    2016 and Life

    My life has been, let’s just say…busy since the beginning of the year. I turned 31 this year. Lots of new starts, new adventures, new challenges and many changes. I have been neglecting the blog a lot this year, ever since I got married really and it has made me sad.  My blog has always been a large part of me, and who I am. Something that I identify with. I have made a pact to myself to get back into it and pay more attention to my blog, even if that means I am just sharing pictures now and again. Which is mainly what this blog is going to…

    Finding Center

    Hello my friends. Happy Holidays! It has been a while hasn’t it? I have to admit that things have been a little hectic and I really haven’t had much time to blog or even cook really. I have been using the time to try and get myself centered. Sometimes you need to take a break and just step back for a bit you know? Take time to just be with the people you love and focus on yourself. I am guilty of trying to do too much and not give myself enough rest. Taking a break from blogging has been my way of taking a few things off my plate…

    Prayers for Gizzy

    *UPDATE ON GIZZY* (2/10) First of all, I just wanted to tell you all thank you so much for your kind words and prayers. I am so overwhelmed with all of your support. I am hoping that all of those positive vibes will help Gizzy’s outcome. I wanted to give you all a brief update to let you know how he is doing, since so many of you have asked me to keep you in the loop. Thank you so much for that, I appreciate all of your empathy. I went to visit the little man yesterday in the vet, which was so upsetting. Poor little thing was hooked up…

    Christmas

    Can you believe it? Another Christmas has come and gone…I can hardly believe it. It is like when you spend all day making Thanksgiving dinner and then everyone sits down and dinner is over in like half an hour. My Christmas was full of fun, friends, family, and food! How did I manage to find four words that started with F…ahh Four…ok I’m done haha. You know what the best part of my Christmas was?? IT SNOWED!!!! You should have seen me, and anyone who is my Facebook friend did, I was like a 4 year old when that snow started to fall as hard as it did! Seriously, you…

    Birthday Brownies!

    Today is my boyfriend’s birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TINO! The lucky duck took the day off from work today and is currently sleeping in as I type this post. I, however, am stuck at work until 11:30. Which isn’t too bad I guess haha 😉 Anyways, he requested for his birthday that I make him brownies. Considering I just made cupcakes for his friend’s wife’s birthday I think he was all set with on the cake front because he did a lot of the taste testing, hehe. So, since it is his birthday I thought I would humor him. There is nothing too exciting about these brownies…he picked out some brownies…

    Family, Friends, & Fabulous Food

    I love cooking for people. I don’t think there is anything better than when you have people you love around you enjoying a great meal. My parents hosted a get together for some close family friends who came to visit from PA. Our visitors used to be our neighbors when we lived in PA. When I was a teenager, I babysat their children (2 boys) for spending money in high school (and middle school too I believe). Let me tell you, there is nothing in the world that will make you feel older than seeing someone you used to change diapers for be, I don’t know, give or take, a…
