One Fact for Every Year
I am doing things a little differently today folks. You normally come to check out what I am making to eat this week, but I thought I would change it up a bit. Keep you on your toes!! And also, I am heading to Albuquerque this week, so I haven’t had a lot of time to cook. 😉 We are going to see some of Patrick’s friends that live there. Will be a nice break. Definitely needed! So today I thought I would share a 27 facts with you about myself. One fact for every year that have been alive. I love learning about all the bloggers I read…

Chocolate Chip Cookies
Good Thursday Morning to everyone! How is your week going thus far? Mine has been going rather quickly actually. Can’t complain about that! Makes the weekend come faster. Ever heard of Christmas in July? Well I got Christmas in August. I would just like to say that I have the best boyfriend in all of the land (ok, yes I did just say “in all of the land”, but maybe that is because he make me feel like a princess 😉 ). He found this sale on Onieda.com. Holy frekkin’ moly! Talk about getting things for dirt cheap. He is such a good deal finder. Just like me actually haha.…

Cake Batter Blondies
Hello new week! Almost the end of August already can you believe it? I can hardly. Seems like this summer is FLYING by. Every week seems to come and go quicker and quicker. I am looking forward to the Fall though. I love the weather and the leaves and all that. The temperature in the Fall is my favorite. Where you can wear shorts and a sweater. Love it. Today I am going to the dentist again about my teeth and I have to admit I am a little nervous. I hope that everything goes smoothly and that there aren’t anymore hiccups. I have had enough excitement with my teeth…

Spicy Roasted Tomato Soup
Who loves summer? Who loves tomatoes in the summer? ::raises hand:: Tomatoes from the garden have to be one of the most delicious things. I don’t think it gets much better. Today I am stealing someone’s recipe. Well, maybe not stealing, but using and enjoying immensely. Steph over at Steph’s Bite by Bite made this amazing Roasted Tomato Basil Soup, and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to try it. Not only am I a HUGE tomato fan fanatic, but I also have to stick to rather soft food at the moment. I knew this would be a winner. I changed up the recipe just a…

Thursday Tidbits
I wanted to share some good news with you all! Patrick got a new job and his first day is today…:-D He is excited about it and I am excited for him. He was feeling a little trapped in his current job and I am so glad that he was able to find something that he feels like he will be challenged at. So yay for Patrick! I felt so funny this am putting some cookies and blondies (recipes to come) in his lunch bag with a note on the baggie that says “I hope you have a great 1st day!”. Hehe, I am a dork like that. I…

Pot Stickers a la Patrick
Good Wednesday morning to you all! I woke up to some pretty intense thunderstorm this morning, which was amazing. I love waking up to thunderstorms. I have no idea why. I used to hate storms, was absolutely terrified of them. No joke. Like crawl into my Mom & Dad’s bed when I was 7 scared. Now? Love them. I couldn’t dream of a better way to get some shut eye. The pitter patter of the rain outside my window almost makes me feel calm now. But then I had to get up and go to work. Talk about a buzz kill! My teeth seem to be doing a bit better…

Colors for the House
Hello everyone I trust your weekend is going well. It has been a little rainy and gloomy here, which is okay because I have been stuck inside for the past 4 days. My wisdom teeth are official out. Not fun. I have to say that if I could have skipped that part of my life I would haha. The surgery didn’t go quite as well as they had hoped. I tend to have veins that are hard to find, so that was the first hiccup. Then I ended up waking up during surgery…gah! That was not fun, I woke up and saw all of the people around me and started…

August House Update
Ever have one of those weeks where it is only Tuesday and it feels like it should be Thursday already because of all the activities you shoved into your Monday? No? Only me? 😛 Yesterday, I managed to cram in an entire day of work, a playoff softball game at 6:45; which we unfortunately lost, but good year Sam’s. AND also went to dance from 8-1130pm. Needless to say I am feeling a bit sluggish today. My Starbucks is helping out that situation 🙂 Yes, I have a teddy bear at my desk. His name is Louie and he fights off unwanted guests for me. hehe So what else is…

Spicy Malaysian Noodles
Hi everyone! This marks the last day of our beloved Foodbuzz. I am not sure how I feel about not having all your smiling faces pop up on my Foodbuzz inbox everyday. I have done by best to try and follow as many of you as possible in any way that I can. Please feel free to do the same so that we can keep in touch. I most definitely want to keep in touch with as many of you as I can. I don’t always have a ton of time to see your posts as they come up on Twitter or Facebook because I have a full time job,…

Baked Eggs in Toast
Happy Friday All! Do you have anything fun planned for your weekend? Patrick and I are once again going to be working on the house. But that is OK! We are loving the new place and we cannot wait to move in. Going to be amazing. I am sure there will be plenty of pictures to see. We have been running around all over the place these past 2 weekends so we weren’t able to get AS much done as we wanted. However, we did get ALL of the popcorn ceilings taken down on the first floor…woot! So to the second floor this weekend. We are also picking up our…

Corn Crab Cakes
Do you have a go to meal whenever you go out to a certain restaurant? I don’t mean like going to the SAME restaurant, but let’s say you go to a burger joint…is there always one burger you kind of look for? Or an Italian place where you always look for a certain kind of pasta? This is me when I go to a seafood place… “Do they have crab cakes?” This is like my go to thing that I just have to have every time I set foot in a place that makes crab cakes. To tell you the truth, crab cakes were one of my first seafood experiences.…

Dark Chocolate Banana Muffins
Good morning everyone! How are you today? I have to admit I am a little tired this AM. Auditions for the dance company that I dance with were last night. Classes and auditions started at 8pm and we got done around 11pm. 3 hours doesn’t seem like a lot until you are dancing and sweating and getting worn out. I have a couple nice bruises to prove I worked hard! haha Anyways, we had a great turn out. I am very excited to see what this new year of dance brings fro Eclipse. As many of you know, I am a Penn State fan. I went to Penn State. I…
