Meeting the Designer

Today I ventured out to my new local Dillards department store. It was quite the experience.

What drew me there initially was the opportunity to meet Korto Momolu, one of my favorite designers ever on Project Runway.
She was at Dillards to debut her new line of purses and necklaces. I really liked her necklaces! Korto was really nice and I told her she was one of my all time favs and asked when her clothes were going to be in the stores. She whispered that she just showed her line at fashion week last month and is really hoping that Dillards will pick it up too. Yea!


What drew my attention in the Dillards more than anything was that they had the most amazing jazz band! It was just like being in New Orleans baby! I called Lisa and left her a message (with the bad playing loudly in the background) saying ~Hey Lisa- It's Kara and Jennifer. We tried to call you this morning because we found a great deal on Southwest and just decided to fly down to New Orleans for the day. We are having a blast but are sad you aren't with us!~


We thought we were really funny.

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...
