Again, I've taken a long break from posting here. All is well, but you know how busy life gets, especially during the summer. I'm hoping to be back soon with some fun posts that don't include just Instagram photos or Pinterest finds. But for now, here's what I've been up to lately.

WardrobeWednesday: Nautical Fall
Nautical is a popular look over the summer to celebrate Independence Day or spend a day on the water. But I'm loving a hint of nautical (think stripes, navy blue, peacoats, wool, gold buttons and loafers) for the fall.

WhichOneWednesday: Green tomato recipes
In true North Dakota style, our fall is over almost before it began. Yesterday it was 80 degrees; tomorrow we're looking at 20s with a good chance of a snow storm.
So today I trudged to my garden over my lunch hour and went to work harvesting what remained in my cute little plot. I'd hoped my Brussels sprouts would mature on the stocks, and I'd prayed my tomatoes naturally blush on the vine. But alas, Mother Nature didn't care about my plans.
Now my pantry is stocked with a paper grocery sac full of green tomatoes waiting for me to figure out their fate. Being a first-year gardener, this is a new vegetable (OK, Stephanie Tanner, fruit) for me to handle with my not-so-hot kitchen skills.
This is the part where I ask you for help and beg your expertise. Which one of these recipes should I try?
The obvious choice, Baked Green Tomatoes?
Or maybe these tasty looking Green Tomato Tartines:
Perhaps some Pickled Green Tomatoes:
How about Green Tomato Bread?
Green Tomato Marmalade, anyone?

Stylin'Saturday: Fall coats
I woke up this morning wearing long johns and wool socks. I still refuse to turn on the heat; it's not THAT cold. But this new chill in the air (not to mention the first day of fall) has me thinking about how to stay warm. In North Dakota, the fall season lasts about two weeks before plunging us into winter, so coats need to be functional and capable of handling the layers required to maintain proper body temperature when it's below zero.
