Spicy Asian Chicken and Noodle Soup
It is getting to be that time of year where all I want to do on the weekends is curl up with a good book, a blanket, and a bowl of soup and just lounge around. Fall is seriously my favorite time of year. I just love the cool brisk air and when the leaves that start to change. I have hoped ever since I was a little girl that I would be able to get married in the Fall. I am sure that me getting married is quite some time away right now, but a girl can dream. 😉 This soup I am sharing with you today is a…

Pan-Fried Tilapia with Tomato Basil Sauté
I finally broke down…and joined Twitter. Haha…I have had people telling me for like ever and day to join Twitter, so I finally did it. I have NO idea what I am doing or what I need to do or really even how to post anything but I am sure I will find out shortly. If you want to follow me I have a link at the top of my page, right next to the Facebook and RSS feed button. I least know how to do that much! Haha or you can follow me by clicking on my Follow button on Foodbuzz. Like I said…I have NO idea what I…

Peach and Feta Chicken Pizza
Hello my foodie friends! How are you this Thursday morning? I am certainly doing better than I was yesterday. I dropped my car off at a shop to get repaired after my accident that I had this week. What a bummer! I am glad that my car will be getting fixed though. I pretty much love my car (2008 Ford Escape XLT V6, vroom vroom!) so having it get fixed is going to be the highlight of my week next week. It is always so hard to not have a car you know? I am lucky that I have an extra car that I can drive around. I had a…

Maple-Lemon Glazed Salmon with Feta Quinoa
I tell ya, when it rains it pours! I have been SO busy at work pretty much the entire year but this past month it has gotten exceptionally bad. With people leaving and new people starting in my group it has been really hard to get my usual day-to-day work done. On top of traveling for work and the workload I am just burnt out! To add to that…I got into a accident yesterday on my way home from the gym :-(…not fun at all!! Just goes to show how much I hate New England drivers haha. I am fine, a couple bumps and bruises and slight neck pain. The…

Baked Egg in a Tomato Boat
I have power!! Finally have power in the house. Thank goodness! I cannot tell you how glad I am that it is back, but not for the reasons you might think. The not having electricity wasn’t what really bothered me…I mean yes, it was horrible that I couldn’t cook like I wanted to, but not having TV or the lights wasn’t really that big of a deal to me. Honestly, I hardly EVER turn on the TV anyways. My life is so busy most of the time that by the time I get home at night after work, dance, softball, kickball, the gym, various errands, etc. all I want to…

Stuffed Banana Peppers
The garden is just bursting with vegetables right now and I am loving every single second. I have become SUCH a vegetable eater as I have gotten older. I just don’t have the desire anymore to have a big juicy steak. The last time I actually went for meat was when I was in Kansas City and I was going to Gates BBQ, where I stuffed my face like a fat kid with some pulled pork and baked beans…mmmm, nomnoms. Other than that… ::shrugs:: I think I could really live without it. I think it has something to do with the fact that the beef just doesn’t taste the same…

Tilapia with Pineapple Salsa
This week is supplier week at work, which means BUSY! Our company has all our suppliers come in this week for a trade show and then a golf tournament for fun and to also show our appreciation for them doing business with us. It makes for a very chaotic and choppy week. Interruptions and supplier dinners all week long haha. Needless to say, I am ready for the weekend already. Which will include MORE demo on my parents house… This past winter when there was so much snow in New England my parents ended up having a TON of water damage from the ice on the roof. So, they are…

Chipotle-Rubbed Salmon Tacos with Apple-Cucumber Salsa
Happy Thursday! The week is almost over friends…I am particularly looking forward to this weekend because one of best friends is going to be in NYC this weekend and I am going to go and see her :-D!!!! This is my Kait and I….hehe. We are complete goofs and I love it. We are always doing something silly, saying something silly, or making other people do silly things. haha 😉 Kait and I met when we were both attending Penn State University as undergrads. We were both a part of the University Dance Company and that is where our friendship really began. Ever since then I have considered Kait to…

Pesto Shrimp Pasta
Hello there! I trust you had a fabulous weekend. My weekend was pretty good. Definitely went to a Mac and Cheese tasting with some of my friends, haha. Mac and Cheese tasting you say?? Believe me this was the best idea they could have ever had. Each person that came to the tasting brought their own Mac and Cheese dish. They were numbered and then we all tried the dishes and cast our votes. My Mac and Cheese came in 2nd place, woot woot! haha, I have to say it was pretty fun and all the different Mac and Cheeses?! Can we say food coma? We had a blast chatting…

Fiery Flank Steak with Tomato Jam
Happy Friday everyone! I hope that you all have had a fabulous week and are gearing up for your weekends. May not be a long weekend like this past one, but still a weekend right? I have been doing my best to get caught up this week on lots of things from being away. Work, bills, friends, my blog! Man oh man…I feel like I haven’t been posting regularly and it feels so weird haha. I am sure some of you know what I am talking about. If you go on vacation or are away and you don’t post things or aren’t around to look at other recipes, it feels…

Corn on the Cob with Roasted Jalapeño Butter
Do you ever notice that sometimes things don’t work out the way you planned them to? I never planned on moving from state to state the way I have. Although I wouldn’t change it for the world. I think that moving as much as I have has really shaped me as a person. There are people and places I would have never met or seen if I hadn’t of moved from KS to PA to now CT. I was very fortunate to be able to visit with my family and friends over the July 4th holiday in KS. I miss them all terribly and sometimes it is nice to go…

Jalapeno Turkey Burger and Baked Potato
Once again another week comes and goes my friends. Another busy week has come and gone and I must say, I am pretty exhausted. But I can’t be!! I have rehearsal tonight for the next show that the dance company is in. We have 2 shows Saturday and I am sure they will go extremely well, I just need to get some energy in the next few hours before I jet off to rehearsal. 😛 Do you ever have one of those days where you just want a meal that is super comforting and satisfying? I had one of those nights and I wanted to make something that was going…
