Lemon Scented Blueberry Muffincake
Happy Friday everyone!! I hope that you all have had a lovely week. Mine has seemed like the longest week on the planet. Not really sure why. Ever have one of those? Nothing about it was any different than normal, just was a long ass week. In other news! We have a winner for my Giveaway!! If you haven’t seen it…I was given the opportunity to try out a new product for Morningstar and I was really pleased with how they turned out. So congratulations to: Ramona @ Curry and Comfort I will be contacting you via email 🙂 Today I sharing with you a recipe that was kind of…

Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli
Well hello! I am back from Portugal! I have been MIA this past week, which I do apologize for. Portugal was very much different than I thought it would be. It was a bit rainy and a tad bit chilly for my taste, but we did go at a bad time of year. Can’t really complain too much since the trip was pretty inexpensive since Patrick had to work over there. Since Patrick was working, during the days I spent most of my time wandering around the streets of Setubal, drinking tons of “café”, which is not coffee it is espresso. Honestly, it was my favorite part of the trip.…

Provençale Chicken
Hello everyone, how is life treating ya? I have to say I am pretty stressed. We had a rather unfortunate occurrence at our house this past weekend which really put a damper on the week. We came home to some lovely water damage in our powder room, yea the one I showed you guys before that was completely done. The ceiling is not salvageable. Which means taking down the ceiling, replacing the drywall, redoing the plastering, priming and painting and potentially having to redo the crown molding and caulking that is already been done. How did that happen you ask? Well, remember how I told you about how we were…

Black Bean Soup with Poblano Corn Pudding
So I had to give my ring up…. 🙁 Before you get too upset, it is because I needed it re-sized, but I still didn’t want to give it up haha It is amazing how quickly I got used to that pretty thing being on my ring finger 🙂 I have also determined that where I work is not conducive to my super sparkly ring. These florescent lights do nothing for me. Do you think that is a viable reason to quit? haha Because I kind of do 😉 It has officially been a week since Patrick and I got engaged. Can you tell that I am still excited? Haha…

Pad Thai
Happy Friday!! Ok first off….really snow?? There is 2″ of snow where I work and guess how much I got at our house? ummmm about 13″ and the same at my parents place. They are out of town for 2 weeks, so Patrick and I have 2 driveways to clean that have 13″ of snow on them and there is less than 2″ on the ground 20 miles away…really mother nature? Really. Second off… I have a question for all of you out there that are married/engaged… Did people ask you when the wedding was like less than 12 hours after you got engaged? Patrick and I have now been…

Polka Dot Fudgy Brownies
So apparently I never posted this recipe! No idea why, but I think it is worthy of getting posted that is for sure. I have to say that brownies are probably one of my favorite goodies. Something about those ooey gooey chocolate squares just make my heart melt. Which can be a problem… Like most women, I want to have those ooey gooey brownies, but I don’t want to go up a pant size. Not to mention it is Lent right now and I am still on my no sweets diet…for at least another couple weeks haha All of you know my quest to be healthy, and you all know…

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…
