Finding Center
Hello my friends. Happy Holidays! It has been a while hasn’t it? I have to admit that things have been a little hectic and I really haven’t had much time to blog or even cook really. I have been using the time to try and get myself centered. Sometimes you need to take a break and just step back for…

Snickerdoodles
Are you all geared up for Thanksgiving? Can you even believe it is here already?! This year has legitimately gone faster than any other year I think I can remember. People always told me when I was younger… “time goes faster as you get older”, oh pish posh! I would think. It could not be more true. AmIright? The older…

Pecan Streusel Bread
Some of the best days of Fall are spent curled up under a blanket or baking something to warm your family’s tummy on a brisk day. If I had to pick one or the other…I am not sure I could. I do enjoy both very much these days. I find as I get older the “under the blanket” option is…

Spooky Cookies
BOO! Happy Halloween! First of all, any and all of you who have been affected by Hurricane Sandy. My heart and prayers go out to you. Here in CT we didn’t get hit as badly as we did last year, thank goodness. I am not sure we could have taken 2 years in a row with so much damage from…

Baked Jalapeño Poppers
Waking up to these cool mornings makes me happy. Walking to my car in the morning to head to work with the brisk air hitting my cheeks and taking a deep breath in of the crisp scent of Fall. Can you tell I love Fall? It reminds me of family, gathering with friends, riding on hayrides, apple cider doughnuts, tons…

Caramel Apple Cookies
Happy Thursday everyone! Although it isnt so happy for me. I am stuck at home with a double ear infection as well as a sinus infection. Needless to say, I am not feeling the best. I think it may have something to do with the Rugged Maniac that I completed this past weekend. My 3rd and final race down! However,…

Pumpkin Pie Cake with Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting
OK, so first off this day has been like the day from absolute hell. GAH! Work is driving me absolutely bonkers. I feel like I keep spinning my tires and doing all this work for people and then I get trampled on. Ever have those weeks? Can’t seem to get anything done, or do anything the way people want to…

Apple Upside Down Cake
I did it!! I completed my first race! WOOO!! The race I participated in was called the Tavern Trot and all the proceeds went to Alex’s Lemonade Stand, which I just love. Anything I can do to help out kids with cancer, or anyone with cancer I am all about it. It was actually a 3.5 mile race. I thought…

Happy Thursday Friends! Is anyone else glad that it is almost the end of the week? I sure am! Seems like the weekends go by so fast and the weeks just go slow, so I am always happy when the weekend is almost here. Plus that means that Patrick and I get to work on the house some more. I…
