Warning: Addictive TV Ahead

I don't know how, but sometime on Sunday between watching Precious and procrastinating what really needed to be done, I stumbled upon some TV Gold. Gold I tell you! It is on WE TV and it is called My Fair Wedding with David Tutera.

Here is the premise of every show: 3 weeks before the wedding, David shows up and takes over the wedding. When he shows up, the bride shows him what she has planned. Then he decides what is craptastic and what he wants to change. He takes the Bride to look at 3 options of all the things he wants to change, but doesn't tell her which one he picked until the wedding day.

Here's what I LOVE about this show: You couldn't make up the crazy crap that these people have planned! Watching David's response (or lack of response in some cases) is some of the funniest television I've ever seen.

Sometimes the dress is bad. Sometimes the bridesmaid dresses are bad. Sometimes the theme is bad. Sometimes the colors are bad. Sometimes it is the venue (hello Fire Hall, I'm talking about you). All and all, they end up with a FABULOUS wedding that not only is a ton more expensive than what they were planning in most cases, but way more beautiful and elegant.

Episodes aren't airing right now (I got in on a repeat marathon), but new episodes are starting up this June. The episodes I saw were primarily Brooklyn, New Jersey, Pennsylvania weddings, but I saw where this new season is focusing on LA and DALLAS! I can wait to see what kind of tragic train wreck of weddings that David saves! You know the Dallas girls could have some CRAZY CAKES kind of ideas!

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau

Europe 2023 {Day 9 ~ Munich & Bavarian Alps}

 On Tuesday, December 20th I grabbed breakfast at the hotel and then walked about 15 minutes to where I met my tour for the day.  On my first visit to Munich, I only had time for one "day trip" outside of the city and I chose to go to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, but I always knew I wanted to venture down to the Bavarian Alps and see some castles on my next visit.  I had booked the premium tour and it was so fancy.  There was a snack bar and they even served beer and wine on the way home after the last stop of the day.  First stop was at Linderhof Castle. This was a "small" castle of King Ludwig's that was a partial mini-replica of Versailles.  It was a snowy walk to the castle... Interior photos were not allowed, but you can see some pics of the interior HERE Like Versailles, there are fountains and sculptures surrounding Linderhof, but they cover the statues with wood huts to protect them from the winter elements. After visiting Linderhof, we made a (to

It's all about the dress...

I mean I guess it's really all about getting married, but come on, you always anticipate the dress right?  Well holy moly folks!  Today a big secret was released to the press.  No, we still don't know which dress or tiara Kate will be wearing, but we heard for the first time that Princess Diana had a back-up dress!  Here are some of the pictures and sketches... Real dress on Left~ Back-up on the Right Here are the sketches of the back-up dress And you know what?  I like the back-up dress better than the one she wore!  I know, I know.  I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but I'll just confess it right now... My name is Kara and I've never thought Princess Diana's dress was all that and a bag of chips.  Nope.  Not my favorite Royal Wedding Dress by any stretch of the imagination.  What is my favorite?  Probably the one that Sarah Ferguson wore when she married Andrew... It had beautiful beading and stitching throughout.  Also on the train it had an &quo
