Don’t you just love this week that's snuggled between Christmas and New Year’s? It’s sort of a much-needed recovery
week after all the festivities. What do you have planned for the rest of the
year?
We generally stay in town during this
time, with maybe an overnight getaway to the mountains or somewhere in San Diego,
like La Jolla or Coronado. Nothing planned yet, but we might rally and pull
something together!
I do like to cook when it gets cold
out like it is now. It is 53 degrees out at the moment, but there’s a really
chilly northern wind blowing!
I love how turning on the oven and
baking something yummy just warms up the whole house and creates a cozy aroma
that makes you just want to cuddle up by the fire and hibernate!
The upcoming weekend is the perfect
time to bake some fresh blueberry muffins. This recipe for Lemon Blueberry
Muffins with Streusel Topping is one I created exclusively for Farmhouse Style
Magazine and is set to appear on newsstands in the next few weeks.
I can’t giveaway the recipe just yet,
but I can tell you the texture of these muffins reminds me of the most delicious
pound cake. You see, they’re baked with sour cream and buttermilk to extract the
most decadent flavor from the blueberries and lemon zest!
The muffins are then topped with a
crunchy streusel topping and baked. I combined four different recipes to create
this one, because I envisioned a perfect combination of certain ingredients and
of course this amazing crunch topping!
The issue comes out around January 15th. You can see a preview of it here...
Also in this issue of Farmhouse Style
is a really unique idea for a pillow. My friend Brenda Kristine created this
gorgeous patchwork pillow from remnants of beautiful vintage linens!
You can see all the details here on
my favorite Serena & Lily Mattituck chair that sits in my family room.
Isn’t the pillow just divine? Brenda’s so creative!
When this issue comes out, you can read every detail
of how she puts these amazing patchwork pillow together!
Here’s how it appears in the magazine
among other fun patchwork DIY projects.
Look for the Spring issue of Country Sampler Farmhouse Style next month for an issue filled with lots more inspiration and decorating ideas!
I’m so thankful that during the past
year I’ve been able to collaborate with the most amazing magazines and editors
in the design world. It’s really a dream come true!
I'm looking forward to 2019 and creating more yummy recipes, fun tablescapes and decorating ideas.
Thanks so much to YOU for traveling this creative journey with me, and remember I LOVE to hear your input and what some of your favorite themes are!
What would you like to see more of in 2019?
