Ginger hitchin' + the kitchen expands.

So. Its been SOME TIME since my last bloggy blog. But life has been CAHRAZY. Like crazy. 

Like CHECK THIS OUT
YEAH UKELELES!?! 
Pretty cool....
BUT
AlSO
SERIOUSLY
WE'RE GETTIN' HITCHED BITCHES!

So yes, my best friend and partner in crime proposed two weeks ago and it was just absolutely the happiest day. The next year is going to be an absolute PARTY. 
We've even started CAKE TASTING!


 Yes cake. 
Thanks to lovely folks at Pentunias Pies & Pastries for these delicious GLUTEN-FREE treats. 
Yeah beezies. I said it.  
gluten-free
Shane couldn't even tell, so no whiners at the wedding please.
My lovely friend (AND BRIDESMAID) Jenn introduced me to this bakery. 
It spews cuteness and glitter. Seriously. There was glitter all over the cupcakes.
If you're in Portland, you should check them out. 

Other than being up to my ears in wedding business (woooooo), I am happy to say I am now working with Kitchen Commons and Village Gardens  on a Collective Cooking Group, as the cooking group coordinator. We are focused on bringing families back into the kitchen, emphasizing healthy cooking, budgeting time and money, and building community. Once a month, our group will be getting together to cook and share a meal. I'll be sharing our recipes and doing a recap of each meeting via this blog! I am super excited to help facillitate this program in my neighborhood. 


I even bought this awesome CRAZY FOR KALE cookbook as a fun recipe source....

I may just be crazy at this point...
