-fry noodles. 
• Vegan recipes always bring out the skeptic in me (does it actually taste good?) but this Chocolate Brownie Batter Blizzard is vegan and looks delicious!
• This video about the distribution of wealth in America is pretty scary/maddening. 
• A collection of prop styling ideas that are pretty inspirational. 
• I love these pieces by Nanna Hänninen featured on the Jealous Curator. The combination of colors with black, white and grey is beautiful. 
• Sometimes throwing on a wig sounds really appealing to me (no curling my hair!) This wig is stunning and look so real!
• I have been drawn to agate jewelry lately, and this 2-Step DIY Pendant Necklace is right up my alley! 
• These Zian Shooties from Anthropologie are so cute! Just a little out of my price range. Damn you Anthro. 
• These 19 Absolutely Necessary Products for Lazy People are ridiculous, but a self turning ice cream cone? Genius. 
• This Scale of the Universe will blow your mind a little. 
• I'm always looking for the perfect chocolate chip cookie, and this recipe for Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies looks pretty amazing!
• Can't wait for the series premiere of Girls tonight! This parody of Girls with kittens is so good I watched it twice. 

Garlic Bread Margherita Pizza

Basil, cheese, tomato and balsamic is one of my favorite flavor combinations. It's just so simple and perfect. But today called for something a little more glutenous due to the big Seahawks game (go Hawks!). Football is awesome like that, it gives me a reason to drink beer and make a dish that may be a little over the top.

And believe me, we are taking a simple margherita pizza over the top with roasted garlic and soft french bread.

Black and White Chocolate Coconut Macaroons

Oh hey there internet, I'm back!

Between the holidays and starting a job that requires me to be on the computer all day, I was feeling a little burnt out, and quite frankly, uninspired. But I'm ready to get back on the horse, and share more yummy things with you :)
