Peanut Butter Cookies {Gluten Free}
I am sharing a Peanut Butter Cookie today. Do I have your attention? If you are anything like me, I definitely do. I love Peanut Butter more than I could possibly say. Literally, I think I could eat it out of the jar with a spoon…every.single.day. and be completely happy. When I was younger, my Mom used to babysit as her profession so she always got those huge 5lb drums of Peter Pan peanut butter that you get at Sams, BJs or Costco, because she was always feeding 10 kids peanut butter. Because, let’s be honest…most kids are picky but they love peanut butter. I used to take those huge…

Sweet Potato Chips
Ok, so it has literally been a month since I have posted….whatttt the heck!? I apologize my dear friends, my priorities have changed so much this past year. I adore my little blog here, but with things that are happening in my life, I am finding it hard to to have to time post and share my recipes. Getting married is really a full time job by itself, not to mention the actual job that I have that I work 8 hours at and then try to get some gym time in and also you know…sleep and renovate my home. Sheesh. Who knew? I still love to cook and I…

Avocado Fries with Avocado Dipping Sauce
Ok. I am not sure what else to say about this post, but it is full of green. Not the kind you put in your wallet (more like the kind that is always leaving my wallet). No, not the kind you walk on in the summer. Nah, not St. Patty’s day beer or broccoli. Avocado my friends. Avocado. Can you believe that when I was younger that I actually didn’t even like avocado? ::audience gasps:: Tis true, food bats. Tis True. My love of avocado began in high school when I lived in the Philly area. My Grandad was visiting my family rather regularly because he had a shop associated…

Pan-Seared Scallops with Cauliflower “Mash”
Do you like home renovation projects? Patrick and I are constantly working on our house. There is a sense of satisfaction when you finish and it is something you have worked on and it actually looks nice! Granted my parents have been nice enough to show us the ropes on many, many, MANY home improvement tricks. I have watched my parents flip houses for years and have been a part of many of them. So I suppose it is only natural that I am wanting to do the same thing with my own. I am pretty sure Patrick thinks I am nuts, but he seems to be enjoying the process…

Rich Chocolate Brownies (No Bake)
I was thinking the other day… Since I have this blog and I love to cook but I am also planning a wedding, why don’t I try and intermingle the two while this is all going on? Try and use it as an online journal of sorts, get my feelings out but also show you all what I have been up to? Sound like a deal? I know I am offering myself for all of your opinions, but you know what? I get that no matter what. So bring them on! Right now the big thing that Patrick and I are deciding on are invitations. We have so many people…

Turkey Burgers with Cranberry-Apple Relish
Happy Hump Day! I have a confession… With the wedding coming up, still in full force renovating Patrick’s and my home, traveling…I am just distracted. My life has been a bit of a whirl wind lately and because of that I have had to take a step back from things to try and remain sane. Having to not be involved in some of the things that I love to do! Which is really hard for me. Like this little blog here. She has gotten neglected. Not because I don’t love her so, I do! It’s just. My priorities have shifted a bit. Sheesh, why didn’t someone tell me that Weddings…

St. Patty’s Green Mint Smoothie
♣ Happy St. Patty’s Day! ♣ Hope everything is having a lovely St. Patty’s Day so far! Are you doing anything special? Celebrating in any special way? I really haven’t done much celebrating for St. Patty’s Day since I was in college, which is a-ok with me. Patrick and I are off to St. Louis this weekend for a wedding. Which should be great! His birthday is on the 19th so I am glad we are going to be able to go and celebrate with his family and friends. I am sharing a smoothie today. I have been on a smoothie kick lately! I have had so many of them! They…

Homemade Greek Yogurt Cheese
Wait…did I read that right? Yup, you did. Homemade.Greek.Yogurt.Cheese. That just happened. I love cheese, but most of the time it doesn’t love me back. I have been avoiding cheese on the whole as much as I can. Maybe a few sneaks here and there, but on the whole I have been avoiding it for about 3-4 months now. Believe me, I love it. A big bowl of Mac & Cheese? Amazing. My stomach agrees…for about 15 minutes. 😉 My mom found a recipe to make cheese from Greek Yogurt and of course I was intrigued. I love Greek Yogurt. Love eating it with fruit, cooking with it, using it…

Sesame Carrot Salad
Happy Friday! I cannot tell you how glad I am that it is going to be the weekend. This week has been hellish at work and I am looking forward to getting a break. Maybe even sleep in til 7:30am! How sad is it that 7:30am is sleeping in?? Today I am sharing with you one of my most favorite things to eat… Carrots! If you know me at all, you know that I have a large small affinity to carrots. A few years back, I even shared a story about how much I loved carrots as a kid too. So much so that I turned orange! Yes, actually turned…

Cayenne Peanut Brittle
It’s Monday again. How did this happen? Wasn’t it just Friday… Our weekends fly by way too fast and I know everyone ALWAYS says this. But, man, it’s true! There is never enough time in the weekend to get done what you want to get done or not get done 😉 Nothing terribly exciting is happening in my life at the moment. Lot’s of little things to keep me busy. Are you doing anything special on Valentine’s Day with your sweetie? I am normally not one to do the whole “Valentine’s Day” thing, but Patrick has gone all out this year for me. Which was unexpected and kind of great…

Almond Date Cranberry Snacks
Good Monday Morning Friends! How was everyone’s weekend? Mine was full of working on the house as usual. Went out with some friends on Friday night which was so fun. It is always good to get together for dinner, talk about nothing and everything and drink wine. It is a good way to end the week. Patrick and I also talked to a travel agent about our honeymoon! We were so torn between so many different places. We have a budget in place and it was just so overwhelming we thought, well…I thought it would be nice to meet with someone who plans travel for a living. Patrick was set…
