Bike Picnic Baskets


As if the Free People bike inspiration wasn't enough. How rad is this?? Now your bike can carry your lunch/dinner too. Complete with your food, cups, dishes, and eating utensils.

This wonderful idea is brought to you by creative Dutch designer Jeriël Bobbe. He created the pannier that will double as a compact picnic table, with two cushioned seats (see image below).

The one above, fits a wooden bar, dual speakers and a fold-out tray table, all tucked away neatly into the diamond frame of a bicycle. Now that's what I call picnicking in style! Is it too late to go ahead and add this amazing contraption to my Christmas list??

Tasty Tortilla Soup!



Just a quick recipe on how to make tortilla soup! I love this recipe because it involves hardly any cooking! Just chop up the veggies, add the broth, and viola! Instant soup.

Ingredients:

1 can of corn
2 Jalapeño Peppers
Red Chili Powder
1 can of Blackbeans
3 cans of Rotel (hot and mild)
Vegetable Broth
1 bussel of Cilantro
1 White Onion
3 Limes
4 Serrano Peppers
1 clove of Garlic

Directions:

Put the vegetable broth in a pot and turn on the heat to simmer.
Chop up all the vegetables.
Put the onions and peppers into the pot first.
Once they're tender start adding the other stuff.
Make sure you drain the corn and the beans before you add it to the pot, but keep the juice from the canned Rotel for flavor!
Add the chopped up cilantro and garlic.
Stir all the vegetables and raise the heat to boiling point.
Let the pot cook for 7 minutes or so, or until the onions are cooked to desired level of crunchiness
Add four or five sprinkles of red chili powder, and squeeze in the lime juice.
Stir.
Let cook for one minute and then your food is ready!
Feel free to garnish with extra cilantro or cheese.

Enjoy!

5 Minute DIY: Making Flowers Out of Paper Towel Rolls

Just a quick post on how to make these flowers. They're all over the wall in our apartment and a friend of mine asked me to do a quick tutorial over how to make them. It'll take you five minutes.
You'll need: paper towel rolls, scissors, a stapler & some push pins.
Cut the roll into sections. I made mine kind of skinny, but you can make yours bigger if you like. 
When you've finished cutting the roll it will look something like this.
Lay out the rolls so you can kind of see the flower pattern.
I think it looks best when you use five or six pieces.
Grab your two pieces and hold them.
Staple the two pieces together. 
Try and get the staple close to the end of the roll.
Repeat the process until it looks something like this.
Then staple the last two pieces together.
Your flower is now ready to hang!divider
