real simple = real love

Real Simple magazine is my bread and butter.  The home decor, organizing tips, recipes, etc. speak volumes to the Modern Martha in me.  The latest issue graced my mailbox today and I was reminded to share my love of it with you!

This month’s cover:

Don’t have the magazine subscription? You can check out the goods online too at realsimple.com.

Something I truly adore about Real Simple is the “New Uses for Old Things” topic.  Check out this adorable idea for using a doily for cake decoration that I saw online:

Ladies, if you have a little girl, PLEASE do this little diddy with a tutu & nightstand.  So adorable!

Real Simple even has some tutorials like this one on how to paint a wall and other DIY type help. Great tips for homeowners!

Need to see what the magazine is all about before you subscribe (am I not convincing you enough?) then check out a rundown of the magazine content here.

There are TONS more, so I encourage you to check it out. Otherwise this post will be miles long.

Love, my Real Simple Magazine obsessed self 🙂

BBB

Baked brie on a budget.

I’m taking a break from my delicious feast to post this.

Short and sweet, I am telling you, MAKE THIS tomorrow. So easy and oh so good.

BBB:

• Brie cheese (get the imported kind, this one splurge, you’ll thank me)
• Chopped apples & pears
• Maple syrup
• Cinnamon
• Lemon juice
• Red wine vinegar

Set the cheese aside in a baking dish and cook the fruit in a saucepan with the rest of the ingredients until the pieces are tender. Pour the mixture over the cheese and bake at 250 degrees for about 15 min. (or until melted).

Done-zo!

Serve with crackers and more fruit if desired… and wine of course.
