Wildflower's TBA

I was desperately craving a good sandwich a few weeks ago after watching this video. So to the store I went. I bought some thinly sliced, golden roasted turkey, my favorite Muenster cheese, bacon, big, juicy ripe tomatoes, ripe avocados, and most importantly a big, oh so soft, oh so amazing loaf of fresh Tuscan bread, as it's titled at the store. This loaf pictured below is from Wegmans, a east cost grocery store (that the rest of the nation is seriously missing out on) but Target has one that is pretty much identical and just as yummy by Archer Farms.

While this is a simple sandwich, good quality ingredients are important!

The next important ingredient is the sauce. Obviously you could top this with lots of things, but my favorite is my homemade honey mustard. Now this is extremely easy to make. But the taste is pretty delightful. Just the other day I was making myself one of these sandwiches and my dad was tasting the honey mustard. And he didn't take just one taste. Taste, after taste, after taste, I finally offered to make him a sandwich and he said, "Actually, I just want a slice of bread with this stuff spread on it." So that's what I got him. Like I said, it's good stuff.

For the honey mustard you need;
4 tablespoons of mayo
2 tablespoons of honey
1 tablespoon of yellow mustard

Mix all ingredients together, and that's it! I save leftovers in the fridge. Makes enough for about 4-5 sandwiches.

Assemble your sandwich, turkey, cheese, bacon, tomato, avocado, honey mustard, toast lightly, and enjoy! I promise the flavors in this simple sandwich will amaze you!

DC Flea

This past week and weekend have been so much fun. I have mixed feelings with VA. The traffic is horrendous. Always. The people, to be totally honest, just are not as nice as they are in UT, or on the West Coast in general from what I hear. And I really do miss the mountains. And being able to go camping, or just going outside in general without being terrified of ticks. But all that aside, it is quite pretty here, there is so much history, and there are a lot of fun flea markets, a lot more farmers markets, antique stores and adorable pubs with yummy food.

On Saturday I went out with my parents to the DC Flea. It was so much fun! I bought way too much awesome stuff, but all for a killer deal.

I bought this cute ring. It's a little big on me so I will probably get a chain for it and wear it as a necklace. 

Once I loose enough weight (hopefully) I'll buy an ornate one, like this one.

I also bought a darling red basket, only $10! We used it the very next day. I am so happy with it. I might paint it white, or light blue, I can't decide!

I also bought this adorable white, craved wooden frame and this funny octopus postcard. 

And finally a croquette set!

We also went over to another antique store where I saw this cute globe. I want to try and DIY this! A Blog post soon to come on that, hopefully!

For lunch mom and dad took me to a British Pub, Hunter's Head Tavern. The food was so yummy, all fresh, local and organic. The house that the restaurant is in was originally built in 1750. The building still retains its original log cabin walls, fireplaces, mantels, floors on the upper stories, and even the original house well in the basement. The only change to the house has been the addition of the small kitchen at the back of the original building.

I wasn't too hungry, and still planned on going out with Dave once he got off from work, so I just got a small salad with chicken. 

It was Oh. My. Goodness. So. Tasty! I cleaned my plate! Spotless  I never do that. But seriously, so yummy.

I also got to try their bread that my mom always raves on about. 

So good. Flaky on the outside, incredibly soft on the inside. Words cannot describe how wonderful this bread is. If you are ever even remotely in the area, go there just to try the bread.

We then shared their warm chocolate chip bread pudding, topped with whipped cream and a bourbon sauce. 

So yummy! I have never had bourbon (surprise) but the sauce had an almost cinnamon flavor to it, which paired with the rich warm chocolate chips was perfection. 

Also, a lady at the Flea Market told me she loved my dress and thought I looked adorable. Fall is in the air and I am loving it! Fall is easily my favorite. Bring on the layered outfits, boots, sweaters and scarves!

 My lace dress and boots are from Target. So in love with them.
