Blueberry Banana Muffin Bites {Paleo}
Holy more snow Batman! We are still digging out from snow again! New England was having SUCH a mild winter and then BAM, we got like 40″+ in a week span. What is the deal? Don’t get me wrong, I do love the snow, it is gorgeous and pretty and I truly enjoy looking at it. However, when you get older the playing in the snow goes away and the cleaning it up becomes more of the deal. Oh well. It wouldn’t be so bad if Patrick was around more, but the hubs travels a lot. He is Germany right now so it is tough. BUT, he did get to…

Lemon Zucchini Muffins
My Blog is turning 3 today!! Can you believe that?! I cannot believe that I have been blogging for 3 years. So many recipes, so many new friends, so many opportunities. I would never have thought 3 years ago that the blog would become such a big part of my life but it has. People that I never would have thought of paying attention to things like a food blog, talk to me about my recipes or about the content that I write about. Just wow! Throughout the 3 years I have been amazed at the interest, support and overall love I have gotten with this blog. I wanted to…

Dark Chocolate Banana Muffins
Good morning everyone! How are you today? I have to admit I am a little tired this AM. Auditions for the dance company that I dance with were last night. Classes and auditions started at 8pm and we got done around 11pm. 3 hours doesn’t seem like a lot until you are dancing and sweating and getting worn out. I have a couple nice bruises to prove I worked hard! haha Anyways, we had a great turn out. I am very excited to see what this new year of dance brings fro Eclipse. As many of you know, I am a Penn State fan. I went to Penn State. I…

Banana Spice Muffins
Man, what a tornado these past few weeks have been. Most of you know that Patrick and I have been working to get ourselves our first house. We had our home inspection on Monday afternoon. Overall things went pretty well, here and there things that have to be taken care of…but that is a house right? Our major concern was that the inspector said that the roof needed to be replaced. Knowing that the seller was going to be paying all the closing costs, we knew this was going to be a battle. We thought we would start at the beginning and send in a unsatisfactory inspection form to the…

Blueberry Pomegranate Muffins
1 week down of the detox. Doing well! I baked some muffins yesterday when I had my break for Sunday Dinner. 1 week to go and then I will be all done. I am going strong. Although I do miss having a piece of toast or oatmeal with my breakfast haha 😉 I have a confession… I.am.obsessed.with.Pinterest. Like obsessed! I happened to stumble across it once or twice and then have seen a lot of foodies using it and then had a coworker mention it, so I HAD to check it out. If you haven’t ever, do so! Especially if you like pictures, it is like heaven for anyone who…

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…

Pumpkin Muffins
Thank you again everyone for the Top 9 for my Spicy Asian Chicken Noodle Soup!! WOW! I am so happy that you all think my stuff is good enough to buzz. Made my day! Really 😀 I cannot tell you how glad I am that it is Friday today! I have had a hellish week. I just started a new job in the past 2 weeks, which is good because I get paid more, haha, but bad because I have WAY more work. I am still in that adjustment phase where it is new. I am sure some of you know how that goes. On a lighter note, I get…

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…

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…

Raspberry Shortcake…Well, sort of.
I have a confession… I am totally excited about Friday! Why you ask?? Well, because a band named Hot Lunch is playing at a bar named Maximum Capacity in Chicopee, Mass. Did you just say hot lunch? YES I DID! It is a local band that I come to know and love. They however have not had a show in a very long time so I am so excited to go out and support them this Friday. I even talked to 3 of the band members on this past Saturday putting in my requests for their playlist, haha. I’ll be the one down in front dancing around singing at the…

Lemon Glazed Blueberry Muffins
Good dreary Monday morning to you all! New England has a forecast of about 6 straight days of rain…I mean I know it is Spring and Mother Nature tends to like rain around this time of year, but 6 straight days of rain is just plain brutal. The only good part about it being so wet, cold, and rainy outside is that I get to stay inside any make lots of goodies. I know most people really hate rainy days and while I am not a huge fan; I can at least appreciate the down time to do things inside the house, like cook/bake! These muffins I made this weekend…
