{Summer Dinners} Creamy Pasta Florentine-Vegan

I definitely need to shake up our dinner routine because we get into a rut and are always making and eating the same things.  I thought I'd start a summer dinner series and try a new recipe every week or so and share it with you.
You can find the recipe for Vegan Lemon Florentine Pasta here.

The creamy sauce is made from soaked cashews and fresh lemon juice blended together.  The rest of the recipe comes together quickly by sautéing onion and garlic then splashing  in some white wine for flavor.  After that, fresh spinach is added in with the sauce and it thickens up as it cooks.  Served over pasta and garnished with some basil, this dish is really creamy, delicious and summery.  What's your favorite summer dinner?

{Photography}Another Senior Session

I think seniors are my favorite subjects to photograph!

 Getting to capture my niece as she graduates from high school was also very special.

 Who says you need outfit changes and lots of props?

 Sometimes a simple dress and a beautiful smile is all you need!

Wouldn't you agree?

From their website: "Ordinary bandages are made to absorb — not stop — bleeding. QuickStop products contain a blood clotting agent called m●doc Active, a naturally-derived coagulant. When contacting blood, it forms a soft, gel-like layer to stop bleeding fast & reduce the risk of reopening the wound."  Pretty cool!

{Philly} Day At the Theatre

Another Philly post, what do you know?  My ticket lottery luck struck again and I won the lottery for tickets to Cruel Intentions The 90's Musical.

The show was playing at the Kimmel Center in Philly and this was our first time going to this venue.  My romper is from this post.

We were able to pick which show and time we wanted and selected a Saturday matinee.

The theatre is gorgeous.

We didn't know anything about the musical but I had listened to the soundtrack and knew it was going to be a good one.

The show is based on the movie by the same name and is full of 90's hit tunes. We knew them all.  It was a really fun show!

After the show we walked around looking for a place for dinner but ended up at our favorite Bar Bombón.  That queso was amazing!

It was such a beautiful night and we didn't want to leave.

Rittenhouse Square was looking so picture perfect.

We needed to walk off our dinner and were enjoying the perfect spring night.

The gardens were all blooming and the park was hopping.

This trip we really took our time and discovered some new things.

Like this Giant Frog sculpture.

You can't get a much better day/night than this one was!

{Philly} Lincoln Financial Field Gig

Mr. Click's band had a super fun gig at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.

I had never even been to the field so to get to see it so close up was amazing.

 We had the place pretty much to ourselves so of course we had to take some photos.

I took some "official" band photos too.

 The gig was a corporate pharmaceutical trade show and Swoop made an appearance.

I had a great views of the city and the field from the event space.

 And an up close seat to see this band I know. :)

It was such a fun night and special experience!
