it's amazing that in the course of the last 6 months
i have really fallen in love with my kitchen.
i was having a blah day last week,
and wanted nothing more than to just put on some music,
pour a glass of wine, and cook up something for no good reason.
that is love.
and let me tell you.
not only did i feel better after whipping up this little creation,
i also felt better after eating it. DELICIOUS! i loved this.
the tart lemon flavor, combined with the sweet vanilla bean seeds,
topped with the juicy boozy berries. honestly a new fave.
