Cheesecake Filled Strawberries
This is about how I feel today… It has been one of those weeks where I am struggling to get my normal tasks done. More so today than normal. Do you have those days? Sometimes all I want to do is curl up with one of these: I love fall time. I cannot wait for leaves and cool mornings and warm days. It is my favorite. Also, in October we will have exactly one year until the wedding. Oh man…I am totally not going to freak out. I do have a recipe to share with you but I wanted to share a story first. This picture below is something that…

Blueberry Rolls
‘Tis the season for blueberries! Ah yes, b.e.a.utiful blueberries. I am lucky that I never have to purchase blueberries because my mom has about 20 blueberry bushes. Which means that if I want blueberries, there are most likely 14 bags of them in the freezer, some on the bushes, or some on the counter. Spoiled. I know. There are just so many things to do with blueberries though. Shakes, smoothies, muffins, scones, breads, salads, with meats, cakes, ice creams, or just as snacks you pop in your mouth. Blueberry muffins have to be one of my favorite things in the entire world. I remember coming home to the smell…

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…

Baked Goat Cheese Salad
Good Monday Morning! How are you all doing? Did you have a good Mother’s day? -OR- Did you spoil your mama? I am on the later half of that. I am not a Mom myself so I spent Mother’s day trying to do my best to spoil my own. Every year my gift for my Mom is to buy her all her vegetable and herb plants for the year. We go to a spot that she has picked out that she really enjoys and she picks out anything and everything that she wants. Not a bad deal if you ask me. Not only does she get to have an amazing…

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…

Two Bean Pineapple Salsa
Whew! It has been a while! My poor blog has gotten neglected for the past few weeks. Between traveling for work, being sick and the weather being nice enough to make the grass grow…I have been a busy girl! How have you all been? I am hoping well…the nice weather has been really great to have. This winter seemed extremely long. I do love my snow, but I was ready for some sunshine. The one good thing about all the sunshine is that we get some awesome green plants and colorful flowers. I was so happy to see Patrick and my house look so green again. There is something about…

Blue Cornmeal Waffles
Happy hump day! First off, I wanted to say to anyone who had someone at the Boston Marathon that was involved in the truly horrible acts that occurred, you are in my prayers. I won’t go on a long preach sesh about how terrible it was, even though it was…just know that you have my thoughts and prayers with you. I was very lucky that all my friends that were there are safe ♥ Anyways, so how is your Wednesday going? Mine started off with a workout and then off to a lovely day of work and will conclude with some laziness on the couch this evening. Living the dream…

Monday Morsels
Good morning everyone!! How was your weekend?? Mine was particularly cold. It has been rather chilly here in the East for the past 10 days. We are supposed to get some snow and sleet today as well. Snow, yay! Sleet, boo! I mean don’t get me wrong, I love snow. I am not afraid to drive in it, but when it becomes freezing rain?? No fun, plus people here in the Northeast don’t know how to drive in it. It is amazing, how on earth do people who were born and raised here not know how to drive in this weather better? Unreal to me. Anyways, I promised you all…

Snickerdoodles
Are you all geared up for Thanksgiving? Can you even believe it is here already?! This year has legitimately gone faster than any other year I think I can remember. People always told me when I was younger… “time goes faster as you get older”, oh pish posh! I would think. It could not be more true. AmIright? The older I get the more I think I forget to stop and think about what I am truly grateful for. You just get so busy that you forget to remember what is right in front of you. Today is a bit of reflection for myself. If any of you are friends…

Pecan Streusel Bread
Some of the best days of Fall are spent curled up under a blanket or baking something to warm your family’s tummy on a brisk day. If I had to pick one or the other…I am not sure I could. I do enjoy both very much these days. I find as I get older the “under the blanket” option is much more appealing. 😉 This bread I am sharing with you today is something my mom and I picked out as a good treat. It was featured in the Cooking Light magazine this past month, which was a special addition issue. Had all of their favorite recipes over the past…

Caramel Apple Cookies
Happy Thursday everyone! Although it isnt so happy for me. I am stuck at home with a double ear infection as well as a sinus infection. Needless to say, I am not feeling the best. I think it may have something to do with the Rugged Maniac that I completed this past weekend. My 3rd and final race down! However, I don’t think the ice cold pools of dirty water were good for me. Seems kind of strange that only 2 days later I came down with some pretty serious infections. Hmmm…linked perhaps? I think so. The race was hard and definitely physically demanding. A step above the Warrior Dash…
