Fruit Tart Yum....

Happy Monday! Hope you all had a relaxing weekend, wanted to share some pictures of a delicious fruit tart that I received. Yes, it is a bit early (my birthday is still a week way), but my Mom surprised me with this delicious and beautiful tart on Friday (thanks, Mom!) So sweet and tangy- and way too much for just the two of us, half of the tart is on its way to work with T!

Lunchtime at Plastica

Everyone is looking for a way to save some extra change, and bringing your lunch to work is one way to do it. Check out Plastica for some stylish options that will make lunchtime more fun than just a boring brown bag!

Loving these Bento Box kits, featured above, perfect for lunch or a fashionable picnic. Made of melamine and features stacking boxes with divisions within (no touching food, please!) enclosed by a metal bracket. I love the bright colors, and they are dishwasher safe- making clean up a cinch.

Check out the OOTS! Lunchbox. This guy is great and features a lid shaped to hold a water bottle under the strap. Inside the box are 5 perfectly fitting containers that are microwave safe, so that left over pasta from dinner can be easily re heated at the office. Too cute!

Mirasol Farm Jams

Happy Friday! I thought I would end this week that has been grey and rainy for its entirety with some bright and cheerful jams from Mirasol Farm. Located in River Falls, WI. on a retired dairy farm, Mirasol Farm makes everything from organic soaps and lotions to mouth watering jams that really caught my attention. Packaged simply and created with some delightfully fresh combinations like Raspberry Lemon and Wild Grape Cardamom, the jams are sure to brighten up your morning toast! They also offer a great 5 jar sampler pack, which would make an excellent gift for a jam lover!

Whimsy & Spice

Most of people think of etsy as the place for all things handmade, but few realize or think about the delicious, handmade foods that are also available. Whimsy & Spice, a Brooklyn based bakery, caught my eye because of their beautiful photography, simple packaging and drool worthy yummys! Check out their shop here and pick up some perfect gifts for Valentine's day- much better than the box of chocolates you can pick up in the supermarket! Click here for the Box of Valentine's Cookies featured above. 

I have my eye on this delightfully packaged sampler box- that way I can try all their goodies at once! 

Okay, this is not right- I am salivating posting these pictures! These sound great, I love the unusual mix of flavors. Check out these Chocolate Orange Cardamom shortbread cookies.
