leather look

one of my favorite looks at the moment is the LBD paired with a leather jacket. i need a leather jacket! how have gone this long without one?  a leather jacket is a staple piece that can be paired with so many different looks.

a taste of spain

one of my favorite dishes from my trip to spain was patatas bravas.  the dish is very simple, but there are so many different versions  of it.  i prefer the red chile sauce, and not the allioli sauce.  

1. make the brava sauce: Purée tomatoes, 1 tbsp. oil, wine, paprika, sugar, and chile in a blender. season with sea salt, transfer to a bowl, and set aside. 

2. pour oil into a 5-qt. pot to a depth of 1 1⁄2"; heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 220°. Meanwhile, halve potatoes crosswise. using a small knife, shape each potato half into a 1 3⁄4" x 1" football shape. transfer potatoes to oil and cook, turning occasionally, until tender and pale golden, 15–20 minutes. transfer potatoes to paper towels; chill. Remove pot from heat; reserve.

sprinkle me

i want to make these! so festive and so easy to make! i prefer to make the frosting from scratch, but pre-made frosting can be used as well, but it will need to be heated.  take pretzels and dip them in heated frosted and sprinkle them with fun sprinkles and allow them to cool on a plate or baking sheet.
