Summer Decor

Pin It

School is out and summer is here! This is one of my favorite times of the year! I love having my boys home with me all day.

I added a few accent pieces to my everyday decor to summerize our home. I love how everything came together. 

I moved my gameboard to the living area and just love the pop of color it brings along our neutral stone wall. I made the gameboard all by hand, no stencils. It took a lot of patients, time and love making it. But it was well worth it. :)

I love my Americana bowl. It's big and heavy!

I just love filling my home with old treasures. The molding is from one of my favorite local stores, Simply Bungalow. I got a box of blue mason jars for $5. So I have them scattered throughout the house.

More old and handmade treasures.

The first and only time I saw the ocean was about 10 years ago at Monterey Bay, CA. What a beautiful place! I picked up this small lighthouse. It brings back memories and I hope to see the ocean again soon. I remind my hubby almost daily that I want to go on a beachy vacation... :)

More blue jars...my mom made the old beadboard box with dried lavendar.

I love a great bargain! I got the black basket for $1 and old picnic basket for $1 at past garage sales. And the watermelon I made from a piece of a tree trunk I got from the neighbor.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate all your comments and emails!

And don't forget to like At Home With K on facebook! I love to add little extras over there and interact with my peeps!

Gluten & Dairy Free Cheesecake

Pin It

I have been craving cheesecake for quite sometime lately...it's been over a year since I had a piece of cheesecake since our family went Gluten and Casein Free. Cheesecake is my absolute favorite dessert!

So last week, I broke down and made a gluten and dairy free version. Not knowing how this would taste, it exceeded my expectations! Yum! Yum!

The secret ingredient is tofu. I know...don't diss it til you try it. I have never tried tofu before until now. My recommendation is to get Organic tofu. It is made from soy and always get organic when eating soy. Soy is full of pesticides. I got my organic tofu from Trader Joe's for $1.99 (16 oz). So it is very affordable. Also Tofu is a great source of protein!

The ingredients you will need for the filling is:

1 (16-ounce) package silken tofu, drained
1 cup sugar
2 (8-ounce) packages dairy-free cream cheese (I love Tofutti!)
1 egg

2 teaspoons vanilla
  

I only had 1 package of cream cheese so I cut my recipe in half.

You mix it all together with a mixer or food processor.

For the crust, I cheated. :) I used store bought Gluten and Dairy free Snickerdoodles. I could of easily made some but I was hungry and wanted cheesecake NOW! :) These are a soft cookie so I mushed them to the bottom of a greased pie pan to form the crust.

Then I poured in the cheesecake batter.

Bake in preheated 325 degree oven for 45 minutes.

Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.

Remove from oven and cool completely before refrigerating.

I completely skipped the refrigerating part and dove right in. I didn't even allow time for a picture, but I did manage to take one of it half eaten. :)

Finish cheesecake with toppings of your choice.

I used some fresh strawberries since they were in season.

For a sweet berry topping, I mixed together some strawberries, a little sugar and a dash of vinegar. Then bring to boil in a saucepan. Very easy and yummy!

I definitely give this recipe 2 thumbs up! A simple, yummy and great alternative if you have gluten and/or dairy sensitivities. Or if you just want to try something different to your everyday diet! You will be pleasantly surprised!

Easy Cedar Box Makeover

Pin It

I have an easy makeover to share that I did recently. 

I didn't take a before picture...I know shame on me. But here is the inside. It was just a basic cedar box that my hubby picked up from a garage sale. It's a great little storage box.

But I wanted to pretty it up a bit. I had picked out some scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby. I cut out the paper to cover all the sides of the box. I glued on the paper with Mod Podge. I painted the exposed edges with white craft paint.

I then took my electric sander and sanded the edges of the paper and paint to give a worn look. I then lightly applied some furniture scratch cover up all over the paper and paint to make it look just a little more worn.

I love how it turned out. It's a great piece to hide a few odds and ends in my office space.

Have a great Memorial Weekend!
