    Good Morning all!! Today marks the first post in my “Wedding Series” Guest Posts. I need to come up with a clever name for this series. What do you think?

With so many things going on, I am having a hard time finding the time to be able to pay attention to my beloved blog here. So many people were willing o be a part of the guest posts and I am so excited for you all to see and meet new people! Let’s get started shall we?…

    Lemon Zucchini Muffins

    My Blog is turning 3 today!! Can you believe that?! I cannot believe that I have been blogging for 3 years. So many recipes, so many new friends, so many opportunities. I would never have thought 3 years ago that the blog would become such a big part of my life but it has. People that I never would have thought of paying attention to things like a food blog, talk to me about my recipes or about the content that I write about. Just wow! Throughout the 3 years I have been amazed at the interest, support and overall love I have gotten with this blog. I wanted to…

    Happy Friday everyone!! I hope that you all have had a lovely week. Mine has seemed like the longest week on the planet. Not really sure why. Ever have one of those? Nothing about it was any different than normal, just was a long ass week. In other news! We have a winner for my Giveaway!! If you haven’t seen it…I was given the opportunity to try out a new product for Morningstar and I was really pleased with how they turned out. So congratulations to: Ramona @ Curry and Comfort I will be contacting you via email 🙂 Today I sharing with you a recipe that was kind of…

    Lemon Bourbon Cake Doughnuts

    I saw this recipe over at Chasing Delicious and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to make it. Have you ever been over to Chasing Delicious??           It is always SO much fun and Russell is always doing such creative things. I love that name btdubs. If I ever have a boy, that will be a major contention for his name haha Anyways, I knew I had to try this and let me tell you they were a hit! Unfortunately, I couldn’t partake in them because it is still Lent and I am pretty sure that a doughnut counts as a sweet. Right? I froze some so…

    Fresh Blueberry Lemon Pops

    What a crazy couple weeks! Things have been turned a bit upside down for me in the past month, which has made it a little difficult to keep up my blogging routine. I know my friend Jonny has been bugging me about it haha. I posted something last week and he immediately sends me a text, “holy crap, your blog made me soo f*ing hungry”. 😉 gotta love it! I feel like you have to embrace the cards that life deals for you though. Things have definitely not been turning out how I thought they would, but I am slowly learning that I just need follow my heart and I…

    Herb Salmon with Lemoned Green Beans

    It’s Friday!! I am pretty excited for the weekend to be here. This week has been busy, to say the least, and next week isn’t going to be much better. Needless to say I am totally looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Maybe I will even take the bike out for a ride since it is supposed to be so nice. Winning! Whenever it is a nice out I have a really hard time not firing up the grill every day of the weekend. You can make so many different things and it always seems to taste good. The taste of food coming off the grill just reminds me of…

    Lemon-Honey Drop Cookies

    Well, we had a very brief few days of sun and now we are back to the cloudy dreary weather of the Northeast. I am ready for some sunny days people!! The Hot Lunch show was SO much fun! haha…I cannot even tell you how excited I was to watch those boys up on stage. I was even dedicated a song! Woooo! 😀 The lead singer Higgins takes a break and says “This next song is for one of our friends Raven, Raven where are you?” ::throws up arms and screams:: “AHHHH RIGHT HERE!!!” …they then proceeded to play my most favorite song of theirs called Thumbs up. I talked…

    Lemon Glazed Blueberry Muffins

    Good dreary Monday morning to you all! New England has a forecast of about 6 straight days of rain…I mean I know it is Spring and Mother Nature tends to like rain around this time of year, but 6 straight days of rain is just plain brutal. The only good part about it being so wet, cold, and rainy outside is that I get to stay inside any make lots of goodies. I know most people really hate rainy days and while I am not a huge fan; I can at least appreciate the down time to do things inside the house, like cook/bake! These muffins I made this weekend…

    Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

    I woke up this morning to a cold 26 degrees here in New England. I am craving spring. I am ready for the warmer weather to be here and for it to be sunny. Ready to be able to go outside and walk around at lunch time at work. I love the changing of the seasons but I am so ready for the warmer weather. This has been an especially rough winter so I am looking forward to the nice and bright sun! In the spirit of spring I wanted to make a muffin that made me feel like it was here, since clearly it is not yet. Whenever I…

    Guacamole

    I love avocados! When I say “love” I mean L-O-V-E!! I took a trip to Mexico about a year ago with some friends and my boyfriend…I am not joking you when I say I ate guacamole or something with avocado in it at every meal! I adore it…I am one of those people who can just slice an avocado and eat it on bread…YUM! Or should I say NomNoms 😉 Anyways, this weekend my boyfriend’s Mom invited us over to dinner. She was making beef burritos and I hate going to someone’s house without bringing something. So, I told her I would make some guacamole once I got there (and…
