Strawberry and Apricot Stripe Cookies
I would just like to point out that next week is Thanksgiving. GAH!!! ::sings:: gobble gobble goo and gobble gobble giggle, I wish turkey only cost a nickel. <—if you don’t know what that is from click here. I cannot believe how fast this year has been going. I mean really. Christmas is going to be here before we know it! I am trying to help my mom design a Christmas invitation. What do you all think of the following picture for an invite? Would you like to get this for an invite? I don’t know about you but when it starts to get around this time of year all…

Apple Muffins
This has been a sad week for me. I am sure that you all have heard about the things that have been happening at Penn State. It is almost impossible to turn on your computer or TV without seeing 10 stories about JoePa and his Nittany Lions. I am heartbroken. That is the easiest way to explain it. I am absolutely mortified and disgusted that a man like Sandusky was associated with Penn State. The crimes that he committed are completely unforgivable and I pray for the families and the boys affected; that they may someday be able to heal from this tragedy. My heart is also very heavy with…

Chef to Farm Dinner at Rosedale Farms
NO I didn’t fall off the face of the earth, I am here! I haven’t posted AT ALL this week and it feels so strange…I have been pretty busy and haven’t really made anything worth mentioning on here. However, I will have some really great things for you next week. I will be attending a Halloween themed Chili Cook-Off which I am SUPER excited for. I love dressing up for Halloween I think it is a blast 😀 Btdubs, I got SNOW last night. Yes, snow. At my house. On the ground. Snow. They are predicting 8-10″ tomorrow. It is October! Don’t get me wrong, I LOOOVE snow. Like ♥…

Apple Pocket Tarts
You guys are awesome! Another Top 9. I am just blown away. Thanks bunch for buzzing my Apple Bread!! I have been on a bit of an apple kick lately. There are in season you know? Not to mention I love apples…LOVE them. Like I have before, I have an apple every single day. What is that saying “an apple a day, keeps the doctor away”? Something like that anyways. I always end up getting on these kicks with different ingredients and then make a ton of things with that one ingredient. I mean did you SEE all the pumpkin things I made? Not to mention the blueberry recipes…I wanted…

Apple Bread
Ahhhhh….just what I needed. A weekend. This weekend was so relaxing AND I was able to find a dress for the wedding I am attending this week. I found it at Macy’s and I almost NEVER shop there. I started looking back over the past couple months and I realized that I really haven’t bought myself anything for a while, so what the hell, why not buy myself a new dress for the wedding right? I have never been one of those girls that spends countless hours shopping for clothes (however, when it comes to shoes? Forget about it. I could shop for 12 days- haha). Sometimes it is good…

Nectarine & Blueberry Cobbler
Thank you again for the Top 9 on my Wedding Cake Cookies!! Wow guys, thank you! That just makes my day to come into work and have a notification from Foodbuzz. You foodies are the best ever! 😀 I am very much so looking forward to the weekend. This has been a very difficult and hectic week for me so to have a few days off is going to be JUST what I need. I am sure as always the weekend will fly by, but at least it is at the beginning of it right now. I am also looking forward to spending some quality time with Patrick because he…

Traditional Fall Treat
I don’t know about you but when I was little one of the things that I REALLY looked forward to during the Fall was caramel apples. I remember coming home from school when my mom had made them fresh and it was like the best surprise in the world. Grabbing one of those gooey treats and biting into was just Fall to me. The real trick was trying not to get it all over myself. Somehow I always managed to get caramel in my hair…haha, sorry Mom. Although, I have to admit that kids with sticky fingers is one of the cutest things ever. They have no idea what to…

Peach Blueberry Muffins
I am SO glad it is the weekend. What a week! I know I know…I say that ALL the time. But this week…really, what a frekkin’ week. Between SUPER DUPER stress at work from being gone from traveling and interviewing for positions and then getting in an accident. Just need a break! So I cannot tell you how happy I am that I am getting some much needed rest. So nice to be able to not do anything sometimes you know? This weekend will be full of football watching (Go PSU, Chiefs, and Steelers!) and baking I am sure. I have this recipe I want to try that I am…

Fruit and Oat Bars
I am off and running to Virginia and West Virginia this rainy week for work. Lots of customers to see and try to sell things to haha. It was soooooo nice to have a long weekend! I had a great time relaxing and visiting with friends. Thanks Nicole for the great Petro Labor Day Party! We missed you Mich! 🙁 Always good to have a long weekend, but it always feels like they go faster than the normal weekends. AmIRight? I am already looking forward to this weekend where I am going to Penn State to visit with Tamara and show Patrick around. Getting more and more excited about it…

Spiced Blueberry Muffins
Alllmost Friday…alllmost Friday…I am so ready for the weekend. For 2 reasons really, 1. well, it is the weekend and who doesn’t love the weekend? 2. I will get to see my lion (Patrick)! Travel has kept us apart this week, and this week has suuuure been a long one. I have a feeling the weeks are going to get even longer too because one of my co-workers gave his 2 weeks notice on Monday so that means more work for me. Yikes! I feel like I am already running at full throttle… In other news, I get to see one of my best friends Tamara in 2 weeks! I…

Lemon-Basil Martinis
Hello all! I hope your week is going well so far. Mine is going…a tad bit busy. And we definitely had an earthquake yesterday while I was at work. Weird for CT right?! That is what I thought. I am used to the tornadoes with being from the Midwest, not so much the earthquakes though. Seems like a lot of people felt it along the eastern seaboard. The guy I sit next to goes, “is the building shaking?”…haha yup! This is a drink that I stumbled upon one time at a restaurant and I wanted to try and replicate it. It definitely wasn’t as good as I had it in…

Tilapia with Pineapple Salsa
This week is supplier week at work, which means BUSY! Our company has all our suppliers come in this week for a trade show and then a golf tournament for fun and to also show our appreciation for them doing business with us. It makes for a very chaotic and choppy week. Interruptions and supplier dinners all week long haha. Needless to say, I am ready for the weekend already. Which will include MORE demo on my parents house… This past winter when there was so much snow in New England my parents ended up having a TON of water damage from the ice on the roof. So, they are…
