Last evening, I wanted something hearty and easy to make. I'd been making beauty products all afternoon and was ready for a nice dinner. Wasn't in the mood for fast food, didn't feel like going to a restaurant, and my husband had a series of meetings that day and was probably going to be as hungry as I was! :) The garlic infused turkey breasts was just the thing. What you'll need: The turkey breasts tenderloins, of course. Cooking wine. ( 1/2 cup) Olive Oil. (1/2 cup) 8 tsp minced garlic 2 tsp salt 2 tsp cracked black pepper I did the next step in two hours, but if you're planning your meals beforehand, you can do this next step for up to 72 hours prior to cooking. After rinsing turkey breas
This week, I've been enjoying some of my favorite outdoor areas in the city, one of which is Commons Park. It's wonderful to have a park like this right in the heart of the city, a bit of a break from the hustle and bustle, while connecting downtown with the highlands. The South Platte River runs through Commons, and while standing in the center of the park, there are no shortage of amazing views of the city. It's a wonderful location to check out fireworks shows that happen throughout the year as well. This summer, there's been an added treat, as stunning sculptures by artist Jorge Marìn have been displayed in the area. Jorge Marín is a Mexican sculptor and painter. He has been an active fi
Having a blast in some of my favorite outdoor areas of Denver this week. Plus 303 Face | Body turns 5 next Monday!
bou·tique bo͞oˈtēk/ noun 1. a small store selling fashionable clothes or accessories. 2. a business that serves a sophisticated or specialized clientele. "a small investment boutique" Who doesn't love a fabulous boutique? If you don't, you may want to get acquainted with a few. This week I visited Queen City General Store, which originally housed Pandora on the Hill, the boutique which sponsored the first craft fair that I ever took part in. The first time that I walked by here it was late spring, and I actually did a double take.. not because Pandora on the Hill was no longer there, ( I subscribe to their emails and was aware of their new location) but because I saw a lot of succulents in t
First of all, how amazing to just experience actual photos. Not what's stored on the Canon, computer, or iPhone.... actual photos. In jr. high and high school, I loved creating collages. "Show Off" style binder folders for school held photos of family, friends, and boyfriends. Thumbing through magazines, cutting out my favorite images to bring various moments from here, there, and everywhere were also brought to life.. all in one place. Scrapbooking was the natural next step after collages. Digitally, I have an endless scrapbooking collection, yet with numerous photos and fun thoughts of the moments, physically creating the albums is one of my new favorite things, and the books will be adorn
Lundy. Pronunciation: /ˈlʌndi/ 1A granite island in the Bristol Channel, off the coast of north Devon. 2A shipping forecast area covering the Bristol Channel and the eastern Celtic Sea. .... or Chicken a' la Lundy, the dish. After a day of reformatting parts of 303 Face | Body, I didn't begin dinner until 8pm. Oh who am I kidding, that is not so uncommon for me. I also knew that this dish would not take long to create at all, so we were eating within the hour. I literally came up with this recipe while I was at the grocery store this morning. I'm sure a lot of cooks would agree that this is not a hard thing to do. You know what taste good together, and part of the fun with creating recipes i
Busy days and sleepy nights have caused what was originally planned as a late winter project to go into a mid-summers shame, as I still have not made five photos of mine (which I've already selected by the way) into the wood panel photos that will sit above the cupboard there in the five easels pictured. Growing tired of looking at the empty easels, I recently set my mind at ease while I created a temporary fix here with an assortment of cookbooks on display. I really love the way the temporary fix looks, however I must eventually get the pictures done! M Lundy is the creator of 303 Home | Loft | Wellness and Founder of 303 | Face | Body who always sets her sights on a myriad of projects and
"Oscar Style" Topped with asparagus, crab cakes and bearnaise sauce. Bearnaise sauce (French: Sauce béarnaise) is a sauce of clarified butter and egg yolks flavored with tarragon and shallots, with chervil and tarragon simmered in vinegar to make a reduction. I originally meant to write this post last evening, however I could hardly keep my eyes open, and retired to the bedroom to meet up with Mr. Sandman. One of my favorite restaurants is Ruth's Chris, and having the steak prepared "Oscar Style" is usually my selection. I thought I'd give it a go at home, sans the asparagus. My husband and I went up to the market and bought a nice london broil, along with a cut of salmon for the oscar porti
A lover of cute boutiques, plants and flowers, I was absolutely thrilled to come across Sacred Thistle after lunch with my husband on May Day of this year. Located in the Golden Triangle in Denver, Colorado (or sacredthistle.com) this floral boutique has stunning florals and succulents. The beauty in my hand matches my dress:) Let me tell you, they have one of the most awesome card selections ever! Lil John, Lil Wayne, John Wayne (lower left) and the Kanye card, haha!! There are also wonderful finds for your home, including gemstones, incense, sculptures and art. My first visit there, I gushed about a stunning lavender rose. ... and naturally my husband purchased it for me:) This go 'round,
tinc·ture ˈtiNG(k)(t)SHər/ noun 1. a medicine made by dissolving a drug in alcohol. "the remedies can be administered in the form of tinctures" synonyms:solution, suspension, infusion, elixir "tincture of iodine" Home remedies for life's minor ailments are a wonderful way to be able to take care of yourself and your family, and it's not difficult to create the blends, or tinctures, that allow you to do so at all. Chamomile flowers are a favorite of mine, and a chamomile tincture works wonderfully for aiding against headaches, settling the stomach, as well as a stress reliever. You can take one dose orally (one teaspoon) a day for best results. The instructions for making your own tincture ar
Last week was a busy one, and I unfortunately was unable to blog about tinctures. No need to worry, this week, it's happening:) I'm also delighted to announce the newest products to the 303 Face | Body line.
On June 20, my husband and I made our way to San Jose (and San Francisco.) Although I'm a native to California, it was my first time visiting these areas, and of course, we had a delightful time. I also had a blast shopping, and finding fun little souvenirs. You most certainly cannot go to San Francisco without returning with a cable car of some sort.. I instantly fell in love with this cable car music box, and found a neat place in the loft to display it. I also fell in love.. not with another man, with Muji. "No Brand, Quality Goods" is their logo, and quality is right. Such a clean, modern, all in one store. Unfortunately, there are not any locations in Colorado, but hallelujah for online
Yes, I've just used a kids word for dinner here.. but trust me, this is for the love of a delicious dinner for adults. After a delightful visit to California last week, I really haven't cooked since my husband and I returned. If you're like me, after a while you need a nice, home cooked meal, and that's what is happening this evening.. stuffed cornish hens. I made two, and that is what this recipe calls for. For this dinner, you'll need two pears, sliced. Look what's making a return! Chive flowers. You'll need about twelve, six for each hen. Garlic, twelve cloves, six per hen. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. One sliced pear per hen, six garlic cloves per hen, and six chive flowers per hen. Afte
