first aid kit.

darling swedish sisters, first aid kit.  enjoy.

autumn goodness.

remember us..?

we're alive!  goodness, i don't even remember how to blog.  jared & i have been keeping busy with work, school, and a little traveling here and there (maui, we just couldn't help ourselves...  a few maui photos can be seen ::: here :::)

right now we are loving the beautiful autumn weather and changing of the leaves.  my sweet sister dori came by last night with some tomatoes from her garden.  they're gorgeous.  and if that wasn't enough, she also brought over some pumpkin gingerbread, fresh out of the oven, with cream cheese cinnamon goodness to slather on it.  mmm mmm mmm.  she's fabulous.. thank you dori!

through the end of the summer season i was itchin to open the windows.. autumn couldn't come soon enough.  autumn is my favorite.  open windows are also my favorite. i love breezes and fresh air coming into our little apartment.  this morning we woke to the smell of rain and raindrops on the window above our bed.  another favorite.  before jared went to work i made a batch of dutch babies.  yes please.  that's our second round of dutch babies this week.  my favorite (and i think it's the traditional way to eat them) is powdered sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice.  the first time i made them this week, i didn't have a lemon, so i squeezed an orange on them.  still fantastic.  i still haven't picked up lemons.. so this morning we gave our dutch babies a little blueberry preserves lovin.

otis redding, sam cooke, al green, and nina simone joined us for breakfast. and jared & i shared a sweet dance in the kitchen before he left for work.  another favorite.

happy autumn everyone.  get out and enjoy it.

happy belated valentine's.

better late than never!! happy belated lovers day to you all. pictured above is savvy girl enjoying my valentine's chrysanthemums (one of my favorites.. good job, jared).

jared took me to our favorite restaurant, reef's, in park city. israeli/mediterranean food. (sorry, no photos). but i'm not kidding.. the best food either of us have ever had, every single time we go. make plans to eat there the next time you're in park city!

we hope everyone had a wonderful valentine's... much much love to you all.

dear old dad.

our wonderful D.O. (dear old dad) passed away last week. he will be greatly missed. my brother, tyler, said of my grandpa,

"Albert E. Knight, from February 24, 1921 until today... holds the records as the best hunter, the best baseball player, the best pilot, the best fisherman, & the best comic of the Knight Family. This world has seen many men come and go. You would be hard pressed to find a more noble or more honorable man. A true Knight."

we were so happy to have mom, dad, trevlyn, mark & kiddos be able to come up for D.O.'s funeral. my dad and all three of his siblings contributed to a beautiful service and shared such wonderful memories of their father. D.O.'s obituary can be found here.

mmm mmm mmm.

after a failed attempt at stuffing our faces with red iguana again (too hungry to wait an hour for a table), we ended up at stoneground tonight. GREAT dinner. i highly recommend the chipotle shrimp with polenta and yummy goodness. and then there was dessert which blew our minds. hot cinnamon & sugar donuts with ice cream. that's right. it happened.

red iguana.

jared and i went to red iguana last night. and basically, i now want to go there every day, forever. i hadn't been in a while and this place is seriously good. if you're ever in SLC and need a place to eat, come here. how's that for an endorsement?
