I mean…
Well my my, what a year this has been… Between wildfires, Covid and racism… 2020 has been a trip hasn’t it? I don’t know about you, but I am kind of ready for it to be over, but while I am still in it… I thought, why not pick the blog back up? Share some things I am loving right now and maybe some things that I am not. Not sure why I didn’t think about this until now, perhaps it is because no one really knows what the hell was/is happening in the world and are just now making some adjustments as we ease into this new “normal”. What…

Paleo Banana Bread
Meet Teddy! My cuddly little ball of fur that I welcomed into my home on April 18th! This little nugget was born on February 23rd 2015, and at 9 weeks old he is already 12lbs! He is going to be a monster 🙂 It has been quite an adjustment the past few days. Teddy has been giving us a run for our money, but that is ok! I am loving every second. Mornings look like this now… He is constantly underfoot. ESPECIALLY when I am in the kitchen. Which, let’s be honest…is all the time. If I’m not sleeping, at the gym, or eating…I am in the kitchen making something…

Raw Key Lime Tartlets
I can barely contain my excitement for Teddy! Who is Teddy you ask? My puppy! My Bernese Mountain Dog that Patrick and I are picking up on Saturday. All of you who follow me in Instagram and Facebook have watched the obscene display of “puppy nesting” I have been having. Is that even a thing? If not, apparently I am starting it. We have bought so much stuff for this dog and we don’t even have him yet! haha I literally feel like I am a kid waiting for Christmas morning 😀 Patrick and I have wanted a dog for so long, I mean SO long, but it never made…

Chocolate Truffles {Vegan}
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and you just need to have something and someone to share it with right? Meh. I have never been a fan of Valentine’s Day. It just never has been something that I want to celebrate or was truly a big fan of. I was blessed that for most of my life I had someone to spend it with, and now I have a Husband to share them ALL with. It just isn’t something I am into. I think it is fun to celebrate things, but at the same time I think you should always do nice things for those you love. However, I…

Blueberry Banana Muffin Bites {Paleo}
Holy more snow Batman! We are still digging out from snow again! New England was having SUCH a mild winter and then BAM, we got like 40″+ in a week span. What is the deal? Don’t get me wrong, I do love the snow, it is gorgeous and pretty and I truly enjoy looking at it. However, when you get older the playing in the snow goes away and the cleaning it up becomes more of the deal. Oh well. It wouldn’t be so bad if Patrick was around more, but the hubs travels a lot. He is Germany right now so it is tough. BUT, he did get to…

Paleo Cranberry Hand Pies
Hello again! So it is December 5th, which means that Christmas is only 20 days away! Holy sweet baby Jesus I am not even CLOSE to being prepared this year for this holiday! I am normally on top of things. I normally have gifts already wrapped and under the tree by this point, I am doing poor. I haven’t even bought A THING yet. Having a bit of a panic attack. These holidays have crept up on me this year. I feel like whenever Thanksgiving is a bit later in the month of November, Christmas always seems to come SO fast! Feel very unprepared right now. I am sure everything…

Peach Necatrine Butter
Oh, Hey… What’s up? Long time no blog. Can we chat for a second? I just wanted you to know it is nothing personal. I don’t hate you, or dislike you even. In fact, I care for you very much. It just, well… Things get in the way sometimes. Sometimes there’s this thing called life, that acts like a tornado and rips through your life and tosses around all your belongings, even that lamp you love that your soon to be hubby hates. It’s kinda crazy. And little annoying. Scratch that, SUPER annoying. My life has been a jumbled mess of decisions, wedding planning, renovations, work and just life. Napkins,…

Rich Chocolate Brownies (No Bake)
I was thinking the other day… Since I have this blog and I love to cook but I am also planning a wedding, why don’t I try and intermingle the two while this is all going on? Try and use it as an online journal of sorts, get my feelings out but also show you all what I have been up to? Sound like a deal? I know I am offering myself for all of your opinions, but you know what? I get that no matter what. So bring them on! Right now the big thing that Patrick and I are deciding on are invitations. We have so many people…

Turkey Burgers with Cranberry-Apple Relish
Happy Hump Day! I have a confession… With the wedding coming up, still in full force renovating Patrick’s and my home, traveling…I am just distracted. My life has been a bit of a whirl wind lately and because of that I have had to take a step back from things to try and remain sane. Having to not be involved in some of the things that I love to do! Which is really hard for me. Like this little blog here. She has gotten neglected. Not because I don’t love her so, I do! It’s just. My priorities have shifted a bit. Sheesh, why didn’t someone tell me that Weddings…

St. Patty’s Green Mint Smoothie
♣ Happy St. Patty’s Day! ♣ Hope everything is having a lovely St. Patty’s Day so far! Are you doing anything special? Celebrating in any special way? I really haven’t done much celebrating for St. Patty’s Day since I was in college, which is a-ok with me. Patrick and I are off to St. Louis this weekend for a wedding. Which should be great! His birthday is on the 19th so I am glad we are going to be able to go and celebrate with his family and friends. I am sharing a smoothie today. I have been on a smoothie kick lately! I have had so many of them! They…
