Pesto Gnocchi
Good rainy morning to you all! I have a big presentation this morning to the big man on campus here at work and all his staff so this is going to be a short and sweet intro. Need to prepare! I am not one of those people that really gets nervous when I present to a crowd, I think that may be because I am a dancer and have spent a lot of time on stage. Either way even though I don’t get nervous I do like to be prepared for the pack of wolves I am about to get up in front of, haha. This recipe that I am…

Chunky Cod Fish Fingers
::sings:: Give me that filet’o’fish, Give me that Fish! What if it were you, hanging up on this wall… If you all are wondering what the heck I am singing there, that would be the old Mcdonald’s filet of fish sandwich jingle that they played last year (or was it 2 years ago??), that used to get stuck in my head for daaaayyysss. If you don’t know what I am talking about, google that sh*t and I promise you the YouTube video will come up if you search “Filet’o’Fish”. I used to drive one of my coworkers crazy because I would sing it to him all the time haha, sorry…

Garlic Fries
I have a love affair with garlic… We go together like peas and carrots, chocolate and peanut butter, lamb and tunafish! <—movie reference, I don’t really like lamb and tunafish together. Just want to make that clear haha. Seriously though, I have a really hard time not cooking with garlic. I am one of those people who can put a whole head of garlic into the oven, roast it, and then spread it on bread….YUMMMMMMIE! Or should I say NomNoms ;-). Or how about garlic and olive oil as a dipping sauce? ::kisses fingers:: MUAH! OR how about a fresh tomato salad with cucumber and garlic…. ::dreams of summer tomatoes::…

Black Bean Quesadillas
What a day! I am so stressed out at work…I am really hoping that because I am so busy today that Friday will come sooner than I think it will! Seems forever away right now. Keeeep positive right?? Haha I have been doing really well on my “no sweets” for Lent goal. So far I haven’t caved at all, which I am really proud of! haha I really love desserts so this has been really hard for me. I think I miss making them more than I actually miss eating them. Is that weird? Anyways, I have been doing the whole no eating meat on Fridays which really doesn’t bother…

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
I woke up this morning to a cold 26 degrees here in New England. I am craving spring. I am ready for the warmer weather to be here and for it to be sunny. Ready to be able to go outside and walk around at lunch time at work. I love the changing of the seasons but I am so ready for the warmer weather. This has been an especially rough winter so I am looking forward to the nice and bright sun! In the spirit of spring I wanted to make a muffin that made me feel like it was here, since clearly it is not yet. Whenever I…

Homemade Tortilla Chips
You know what I love? Chips and salsa. I am one of those people who could munch on chips, salsa, and guacamole all summer long. I went to Mexico a few years ago and let me tell you, I think I ate about 17 lbs of guacamole in a week. Not kidding. I ate it with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Any time I could get away with it I was eating it…it is good for you right?? haha It is tough right now because avocados are really not all that good this time a year in New England. However, I did have salsa that I made in the summer that…

Black & Blue til You are Pink Muffins
It is Monday again…can you believe it?! My weekends always go way too fast. I hate that! haha…it seems like no matter what I do those 2 days always go speeding past me clocking at a 90mph pace. I have heard that it only goes faster as you get older too…sheesh! I don’t know how it could! I think my weekend went fast because I had rehearsal for the show that is coming up. That always seems to make things go faster. I was able to have a little fun though on Saturday night. One of the girls in the dance company turned 30 so we all went out for…

Sesame Noodles with Chicken
It’s Friday!! What a week this has been! I think that being gone to California really put a dent in my workload at work. I just cannot seem to get ahead of the game. Needless to say I am pretty happy about it being Friday not only because it means I don’t have to work tomorrow and I get to sleep in, BUT one my girlfriends at work went on a “HOT DATE” last night and I can’t wait to hear about it!! 😉 Last night I wanted to try and make something a little different (and healthy) for myself. I am always looking to try new recipes but sometimes…

Crustless Spinach & Feta Quiche
I think I may finally be catching up on some sleep. I lived up to my promise and made it to bed by 10pm, which I have to admit I was really happy about. I feel a little more refreshed today and not as sluggish. THAT is a good thing because I have presentation to give at work today…I hate giving presentations when I don’t feel up for it, so I am very glad that my body is starting to feel a bit more normal today. Whew! Also, I have figured out a way to comment on blogs again. Not sure why my WordPress ID isn’t working but I am…

Sugar Spot Banana Cranberry Muffins
OK so…for some reason I cannot comment on ANYONE’S blog haha. I am trying to post things on Foodbuzz on all your posts. Sorry fellow foodies! I feel bad but for some reason I am just not able to comment. Big bummer because there is so many great recipes out there that I totally wanna compliment too! Grr…hopefully the cyber world gets itself figured out! I am seriously struggling with the time change! I thought it would be much easier for me to get used to, but I am having a hard time. Yesterday was really tough because it felt like I was getting up at 3am, when it was…

Oatmeal with Fruit Compote
I am back! First off, when I woke up this morning it felt like it was 3am. That was not fun haha. I found that going out to California I really adjusted well to the time difference, but the coming back to CT? The time change is being quite a pain. I thought that I would be able to adjust just as easily…not so much. 😛 The weather in California was so glorious…I cannot even tell you how great of a break it was to have some actual sunshine that had warmth to it. It was in the high 60s, low 70s the whole time I was in California and…
