Happy Weekend.

{Dana Veraldi}

It felt great to get back to regular blogging this week after almost a month of haphazard posts. Thanks for waiting out the flu and two Christmases with me!

You may have noticed one sizable change here over the past week: The Daily Eat is no longer with us. After a year and half I’ve decided it was time to take things in a fresher direction. One that is decidedly more true to Design Crush. So stay tuned to see where it goes, I promise to try not to disappoint!

My favorites from the past week (and maybe a few from the week before that, too!)…

S’mores + waffles = S’moreffles. Also know as, holy crap that’s genius!

Take advantage of the winter weather and make maple syrup taffy in the snow

So excited to see Sophie Blackall’s Missed Connections illustrations now available as prints

And Jessica Hische just took the print plunge with her Daily Drop Cap series

Loving Joy’s latest feature on happy lady eats, Lunch Lady, showing off what people eat for their mid-day meal

I’m quite sure you’ve seen Lisa Congdon’s A Collection a day, 2010 blog by now. But if you haven’t…

Quite possibly my favorite wedding to date

Let’s spraypaint on snow – why not?

The chic-est party cake ever

I heart quick bread. Here are ten amazing recipes.

Pretty DIY winter ice lanterns

This DIY grocery planner is destined for my fridge

Download this awesome seasonal calendar and be reminded of what fruits + veggies are in season, too!

Or download this one and have the entire year on one pretty piece of paper

There are tons of January desktop wallpapers running around – here are my favorites 1 + 2

Fun printable goal list to help you through the day

Happy Weekend!

The Daily Eat: Sushi Bowl.

I’m posting today’s The Daily Eat a little earlier than usual because I’m starving and just saw this recipe for the Sushi Bowl. Can you say yum?? It’s been way too long since I’ve lingered over sushi rolls and although I’m making an attempt to learn how to make my own (it’s not pretty) this deconstructed version looks hours easier!

The Daily Eat: Pear Crumble with Vanilla Brown Butter.

No matter how many hours spent at the office (14.5 yesterday) or ailments diagnosed with (mono as of this morning) I will always post The Daily Eat. This is my vow to you, Design Crushers.

This Pear Crumble with Vanilla Brown Butter looks yummy-licious. Pears are underutilized in my kitchen and this gives me a perfect opportunity to remedy that!
