Strawberry Rhubarb Compote

Have you ever had rhubarb? It used to grow wild in the woods behind my parents house but I never ate it back then (probably because we weren't supposed to eat things we found back there (except blackberries). I buy it now when I find it at my local farm store and it's in season.  
It signals that Spring/early Summer is here!
I think Rhubarb looks like red celery and is kind of bitter on its own.
But cooked up with a little sugar and paired with strawberries, it's delicious!  I've made it into a crisp but this time I wanted something a little lighter.
I used this recipe to make Strawberry Rhubarb Compote but it called for honey and my bear was full of solidified honey so I used plain white sugar.

You could make it even lighter with Splenda or Truvia if you wanted to.
Chop up the rhubarb and quarter the strawberries, add them, the 2 TBS of sugar (or honey) and 1 TBS of water to pot and bring to a boil .
Turn down the heat and simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes. 
Serve over peach ice cream or yogurt.
or eat right out of the pot
It's yummy cold too.
I found these silver rimmed glasses at a thrift store in Cape Cod years ago.
Looking for another scrumptious summer recipe? Try this Lemonade Ice cream Dessert. I made it last year and I just got a request to make it again for my daughter next week.

Enjoy!

Bathroom Paint Job

I gave you this little sneak peek a few weeks ago.  We were ready to repaint our master bath. It's the one room we had painted white (Benjamin Moore Spa White) when we moved in.  I've revealed all of our room redo's here, except this one.
Here's how it looked when we did our first walk through..you can only see a little glimpse of the hideous yellow sponged lovely color to the left of the photo.  
How can SHE be that little?
A better shot of the wall color which also covered our master bedroom walls. We didn't know what to do with all of that grey tile everywhere so to calm things down, we chose Spa White.


We also changed out the brass light fixtures for these brushed nickel beauts. To see more of our debrassifying, you can see it here and here.
Ahh...much less chaotic and relaxing.
It has stayed that way for the last few years but I've added in some color with towels and accessories.
I love my candle chandeliers. We use them outside a lot for summer and fall parties.
Eventually this room will get a major gut-job..I want a bigger shower and a smaller tub.

And a longer vanity.


Back to the inspiration towels.
And here's the NEW color up on the walls.
{Benjamin Moore Peacock Blue}

Some of the details.







My daughter's painting seems made for the space.
{she says it's too matchy matchy now so she needs to paint us a new one}

One more time for comparison's sake.
