Chef to Farm Dinner at Rosedale Farms

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 ♥…

Spicy Louisiana Tilapia Fillets with Sautéed Veggie Relish
I am here to inform you that Kristin’s wedding was a blast! She was just the prettiest bride and everything seemed to go so very smoothly for her. I am so happy for her! 😀 Patrick and I had a great time! We definitely enjoyed all the food and danced the entire night which is always a good time. I promised that I would show a picture of my dress so here it is! I personally think the best part of my outfit was my hair…I went to get it done at my salon for the first time for a wedding. I NEVER do that, don’t ask why because I…

Wedding Cake Cookies
I literally mean Wedding Cake shaped cookies 🙂 One of the girls that I work with, Kristin, is getting married on Oct 14th so the women at the office decided to throw her a small bridal shower. I made the cookies for the shingdig and my mother made the cake. I don’t have any pictures of the cake, but I assure you it was absolutely gorgeous. She is so talented. Someday I hope I am as good as she is at decorating things; at least I have her as my teacher! Kristin’s colors are purple and cream so my Mom and I wanted to make sure that the cookies and…

Carrot Cake Cupcakes
Weekends go by too fast. It is just a fact of life. Every time the weekend comes I am so ecstatic and then it seems in the blink of an eye it is gone and I am stuck behind my desk at work again. This weekend WAS a lot of fun though which I am sure is why it seemed to go even faster than I wanted it to. I was able to meet up with one of my old friends John in Mystic CT. Not only did I get to see a lot of history at the Mystic Seaport but I also got to catch up with one of…

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…

Rainbow Sprinkle Donuts
I did it!! People I did it! Finally, I have been talking for months and months to so many of you about how I wanted to make donuts and I finally did it! Thank goodness I made them before the hurricane came through my town though. We have been without power now for 3 days. Which means, no cooking and no showering :-(. My sweet lion was nice enough to let me come over and get a shower in yesterday…thank goodness for that! This is what it looked like on either end of the street I live on…trees are down everywhere in the Northeast. From the sounds of it, the…

Blueberry Lynchburg Lemonade
Hello Hello! How are all my wonderful foodies doing?! I have been hardcore missing in action this week. This past weekend I did the Susan G. Komen 3-Day, 60 mile, walk for Breast Cancer in Boston and this week I have been taking vacation from work, a MUCH needed break from the norm. I didn’t go anywhere special, just hanging out with my mom and spending some quality time with her. 🙂 The walk one of the most liberating experiences of my life and it was one of the hottest weekends in Boston on record! I didn’t mind the heat though, I was there because I wanted to support those…

Gates Bar-B-Q
Ever notice that when you travel to places food tends to be one of things you remember the most? Good or bad. I have been to so many different places and the food always ends up being something that sticks in my memory the most. When I went back to Kansas City to visit family and friends there was 2 places that I knew I had to go because of the food. Gates Bar-B-Q and John’s Space Age Donuts. Let me tell you that these 2 places stick in my brain the most because, well…the food is great!! I literally landed in KC at about 11:00am and went straight to…

Oatmeal Nutella Swirl Cookies
I am officially burnt out! Thank goodness it is Thursday and the weekend is almost here. This week with training has been so rough. I cannot believe how much I have done this week and as I look back on it…I am amazed that I am not falling asleep as I type this, haha. Whew…just one of those weeks. Next week should be much better and this weekend should be nice and relaxing for once. As a side note! Happy Birthday Mom! She had a birthday yesterday and I thought she deserved a mention. 🙂 How is the weather for you this week? It has been uncharacteristically hot for Connecticut.…
