Coconut Doughnuts

I love everything about coconut so when I came across these coconut doughnuts on one of my favorite blogs Cannelle et Vanille, I knew they were much too scrumptious to keep to myself.   Such a sophisticated version of the coconut gems I loved as a child!

In the Bedroom

If your mama was Betsy Burnham, your room would be this cool too. The technicolor palette and  kooky accessories are masterfully tamed with soulful antiques and global influence. It’s youthful and feminine without being predictable or saccharine. Well done!

Nothing says summer like ice cream!  After seeing this interesting recipe twist with ice cream and popcorn, my sweet tooth will be in heaven.  Sweet and salty… a perfect combo indeed!

Fair food

Saveur’s mouthwatering slideshow of fair favorites captures the very best parts of carnivals and fairs for me – the food! Now I don’t have to wait until next summer to get my kettle corn, elephant ear, and funnel cake fix!
