Pumpkin time!

Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.
-George Eliot

The Sunny Sisters LOVE autumn and all that it entails. From Sooner football to cooler weather to festive holidays. We take joy in all things fall.

We are making Halloween costumes and crocheting up some fun goodies! A Curious George hat is in the works, can't wait to show it off! Here's a peek at one of our pumpkin pixie bonnets that we just love love love! I only we had a newborn to put it on!

What are your current fall-y projects? Do you make your little one's Halloween costumes?

Have a Sunny day!
Rachel & Valoree

Gluten Free Baked Egg Breakfast

Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day!

The Sunny Sisters have decided to lay off of gluten for various and sundry reasons. We keep hearing that low carb can make you feel better, so we decided to take a ride on the gluten free train and see what happens.

Today the Sunny Sisters Lunch Club met at Valoree's house for breakfast. We made a baked egg dish in ramekins, inspired from different recipes off of Pinterest. We made these for breakfast, but really they'd be great for any meal.

We don't have an exact recipe, but this dish lends itself to lots of interesting combinations, so use your imaginations (and your leftovers) and get creative!

Here's a rough outline of what we used:

Butter a ramekin, put in your desired amount of eggs (we did 2 each), then add your toppings (we did bacon, Parmesan, shredded cheddar, salt, pepper and dried parsley). Cook in a preheated oven for around 15 minutes (Rachel says a little longer because she likes her egg white cooked well). Note: the yolks will be runny too, yum!!

Have a Sunny day!

Upcoming blogs

Ok, bear with us. We are not the most organized of folk, haha. Be on the lookout for some fun birthday party related posts. Between us we have four summer birthday parties to plan for the littles that have to be awesome and unforgettable.
Be on the lookout for posts on a fire truck party for a 4 year old, a water park/Halo mash-up for 10 & 12 year old brothers and a Tangled party for a 2 year old. Busy busy times for the Sunny Sisters!

Greetings from the Sunny Sisters Lunch Club

Hey friends!  We want to use our first post to introduce ourselves and tell you a little bit about us.  The Sunny Sisters Lunch Club was born of the Sunny Sisters Boutique, our on and off craft business and Etsy shop.  By we, we mean, real life sisters Rachel and Valoree.  The Boutique was started in 2006 with several craft shows.  We have artistic ADD so our products range from crochet to painting to jewelry to sewing and beyond.  We also are planning to work on a children's book this summer, so be on the lookout for posts about that too!  As for food, we admit it, we are Southern and we love our food.  We are trying to be healthier in our eating, but it's a constant battle of cupcakes vs fruit.  Now, we will tell you a little bit about each of us.  


The Sunny Sisters Lunch Club: Valoree & Rachel


RACHEL is a stay at home mom to three kiddos (2 boys and a girl), a painter, a small business owner and a girl from the suburbs trying to figure out her 5 acre farm.  She has lots of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, fish, a gerbil and a partridge in a pear tree.  She is very active with her kids schools as well as helping her husband with his construction business.  Rachel is easily bribed with a nice glass of Southern sweet tea, some Italian food and chocolate cake.


VALOREE is the younger Sunny Sister and spends her time chasing two rambunctious babes under 4 (a boy and a girl).  She is an avid reader, but is especially partial to romances.  She loves to crochet, paint, and just craft in general.  Her current obsession is trying new, healthier recipes off of Pinterest.  If you want to make fast friends with Valoree, offer her a nice frosty Coke (I know, I know I need to quit!) and some good ol' comfort food or something Italian and a cupcake.


We really enjoyed introducing ourselves to you and hope to make many friends!  

Have a Sunny Day!  Rachel & Valoree
