Pumpkin Honey Beer Bread
Happy Halloween!!! What are you being for Halloween? I have a party that I am going to on Saturday, and I will make sure to post some pictures on Instagram for you all to see. 🙂 Lots of things have been happening this month. October is my favorite month, always has been. But this October 2013 has run me ragged! I was so lucky to have one of my maids of honor come this past weekend to spend some time with me and visit the wedding venue to discuss what our next moves needed to be. I even tried on some wedding dresses! AHHH! Went for something completely on the…

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…

Chocolate Caramel Brownies
What a weekend! Eclipse Dance Company was all over the place! Our big event, among others this weekend, was the International Festival of Arts and Ideas. We had a 30 minute piece that we put on for the festival and it went really well. 30 minutes of dancing straight through, btdubs. No stopping. Thirty.Minutes.Straight.Through. Whew! It was a warm day as well and the performance was on an outside stage, so it was interesting to say the least. With all of the extra rehearsals we have been pulling this month, 2 sometimes 3 times a week from 9pm-midnight. It has been a very tense and stressful month, but we made…

Caramelized Onion, Arugula, Bacon & Egg Sandwich
OK…is it just me or is it rather surprising that it is already March?? I have to admit, I am a little freaked out. Well, maybe “freaked” out isn’t the right word. Just seems as though February didn’t even happen haha. Oh hey February, oh bye February. I have a feeling that March is going to fly by as well. However this is Patrick’s Birthday month! How fitting for this recipe today as well. Patrick has the ability to make very simple things very entertaining for himself. For example the word Arugula… I don’t think Patrick has ever said Arugula without saying it as “AHHHH- REWWW-GAHH-LA”. ::blank stare:: Believe me…

Banana Bread
Happy hump day How’s the week going? My week has been rather busy. Lots of things going on. The guy who came in to do our second floor refinishing is here this week. Patrick and I are having him match the floor that we bought to replace the first floor wood. So far it looks really nice. Pictures to come. I think he should be done taking all our money by this weekend. We are going with dark color and I couldn’t be happier about it. Something about dark floors with really nice colonial white molding is so elegant and pleasing to my eye. In the end, I know it…

Poppy Seed Roll (Makowiec)
Happy Holidays my dears!! Can you believe that Christmas is only 5 days away?! I am so unprepared this year. I am normally SO good about making lists and being overly prepared, but my needed break from things has made me a tad late with planning. Plus this year just seems odd to me. Doesn’t it to you? I just don’t feel like it should be Christmas yet. Perhaps it was because of the placement of Thanksgiving this year. Or perhaps I have just lost my marbles. I am proud to say that I am participating in Abeer’s Christmas Extravaganza this year! If you have never been over to Abeer’s…

Maple Glazed Cinnamon Rolls
Are there certain things that your family only have around the holidays? Ever since I can remember, there would be piping hot cinnamon rolls waking me up on Christmas Morning. That smell of a fresh pastry right out of the oven sure does know how to get me out of bed. It is a tradition that my family has had ever since I can remember. Even now that I am in my late twenties, there is just nothing like that smell when you wake up on Christmas morning at your folks house, or when you walk in the door from your own home and you smell those amazing rolls. Yummm….my…

Pecan Streusel Bread
Some of the best days of Fall are spent curled up under a blanket or baking something to warm your family’s tummy on a brisk day. If I had to pick one or the other…I am not sure I could. I do enjoy both very much these days. I find as I get older the “under the blanket” option is much more appealing. 😉 This bread I am sharing with you today is something my mom and I picked out as a good treat. It was featured in the Cooking Light magazine this past month, which was a special addition issue. Had all of their favorite recipes over the past…

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…

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…
