The Holiday in Indiana

My mom sent me this and said "Sam dreaming of what she's going to take pictures of at age 3!" 

Apparently I decided early on what I wanted to be when I grew up....

Indiana

I went back home for a few days...

Maid-Rites are probably one of the best things ever invented...if you're ever in Greenville OH its a must!

Nothing like having a beer at my old soccer club! Only a German soccer club would have a bar in their clubhouse! 

It was so amazing being home...

What I've been up to lately...

I've been pretty busy the last couple weeks. 

I shot the inside of my friend, Chris Allen's album cover a few weeks ago. It's coming out on iTunes soon, can't wait! (Stay tuned for images from the shoot)

I shot the cutest little girls birthday party! Check out her moms blog http://catchmyparty.com, its so adorable!

Finally made it to LACMA! It only took me a year and a half.

Went wine tasting up in Malibu at Malibu Wines! It was gorgeous. The wines were awesome and they had horse shoes! 

Went from LA to Indiana.

Probably one of my favorite fortunes I've gotten in awhile. 

Cooking Project... Chocolate Chip Cookies

To end this mini cooking project my brother and I made cookies! It was very hard not to eat all of the dough before we made the actual cookies but we managed. 

Cooking Project...Chipotle Chicken

For this dinner I let Mackenzie, my little brother chose the menu. He decided he wanted chicken marinated in a chipotle sauce with mashed potatoes and green beans. I was a little worried that chipotle sauce and mashed potatoes wouldn't go together but it was surprisingly good! 

My favorite!

My little brother. 

Surprised at how well it turned out! Good job Mackenzie! 

Cooking Project...Broccoli Cheddar Soup

I've been a little slow getting these up but my little brother and I took a stab at broccoli cheddar soup! I've never made soup before but I think it turned out pretty good for my first time. 

I was very worried when it started to look like this! 

Perfect snack while cooking...more CHEDDAR! 

YUM!

Cooking Project...Mexican Pizzas

Continuing my cooking project I decided to make Mexican Pizzas. Both of my brothers were home and they wanted comfort food. I immediately thought of Mexican Pizzas. They're something my mom has been making ever since I was little. They might not be what most people think of when they think of Mexican Pizzas but there delicious and super simple to make. All you need is tortillas, kidney beans, beef, seasoning and cheese! I also decided to make taco salad. 

Left the wine behind!

The night went off to just an amazing start (not). We couldn't figure out how to use our moms food processor and then a tortilla got stuck under the oven racks and started to burn. Luckily the smoke detectors didn't go off.  

Easy breezy night of cooking.

My brothers were happy, I was happy, it was a very nice dinner.
