Splendid Spiced Strawberry Muffins
Happy Monday The show for the dancing company I have been dancing with is coming up this Sunday so I might be slightly MIA here and there. Try and excuse my absence and general lack of focus this week. I promise I’ll be back to my Ravie Nom Noms self soon. We all know I have been on a muffin kick lately because of my giving up “desserts/sweets” for Lent. The following muffin was something I had been craving for some reason. Strawberries make me think of summer and since it is just now acting like it is spring outside, I wanted to make something that reminded me that summer…

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…

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…

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…

Nutella Banana Turnovers
I made it! 14 days on the detox and I made it. WHEW! What an experience that was! Thanks again to all of you out there that supported me the whole time. It was so very much appreciated, I cannot even express my gratitude. Although the detox is over there are some things that I learned from it that I really feel like I am going to keep with me. The eating small meals every few hours I think I am going to stick with. That really helped my body stay alert and full of energy, which I really liked. Another thing I want to keep doing is eating breakfast!…

Cranberry Mousse Tarts
Gooble google goo and gobble gobble giggle…I wish turkey only cost a nickle! 😉 I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving! Mine was really good and full of food and good people. I actually went to Penn State the day after Thanksgiving (post will be coming for that one) which was SO much fun! Was able to catch up with two of my closest friends, Kait and Tamara. Love them to death! Normally, I am just the helper on Thanksgiving because my mom is in charge (I am sure most of you know how this is haha). I try to fill in when she can’t multi-task anymore haha. This…

Fruit at Work
Every Wednesday we have this thing called “Ice Cream Day” at work. This is an event that was created by our administrative assistants where all the employees are invited to go and get ice cream for a couple bucks (in a cone or in a bowl) in the afternoon. I am not sure how many of you have ever been in an ‘office’ setting…especially a corporate office setting, but whenever there is food around in the office people DEVOUR it! I am not talking like once in a while snacking. You put anything out in the office and people are like vultures, haha 😉 Don’t get me wrong…I am a…
