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…

Quiche Bites
Hello Hello! Happy Thursday! This week has FLOWN by, actually…this entire month has flown by. I have been absent a lot of the month due to all the events that have been happening. This past weekend Patrick and I went to NYC to get our engagement pictures taken by my friend Kate Neal. Follow her on Facebook or Instagram. She is amazing! We had such a nice time, she and John (her hubby) made us feel SO at ease. She showed us a few of the shots while we were taking them, but she did send us one that I wanted to share with you all. How cute is that?!…

Well hello! Good Wednesday morning to you all, hope your hump day is treating you well so far.

At the beginning of the month we have a friend that is…

Well hello strangers!! I have been SO busy this month, my poor blog has gotten ignored. I have been keeping up with all of you though. So many delicious recipes this month from everything, bravo! The month of August has been TONS of traveling for me. Both work and pleasure. At the beginning of the month Patrick and I went to San Diego to attend his cousins wedding, which was so much fun. We were able to hang out in the San Diego and then La Jolla. It was a much needed break from working and we got to do so many fun things. We went to the San Diego…

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…

Baked Tomatoes with Corn and Goat Cheese
Happy Monday! How is your Monday going? Did you have a nice weekend? My weekend was full of master bathroom remodeling and purchasing… ::blank look:: Which basically means, I am poor. Haha, bathroom remodels are expensive! Holy shmokes. We are limited in our space for the master bath. It isn’t a very large bathroom so we are trying to maximize our space. We currently have a whirlpool in our bathroom and it literally takes up half the room…eeeekk! So we are going to adjust that and remove the whirlpool and put something that in that is going to save a butt-load of space in that tiny area (about 10″). I…

This week has been unusually busy for me at work, not to mention my parents and Patrick have been traveling so I am left with all the chores at 2 houses…. ::blank look:: I am worn out haha. Tonight is going to be me, sitting on my ass in front of the television doing nothing. Granted I will probably cook something prior to that. Shocking. I know. Not really sure what I am going to make or what I am going to watch, but it is going to happen. Gizzy (Mr. BunBun) are gonna have a nice and relaxing night.…

Cocoa-Caramel Bourbon Truffles
I have had an obsession with learning about Marilyn Monroe lately. For no particular reason, really. Some of you may have noticed towards the bottom of my page, I have Marilyn displayed. That’s because I find her quotes inspirational when I am down. However, in learning about her, I am intrigued by this woman… She was not the bimbo that the media made/makes her out to be. Marilyn was actually a very shy, intelligent, troubled and beautiful woman. I suppose I am so fascinated by her, because I see a lot of myself in her. As I honestly think most women could if they really looked. She loved and was…

Big Apple Barbecue Block Party in NYC
Are you ready for this post my fellow foodies? I was invited to attend the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party presented by Southern Living, Cooking Light, MyRecipes and RealSimple. It took place in NYC on June 8th & 9th in Madison Square Park. It was the 11th annual block party and it was so much fun! There were cooking classes, live performances, vendor tents with tools and foods, live demonstrations of cooking and cocktail ideas, and best of all BBQ all day long! I honestly had never heard of this event before, but I am so glad I have now. It is only about 2 hours from where I live…

Ancho Chile Surf & Turf
Well hello! How are you all on this Wednesday morning? I am tiiirrreeedddd. Bikram kicked my butt and then I got up before 5am to do my morning work out, so I am draggin’ today. There was some serious storm moving through last night though, some tree branches and things were down on the raods this morning on the commute into work. My prayers are with the family and friends of those in the Midwest that had the storms come through and caused significant damage. Those big storms are so unexpected most of the time and cause so much damage, it is really scary. Stay safe everyone! In other brighter…
