On the side, I enjoyed a ramekin full of fresh cantaloupe.
"Will you marry me?" "Yes, but we cant-aloupe!"
Quite the colorful and tasty spread!
Amish Friendship Bread Update
I brought about ¾ of a loaf of Amish Friendship bread to work today (the recipe I made last night yields two loaves) and within an hour, this is what remained:
The Remains
The highly addictive nature of this bread has led me to believe one thing, which I tweeted about earlier today:
Tweet, Tweet
I seriously couldn’t stop eating this stuff. Thank goodness it’s G-O-N-E.
I’m pretty sure that consuming more than half of a loaf of this bread within a 15-hour timeframe is not on most soon-to-be brides’ list of “things to do.” 😉
Phenomenal Giveaway!!!
As I hinted about yesterday, I have one heck of an awesome giveaway for you guys today!!!
I fell in love with an adorable print I saw on Tina’s blog back in January that proclaimed “Keep Calm and Love Pugs.” I thought it was so cute and also served as a good reminder to keep calm in life and cherish the little things that bring you joy.
When I saw another “Keep Calm” print show up on Caitlin’s blog last week, I was reminded of the print and immediately headed to the artist’s store (The Lobster Pot) on Etsy.com to browse the prints and purchase one for our apartment.
I contacted Barb, the artist, to see whether or not she could make me specialized print in honor of my slight obsession with Sadie. I requested a “Keep Calm and Love Vizslas” print and was excited when Barb emailed me back saying she could easily make me one!
When Barb saw that I had a blog of my own, I got an email from her saying she’d love to offer a giveaway on the ol’ blog.
Now you guys have a chance to win a Keep Calm print of your choice!
To enter this giveaway, simply comment on this post telling me what you’d want your “Keep Calm” print to say.
I will randomly select a winner tomorrow afternoon.
Good luck! 😀

i know it’s super simple, but i’m a big fan of the “keep calm and carry on” print…or it could say “keep calm and love labs” 🙂
Keep calm and love love!!
Oh…and I second keep calm and love labs! I have 2 chocolates.
Ok, I actually already have 2 of these – one being a ‘keep calm and love shoes’ and the other being a magnet from thenheathersaid saying ‘keep calm and eat some bacon’! I just had to share. 🙂
Keep Calm and Eat Ice Cream 😀
i second that! 😉
I would say “Keep Calm and Love Life”.. I am all about loving life at the moment!
Keep calm and love running fits me perfectly. 🙂
Love these.
Keep calm and drink wine.
I’ve been looking for something to put in our “bar” area.
Keep calm and carry on or keep calm and be a nerd!
Keep Calm and Love Cooking!
Keep Calm and Drink Wine. Enough said. 🙂
Keep Calm and Love Cycling
OR
Keep Calm and Go Cycling 😀
Ahhh I love those prints, too! I think I’d pick the “Keep Calm and Love Running” one! 🙂
The Amish bread looks fantastic! 😀
If I were to win the Keep Calm giveaway, I would want the print above (Keep Calm and Love Running)
Cheers!
I love the classic Keep Calm and Carry on prints with the crown on them. Love love love.
These prints are so fun – I would have to go with Keep Calm and Love Labs 🙂 I think it would be the perfect gift for my sister, who just got a chocolate lab puppy!!
Keep Calm and Eat Cheese!
YES!!!
Keep Calm and Love Yourself
I’d love Keep Calm and Drink Wine…..or the classic, Keep Calm and Carry On.
such an awesome giveaway!! thanks julie!
Or…Keep Calm and Love Carbs. Because let’s be honest, who doesn’t? 🙂
this may be my favorite one yet!
I’m just gonna say you’re officially my inspiration for lunch today. Taco salad, need I even say more? Open the fridge and bam, easily one of the simplest/yummiest recipes ever invented, equally. Carrying on with the Spanish theme, I’m gonna throw out “Keep Calm and Viva la Vida” as mine. Ain’t it beautiful? It even has a nice ring to it…
I would go with either “Keep Calm and drink coffee” or “Keep Calm and Love Dogs” (because I have 2 different ones I can’t list a breed, plus ones a mutt)
Those are so cute! I love “Keep Calm and Carry On”
Although the Keep Calm and Love Running is probably more appropriate, I prefer Keep Calm and Eat Cheeseburgers!
LOL!
I love the keep calm and love running one. Even simpler, I’d love a Keep Calm and Run On. Sounds a lot like the original poster but hints at a love of running. Which I do!
(I may have to order a keep calm and love goldendoodles poster for my mother!)
I love those signs – they’ve been all over the blogosphere. What a great giveaway!
I would choose – ‘Keep Calm and Drink Martinis’ 🙂
I love my dog to pieces – my husband thinks I’m nuts. Keep Calm and Love Wrigley (the name of my “slight obsession” – a Westie).
I really want one of her “Keep Calm and Carry On” prints! I’ve been in love for a while now and just haven’t actually bought one yet..
Well…if I were to get them about dogs…I’d say keep calm and love mutts (my favorite “breed”) or keep calm and love dachshunds!
Otherwise…keep calm and love moving.
Keep Calm and Drink Coffee! Oxymoron? Maybe!
mine would have to be “keep calm & drink coffee”! hahaha.
keep calm and love pugs.
we have a pug of our own 😀
I still love the orginal, but I’m kinda liking “Keep Calm and Shop On” or “Keep Calm and Drink Ritas”
Final choice would be “Keep Calm and Drink On” for our bar area.
“Keep calm and love shopping” or “keep calm and love ice cream”
I absolutely love those prints and even if I don’t win I’m thinking of getting one now that you mention she can customize. Nice!
I’d want mine to say: Keep Calm and Read a Book. Though Keep Calm and Carry On is really perfect.
keep calm and love the journey.
i LOVE these prints! going to look into buying one right now — then if i win i’ll have two!
Keep calm and love Labs. Seriously, i don’t think i’ve ever wanted to win a giveaway more, my husband and I would love to have this in our house!
Oh my gosh I’ve been dying for one of those for weeks now!! I really want the “Keep Calm and Eat Cupcakes” one! 😀
keep calm and love me !!!!!!!!
Keep Calm and Drink Wine!
I know exactly where I’d put it, too… 🙂
How cute! I’d want one to say “Keep Calm & Drink Coffee” or “Keep Calm and Love Running”.
I’d love a pink one that says keep calm and have faith! =)
I would either want the “Keep Calm and Love Running” poster orrr I would make my own that said “Keep Calm and Love to Laugh”
Hands down: Keep Calm and Love Peanut Butter!
a girl after my own heart. 😉
Ah love the keep calm and eat carbs comment! I think mine would have to be keep calm and drink beer…not quite as classy as wine, but hey, it’s fitting!
I like Keep Calm and Drink Wine!!!
Oh man.. too many.. I like ‘Keep Calm & Love Life’ .. I also like ‘Keep Calm & Love the journey’ ..Maybe just ‘Keep Calm and Love!’ .. Fun Fun!!
Keep calm and love veggies!!!
Keep Calm & Latte On
Speaking of which, I could go for a latte right now…
But if we’re just picking from existing prints, I would choose the “Keep Calm and Drink Martinis” one. 🙂
I love this one! I’d have to sort through my options…
Keep Calm and:
– Drink Wine
– Eat Peanut Butter
– Eat Cookies
Wow… those make me sound so… indulgent. 🙂
Keep Calm and Drink Diet Coke.
SO me!
“Keep calm and eat Peanut Butter” 😉
