Foodie Pen Pals – May Edition
Another month has come and gone my friends! Man things move fast don’t they? It is unreal to me how fast times moves as I get older. Craziness! Soooo, guess what?! I am at Disney right now! YEUP! It finally came and I am enjoying every second of it. Clearly I will have lots of pictures to share with you when I get back (I am posting this from my phone). Anyways, let’s get right down to it shall we? This is May and it is time for Foodie Pen Pal fun! If you haven’t joined the Foodie Penpals action yet, I hope you’ll sign up for June – it…

Friday & Florida Bound!
It’s here!! Tomorrow I leave for Disney and I cannot tell you about how excited I am!! This vacation is so very much so needed. PLUS, I have never been to Disney before so I am just so beside myself with excitement I can barely contain myself. I am totally going to be like a little kid when I get there. No joke. I have been looking through some of the pictures that Patrick took at rehearsal last weekend for the show and saw this one… All throughout the show there were pictures of all the girls and their loved ones, pets, family members that have passed, those kinds of…

Dark Chocolate Oat Clusters
Hey Everybody! Thanks so much for all your support with my choppin’ off my locks for Pantene Beautiful Lengths. I am just now getting used to the new do. I love how little time it takes me to actually get it ready. I mean going from 15 minutes to 5 minutes to do your hair is phenomenal! The show for Eclipse was this weekend! Everything went pretty well. I think the girls and I danced our hearts out and that is what really matters 🙂 We had some technical difficulties with the individuals who ran the theater, but I think that I our dancing made up for their screw ups.…

Quinoa Flakes
I have been totally neglecting my blog here. It is terrible and I owe an apology to RavieNomNoms. My sincerest of apologies, dear friend! My life has been hectic to say the least in the past month and I just doesn’t seem to be letting up AT ALL. Work has been…well to put it lightly. AWFUL! SAP is literally making me want to change my career path at the moment. I am so stressed at work all the time which just makes for some really really long days. I am sure the company will get through it, but right now…it is just frustrating. The new house, which I fall in…

Pancakes for Dinner
Thanks everyone! You all have been so sweet and supportive of Patrick and I with our new house. We are so very excited about it all and thank you all for being excited with us! Every time I look at it I get so excited now! I have to admit that when we first found out that they accepted our offer it was kind of a mix of emotions. I mean…when you buy your first house, it almost like you are saying goodbye to your childhood. I have been with my parents now for a long time and I will be going out on my own now, well with Patrick…

Pinwheel Cookies
OK so I have been totally MIA lately. BUT there is a good reason for it. Well kinda…haha The place I work has been going through a new system called SAP. OH.MY.GOSH. I had no idea how much this would absolutely stop work in its tracks but has it ever. I mean I literally spend all day spinning my tires on one simple thing. It is amazing to me! The problem is the place I work we are soooo very centered on doing A LOT of transactions in a month and we can’t do that much volume anymore with this new system. Really making things stressful and hard to complete…

Bunny Booty
Do you ever have those weeks where you wake up on Monday morning and wish it were Friday already??? I am having one of those days today. I’m just not feeling this being grown up and going to work thing. I am so over it. In an effort to try and keep myself at least a tad bit interested in this week, which I have to admit I am failing at miserably haha, I present to you Bunny Booty. No, not THAT kind of Bunny Booty… The sweet kind with popcorn and candy 🙂 This is a recipe that I saw and that was SO cute that I just had…

Carrot Bread
Do you have a show that you love to watch on TV? I am rarely home to watch TV let alone get obsessed with one. Back when LOST was still on, I was an absolute maniac about that show. I started watching it in college and my love affair with that show continued for its entire duration. After LOST went off the air, I really didn’t have anything that I raced home to watch or that I was really upset that I missed. I have friends that are fans of The Bachelor and other reality TV shows like that. I have really never gotten into them. To tell you the…

Pineapple Smoothie
Welp, we are back to more “normal” weather for this time of year. Back down to the low 50s instead of the low 80s. It was SO nice having a taste of the warm weather though. I mean the fact that we have had little to no snow this season? Kinda makes me want to cry, but I would much rather it be nice outside than have it be cold with no snow. I know sounds weird right? But… What is the fun of it being super cold out if there is no snow to play in? I would much rather there be pretty snow to look at or play…

Irish Soda Bread
♣St. Patrick’s Day♣ It’s coming up! Do you all have something planned? I have a weekend planned out, but it is a surprise!! Patrick’s birthday is the 19th of March, so this weekend I have something super exciting for him all planned out, but I can’t tell you all because then he would know! hehe The plan is to blindfold him for our trip, so he doesn’t guess where we are going as I drive, and then have a fabulous weekend with all the events and food I have planned. Sounds like fun huh? I don’t think he has a clue as to what I have planned out, which makes…

Sur La Table Cooking Class
As promised, here is the post about the class that I took at Sur La Table. It was called Date Night: Cozy French Dinner, and here is what was on the menu: Thyme and Gruyere Gougeres Frisee and Apple Salad with Dijon-Honey Vinaigrette Coq a Vin with Wild Mushrooms Chocolate Pots de Crème with Walnut Praline This meal was designed to be a rustic hearty meal. It definitely was! From the moist and crisp gougeres to the tart salad and the savory coq a vin…it was an all around stellar meal. I will definitely be making some of these recipes again. Although I would change some of them around just…
