Patrick’s Birthday Cake
So today is Patrick’s 29th birthday! Happy Birthday Patrick! We are celebrating Patrick’s birthday this week. I didn’t plan anything crazy like I did last year. Most of you who read regularly remember that I took him up to Boston for a surprise birthday weekend. We spend the weekend going around the city to museums, art galleries and really delicious restaurants. This year we aren’t doing anything like that. We have a had a lot going on in the past couple weeks, you know getting engaged and all. My family and I are taking him out to dinner this weekend to one of our favorite restaurants J. Gilberts. By far,…

Monday Morsels
Good morning everyone!! How was your weekend?? Mine was particularly cold. It has been rather chilly here in the East for the past 10 days. We are supposed to get some snow and sleet today as well. Snow, yay! Sleet, boo! I mean don’t get me wrong, I love snow. I am not afraid to drive in it, but when it becomes freezing rain?? No fun, plus people here in the Northeast don’t know how to drive in it. It is amazing, how on earth do people who were born and raised here not know how to drive in this weather better? Unreal to me. Anyways, I promised you all…

Vanilla Cupcakes
Another year has come and gone. Strange how fast time goes isn’t it? I cannot believe that tomorrow I am turning 28. 28! I don’t feel twenty.eight. OK…maybe sometimes I feel 28. My body definitely feels different from now then it did when I was 18 that is for sure. It is harder to get out of bed, not like wake up early. I get up at 5am almost every day. But like STEP out of bed ::CRACCCKKKK:: I sound like I am about 60 years old, however the hip cracking thing deeply stems from being a dancer. Seriously…ask a dancer about cracking their hips. Guarantee they love it haha.…

C is for Chocolate Cake?
Is anyone else amazed that we are almost half way through January?? I am! I From October to present I feel like the duration of time has been about 2 weeks. I am flabbergasted at how fast the days are going! Today is one of my best friends birthday’s. We are exactly one week apart! (that’s right I have a birthday coming up haha). Lots of January babies in my family. She is such an amazing person and I absolutely love her to death! I have known Miss Alana (now Mrs.) since I was about 5 years old. We went to elementary school together and part of middle school as…

Turkey Panini with Thyme Mayo
I am 26 today! OH MY GOODNESS! Where on earth did the time go?? I definitely do not feel 26 that is for sure, well I take that back…sometimes after I work out or after dance rehearsal I feel like I am 26slash50. hehe 😉 A special thanks to all my family and friends for wishing me a Happy Birthday today, it means so much that you all think of me. Thank you, thank you!! 🙂 This past Christmas I got a panini maker in a Yankee Swap that happens every year. If you have never had a Yankee Swap, consider doing it with your family next Christmas. It is…

The Mary Jane Special
Happy Monday Everyone! I would have to say that I am having a severe case of the Mondays today. Just not having a good day. Work has gotten frustrating again. Sometimes it is hard to put in all the work I do when I get no credit for it. My boss told me today that I have a 45 minute presentation to give to some sales people TOMORROW! No notice at all! Very frustrating. Anyways, this past weekend was Tino’s birthday as most of you know by the previous posts. His mom invited us over for dinner on Saturday night celebrate his birthday. We had a really nice time and…

Lattitude
🙂 I hope you all are having a great weekend so far! Tino’s birthday was a complete success…he loved the brownies and dinner was fantastic! Guess what?! He even won $100 from a scratch ticket that his Dad bought him, imagine that! So, I took Tino out to Latitude last night (see Birthday Brownies post to visit website). It was actually a really nice dinner. The restaurant was a modern place, very modern decor. It probably sat about 50 people in the main dining area and maybe 30 in the bar. Relatively a small place compared to most of the places that we have gone. Let’s start off with the…

Birthday Brownies!
Today is my boyfriend’s birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TINO! The lucky duck took the day off from work today and is currently sleeping in as I type this post. I, however, am stuck at work until 11:30. Which isn’t too bad I guess haha 😉 Anyways, he requested for his birthday that I make him brownies. Considering I just made cupcakes for his friend’s wife’s birthday I think he was all set with on the cake front because he did a lot of the taste testing, hehe. So, since it is his birthday I thought I would humor him. There is nothing too exciting about these brownies…he picked out some brownies…

Birthday and Save the Tatas cupcakes!
Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! The weather here was so fabulous this weekend. A little bit on the cooler side, but overall extremely nice. I love fall weekends! This past weekend one of my bf’s friends threw a surprise party for his wife’s 30th birthday. I told him that I would bring cupcakes but I wanted to make them a little more personal for her because she is such a sweet girl. So I asked her husband what her favorite color was. He found out for me and told me it was pink. Perfect! Not only was I so excited to make pink cupcakes but it is also…
