Bruschetta Burgers

Last night after getting back from the long drive, we stopped at our friend Evan's place for a little dinner. He happened to pick up this recipe book called "Building Better Burgers", and it has all of these award winning recipes for 'better burgers'. The one last night that we made was the Bruschetta Burger, and to my surprise was not hard to make at all. We followed a very simply recipe for Bruschetta, mixed the ground beef with spices, onions, and Gorgonzola cheese, topped it off with ham, and placed it in the middle of toasted french bread. It was a mouth watering experience to say the least, and even more enjoyable when you know its fresh. If you are interested in recipes like this one, or just love burgers, I suggest picking up this book!


Happy Eating!

Simply for your Eyes' Enjoyment

This weekend me and Tommy went to Orlando to visit my sister and her husband. Most of our time was spent at Disney riding roller coasters, so the only things I got to capture was her turtle Skulmon who will live to be over 100 years old! And a little spider.


Haha!

Lemonhead

Summer time brings about cravings of the sun, the beach, and specialty drinks like lemonade. I've come across a way to make fresh, single serving lemonade that anyone can enjoy, and I'd like to share it with all of you!

Start with one whole lemon and cut it into eighths.


Next, take all the pieces of the lemon, toss them into a glass, and begin to muddle. (If you don't have a muddle, a big spoon works just as well).


After muddling all the lemon juice out, add about 3 tablespoons of sugar (add more or less depending on how sweet or tart you prefer it), and also add ice and water to the very top of the glass.

Lastly, poor your mixture into a shaker, and shake vigorously. (This enables it to become cold as well as helping the sugar to dissolve).

Now Serve!

Its fast and easy to enjoy! Try it out!

Happy sipping!

Love,
Kèra

Orangia

My senior year of high school I did a project which entailed a fashion show to raise money for those suffering from leukemia. It was a hard process but ended up a success with a raising of over $1200. The fashions were donated by fashion designer Janelle who is the creator of her line Orangia. I completely fell head over heels in love with her clothing. She ended up creating a dress, and named it after me. I can't begin to tell you the excitement I was feeling at that very moment, but lets just say I could have been close to peeing my pants. A couple years have gone by and I received a text message from her today saying "The Kera dress in hot pink, your prom dress, was worn by Bridgett Marquadt playboy bunny on travel channel." I couldn't believe it! In one way or another she knows my name, and thats amazing.


If you want to check out more of Janelle's line, Orangia, you can go to www.orangiausa.com.
Happy Shopping!

Nature's Calling

Today was just way too beautiful not to be outside. Even though I am extremely exhausted from exam week, Mother Nature has once again called me out to play.

In a Nut Shell

I've had the best weekend. I went to Fort Lauderdale to visit the best friends anyone could ever ask for. Had the time of my life, and brought back some memories. Great start to an awesome summer!

Meet the Best
