Campillo Family Trip

This past weekend, Zach's parents and sisters came to visit!  We had so much fun and ate so much great WI food!!!  We visited Bay Beach and went back to the old stomping ground of SNC!  Take a look at our fun weekend below!!

Fun at Bay Beach - the carousel, the tilt-a-whirl, the Ferris Wheel, some cotton candy and the swings!

Happy 4th of July!!

This week we are celebrating the 4th with our friends in Chicago!  We are so excited to be with them!

We hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July!

Blast from the past 4th of July picture from when Zachary and I first started dating!

Strawberry Fest 2013!

Strawberry Fest has come and gone, and I am already thinking about next year's fest!!!  I miss it already!

This year - it wasn't just the Kaminski girls that came - the guys came too (except for my dad)!!!  We started off the day at Morton's in Cedarburg for some lunch and an amazing Bloody Mary!  There was an old school blue grass band that played even with a washboard!  After that we did some shopping, wine tasting, more eating, and some beer tasting too!

If you want to see what we did last here, view this blog post here!

Way to go to Zach and Ted for being troopers through their first Strawberry Fests!  See the fun pictures below!

Side note: One item I purchased at the Strawberry Fest I absolutely love and CANNOT wait until I can use it come Thanksgiving!  Norah Fleming platters are so pretty and unique I absolutely love them!  And now I cannot wait to collect the minis you can add tot he platters!  I purchased the turkey one here because I thought it would be great for my favorite time of the year - FALL :) I think these are great gift ideas and are just wonderful for parties!!!

Yeah for Strawberries!

Flower update!

So some of the flowers that we planted have started to bloom and look beautiful!

We planted some dahlias and geraniums and there was some roses and clematis blooming already in the yard!  Take a look at these beautiful pics!!

Dahlia, geranium, clematis, and pink roses!

There is also a red rose bush in the front of the house that is blooming and I was able to this past weekend, cut some of the roses and put them in a vase!  Take a look...

I love this rose on the left!

Yeah for flowers!

Life Lately...

Life lately has been so busy!!   Is it just me or has this summer flown by, and it is already July!!??? Where has the time gone!!!

We have been busy with family and friends and summer activities that will all be posted about soon!

One activity that we have loved to do is the farmer's markets!  Last year I wrote about the Farmer's Markets in Chicago here.  They are just great - but...the farmer's markets here are unreal!!!  We have found some really great things!  No more eggs at the store, we now get farm fresh eggs!  We also have gotten some morel mushrooms (hard to find and a delicacy!), bok choy, kale, and other items including rib-eyes!

The markets are on Wednesdays and Saturdays.  Wednesday's market is really really really big!!!  It's off of Broadway in downtown Green Bay.  I haven't been able to explore that one as much yet - but the Saturday one we have!  The Saturday market is located off of Monroe St. in Downtown Green Bay.  It's a little smaller but still awesome - and by smaller I mean not on an entire street!

Take a look at the fabulous finds we have gotten!

ALL DELICIOUS!!!

Morel mushrooms were something that Zachary introduced me to.  They taste like pure butter and are extremely hard to find!  If you see them at a market - you should get them!  You won't find them at most places!  Click here for some information on how to clean/cut/cook the morel mushrooms. 

I love the farmer's markets!  If you have one near you - utilize it!  I promise you will enjoy!

Yeah for markets!

Grilled Chicken Caprese Pasta

Happy Friday!

Want to know a great weeknight meal - oh man - this is!  I found it on pinterest!  I am kind of obsessed with caprese meals - I love the combination of mozz, basil, and tomatoes - and during the summer I cannot get enough of it!

Zach said this was the best so far!  I broiled it right at the end to get that crisp cheese on top!  Always a trick to help to get that golden look if anyone is every wondering!

Click HERE for the recipe.

Yeah for new meals!

Garden update...

So you all so the garden right when we planted it (Here) - but now take a look...what are your thoughts???

Tomatoes, peppers, lettuce (which we have had several salads from already), parsley, sage, basil, basil, and more basil, lavender, thyme, rosemary, onion, garlic, zucchini, brussels sprouts and egg plant - oh yes...they are all in there... I promise!  Can you tell what is what??? Wait till they larger plants start sprouting their veggies!

Yeah for gardening!
