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…

Cayenne Peanut Brittle
It’s Monday again. How did this happen? Wasn’t it just Friday… Our weekends fly by way too fast and I know everyone ALWAYS says this. But, man, it’s true! There is never enough time in the weekend to get done what you want to get done or not get done 😉 Nothing terribly exciting is happening in my life at the moment. Lot’s of little things to keep me busy. Are you doing anything special on Valentine’s Day with your sweetie? I am normally not one to do the whole “Valentine’s Day” thing, but Patrick has gone all out this year for me. Which was unexpected and kind of great…

Almond Date Cranberry Snacks
Good Monday Morning Friends! How was everyone’s weekend? Mine was full of working on the house as usual. Went out with some friends on Friday night which was so fun. It is always good to get together for dinner, talk about nothing and everything and drink wine. It is a good way to end the week. Patrick and I also talked to a travel agent about our honeymoon! We were so torn between so many different places. We have a budget in place and it was just so overwhelming we thought, well…I thought it would be nice to meet with someone who plans travel for a living. Patrick was set…

Rosemary Roasted Almonds
Good Monday Morning. Did you all have a nice weekend? Mine started off with me buying a wedding dress! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! That’s right, this is getting reallllllly real now. My mom and I went to the bridal shop on Friday already having an idea of which dresses to choose from. We had narrowed it down to 2 after my 2nd visit to the shop. I did my hair nicely and had some nice earrings on and actually wore high heels as to get a better idea of what the dress would look like. We went in open minded and I had one other dress I wanted to try but we were…

2013 in Review & Some Resolutions (kinda)
Happy 2014!!! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a great New Years Eve. It seemed to go by so very fast for me this year, I don’t know why. I suppose it is because I have a lot going on. But 2013 flew by me. I know this year is going to go even faster because I am getting married this year!! AHHHHHHH! I cannot believe it. It has almost been a year since I have been engaged. Seems so odd, but exciting at the same time. Patrick and I have been doing well on the planning front, well I have been doing well on the planning…

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus
Well hellloooo there! I hope your holidays have been filled with lots of love and cheer thus far. Mine have been quiet. Spent the majority of my time with my folks. Patrick is in St. Louis visiting family. The past few days have been a chance for me to reflect on the year and also to just sit back and relax. I have had the past week off on vacation. My office has had a mandatory shutdown on holiday weeks this year. Which is good and bad I suppose. It has been nice to be able to sleep in and catch up on some reading. Santa brought my all I…

Thanksgiving & a Giveaway!
**Giveaway Closed** Hello all! Did you have a great Thanksgiving? Stuff yourself with far too much food? Spend time with loved ones or friends? My grandparents were in town this past week and it was really nice to spend some time with them. I was lucky enough to have the entire week off. GULP. Yes, the entire week. I know, unheard of. Living so far away from family, I don’t get to see them that often so it was nice to see them and catch up and spend a holiday with them. We spent time watching the Peanuts specials on ABC, which I just can never resist watching. Who doesn’t…
