Do you know Sweet Paul yet? I bet most of you do. If you do not please dash over (when you are done over here) to check out his stunningly delicious & creative blog Sweet Paul….

If there is an online creative personality who I want to me in my next life it might just be Paul Lowe. His keen eye for design, style, food & creative projects are beyond inspiring! I think if we hung out for realz we would hit it off phenomenally. Actually I have no doubt of that!

The amount of work, time & energy that goes into these publications must be astounding. There is a true artful eye & great amount of love on every page. I have a hard copy subscription & I gotta say these mags are keepers for the creative library. The paper quality & photography (not to mention stunning projects & mouthwatering recipes) will blow your mind.

OK. Back to the Eat & Make book….

The recipe I’m sharing today is on page 20 (how fabulous would this be for July 4th breakfast & brunch?!)

From the moment I thumbed the pages I wanted to prepare & taste everything. The crafts are beautiful, simple, inexpensive & super accessible. The Coffee Filter Flowers are gorgeous & I must make a Dip Dyed Tablecloth asap!

Chapters in Eat & Make are divided up into times of the day…Morning, Brunch, Noon & Night. A few recipes that I’m gonna cook up asap are:

No one can resist such a fantastic breakfast! I can even have it as a sweet snack! Thanks Marla for introducing Sweet Paul’s book. Wish I could enter the giveaway! You know I’m in Turkey, that’s why I can’t. Pinning this beauty for sure!

So summery and festive. That would be an amazing breakfast on July 4th. My “craft” is really cooking- or photography, which is amazing in the summer when there are so many sunny days. Recipe- anything frozen! Smoothies, fro yo, frozen chocolate covered bananas Yum.

Grilled food in the summertime is my favorite. My family loves making “foil packets” filled with veggies. Traditionally they have regular potatoes, onions, carrots, and broccoli in them, but when I make them on my own I use sweet potatoes and include everything from sweet corn to edamame to artichokes and green beans. Yum!
