Raw Melissa's Cooking Class + Jacob's Cove Heritage Farm

Thanks to Dresden, I got the link to a cooking class for last Saturday that took place at a local farm literally 1/4 mile from my house. I signed up eagerly! Everything we made was so yummy, and my favorite part was that the teachers of the class picked the ingredients out back moments before they started cooking. I am a big fan of fresh, local produce and the less it's tampered with, the better. We made so many yummy things- Here's a picture of the kale coconut ice cream they made us (topped with a few raspberries).
Who knew kale was so good in a sweet dish?

My other faves were the fresh basil walnut pesto (which I'm making tonight) and the pea and lime hummus. I was not disappointed! Jen Johnson and Lindsey Johnson did a great job! I love food + cooking. Plus Kara's reactions to the amazing food made it that much better :)

Also, apparently Jacob's Cove Farm does a CSA (where they provide shares of their fruits/veggies for a certain amount of weeks to you if you sign up and pay in advance.) If I was staying here I'd for sure sign up for it.

Things I want

Pinterest is spoiling me- I have a billion things I want, or want to make.

Like this succulent wreath- its ALIVE.

I've been saving the link to this vanilla milk with chocolate ice cubes for about 3 years...I should probably make it soon. I have a serious thing for chocolate milk.

I love VW's. I even had a bug in high school. (It's gone now that my brother forgot to put oil in it and it caught on fire). This onesie is WAY too cute.

S'mores are my favorite part of camping.

I have these gap jeans, but they're not as flared as this. I want these so bad! I found Kendi's website this week and her outfits are amazing. Now I need an entire new wardrobe!

RIP food processor

i took my built up frustrations out on my food processor last night. the thing has never closed easily. i was struggling with the lid yet again last night and ended up breaking of the plastic piece that it needs to close the lid, so that the thing will actually turn on. looks like she's a goner:

now it's time for one of these:
