Just some photos from around the loft today.
You know it's hard for me to stray from a monochromatic palate, especially when it comes to my decor. I love my extra large (Euro size) mongolian fluff pillows but wanted to add something more. Sparkly pillows? Eh... I didn't really want to complicate things.

I was surprisingly drawn to this muted
DVF spotted cat sham. I thought about it for a couple weeks and decided to give it a try. Its a sham, so I can easily switch it out for another beautiful option, when I get tired of it.
What do you think?
I found these summery forks for 99 cents at Target.
The perfect way to inexpensively brighten up my white dishes.

As promised here is my quick, simple recipe for my version of a low calorie Carbonara. If you have been following my blog and Youtube channel, you might know I used to be overweight. My highest was 181 lbs, in the first year of college. I have been able to keep it off, though its a constant struggle with that 5 or 10 pounds that just wont seem to shed. I love good food, though would rather make my own healthier version of it so guilt doesn't kick in afterwards. Note: I made this normally super calorie filled pasta dish to suit my taste, it may not be considered a true Carbonara, but it certainly satisfies my craving.
RECIPE:
- Boil one serving of pasta. I chose my favorite, Linguini.
-Microwave two slices of bacon until crispy. When cooled, chop and set aside.
-Spray saute pan with olive oil PAM and saute 1/4 cup onion until some are crispy.
-Turn off the burner and let sit.
-Add the chopped bacon to the still hot saute pan and set mixture aside.
-Add the cooked pasta to the bacon and onions.
-Spray pasta mixture with zero calorie spray butter that can be found in the butter section of your supermarket.
-Mix well in the warm pan, serve and guiltlessly enjoy!
