    Roasted White Sweet Potato Fries

    So this weekend we got some serious snow. Not as serious as some of the other storms we have had, but the rate at which it came down was the problem. I tend to like snow, but when you have to clean it up? Not so much fun anymore. I still think is is beautiful and since Patrick and I live in the woods, it makes for some pretty amazing views. We also tend to find some interesting prints in our snow after a big one, not sure if it is the neighbors cat or a animals from the woods. Probably a bit of both right? Speaking of critters… I…

    Pumpkin Spiced Latte

    We are official one month away from my wedding. Well technically 29 days today… AH!! I would like to take a moment and thank caffeine for getting to me where I am now. Without it?  I am not quite sure that I would be alive at this point. No joke. Something about Fall though…makes me happy. SO happy! I love leaves, the cool weather, the going back to school (even though I have been out of school for yeaaaars). Wasn’t going back to school so much fun! Well for like a week, but still the back to school shopping and all that jazz! I also love Halloween and Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving…

    Peach Necatrine Butter

    Oh, Hey…     What’s up? Long time no blog. Can we chat for a second? I just wanted you to know it is nothing personal. I don’t hate you, or dislike you even. In fact, I care for you very much. It just, well… Things get in the way sometimes. Sometimes there’s this thing called life, that acts like a tornado and rips through your life and tosses around all your belongings, even that lamp you love that your soon to be hubby hates. It’s kinda crazy. And little annoying. Scratch that, SUPER annoying. My life has been a jumbled mess of decisions, wedding planning, renovations, work and just life. Napkins,…

    Zucchini Fritters

    I am swimming in zucchini… So many zucchini! and since I have a person in my house that hates zucchini, I have to come up with creative ways to get it into dinners. Lucky for me, there is one night a week right now where I am on my own for dinner, so guess what my dinners have consisted of. Wow, how did you guess? Yup, zucchini. I will pretty much eat it any which way, but I wanted to try something different. Do you ever get like that? Where you know there are a million ways you have already had something, and they were all super delicious but you…

    Sweet Potato Chips

    Ok, so it has literally been a month since I have posted….whatttt the heck!? I apologize my dear friends, my priorities have changed so much this past year. I adore my little blog here, but with things that are happening in my life, I am finding it hard to to have to time post and share my recipes. Getting married is really a full time job by itself, not to mention the actual job that I have that I work 8 hours at and then try to get some gym time in and also you know…sleep and renovate my home. Sheesh. Who knew? I still love to cook and I…

    Avocado Fries with Avocado Dipping Sauce

    Ok. I am not sure what else to say about this post, but it is full of green. Not the kind you put in your wallet (more like the kind that is always leaving my wallet). No, not the kind you walk on in the summer. Nah, not St. Patty’s day beer or broccoli. Avocado my friends. Avocado. Can you believe that when I was younger that I actually didn’t even like avocado? ::audience gasps:: Tis true, food bats. Tis True. My love of avocado began in high school when I lived in the Philly area. My Grandad was visiting my family rather regularly because he had a shop associated…

    Turkey Burgers with Cranberry-Apple Relish

    Happy Hump Day! I have a confession… With the wedding coming up, still in full force renovating Patrick’s and my home, traveling…I am just distracted. My life has been a bit of a whirl wind lately and because of that I have had to take a step back from things to try and remain sane. Having to not be involved in some of the things that I love to do! Which is really hard for me. Like this little blog here. She has gotten neglected. Not because I don’t love her so, I do! It’s just. My priorities have shifted a bit. Sheesh, why didn’t someone tell me that Weddings…

    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…
