    Spicy Roasted Tomato Soup

    Who loves summer? Who loves tomatoes in the summer? ::raises hand:: Tomatoes from the garden have to be one of the most delicious things. I don’t think it gets much better. Today I am stealing someone’s recipe. Well, maybe not stealing, but using and enjoying immensely. Steph over at Steph’s Bite by Bite made this amazing Roasted Tomato Basil Soup, and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to try it. Not only am I a HUGE tomato fan fanatic, but I also have to stick to rather soft food at the moment. I knew this would be a winner. I changed up the recipe just a…

    Happy Friday All! Do you have anything fun planned for your weekend? Patrick and I are once again going to be working on the house. But that is OK! We are loving the new place and we cannot wait to move in. Going to be amazing. I am sure there will be plenty of pictures to see. We have been running around all over the place these past 2 weekends so we weren’t able to get AS much done as we wanted. However, we did get ALL of the popcorn ceilings taken down on the first floor…woot! So to the second floor this weekend. We are also picking up our…

    How was your 4th of  July?!  Do anything fun? Patrick and I went up to Boston to see the “Boston Pops”, aka their firework celebration on the 4th of July. We had some…interesting events that happened while we were up there haha. Just to list a few: We road the T (subway) just about wherever we went. It is convenient and cheap, so why not right? Well whilst we were on the T, there was an older gentleman (perhaps I shouldn’t call him that, just keep reading) who was having quite a sneezing attack. Such an attack that the majority of those sitting around him moved down a little in…

    Notice anything different about my blog? No, not the design. Nope, not a new post. Look a little higher, little higher, BAM! This website is now www.ravienomnoms.com. No more wordpress.com :-). Just thought you all might like to know. It should redirect you automatically, but just in case…now you know 😉 Confession time… OK, I admit it, I am a bit obsessed with Cooking Light. I anxiously wait to get them in the mail every month and then I thumb through them and mark just about every single page as a “must try” recipe. There could be worse things right? That is what I always say when Patrick gives me…

    Did you all go over and check out Steph’s Bakesale?? It was an amazing line up and it seems like she had great success. So thank you to all of you who went over to check it out and bid on items. I know she is very grateful! How was your weekend?? Mine was good. Pretty low key. Had rehearsal on Saturday night, which was good. We are getting ready for our Spring show for the dance company I am in. Should be a good one I think :-). I like all the pieces Jenn has picked so that always makes it easier. I just hope I life up to…

    The moving is still going on. We have made some major headway and I am glad to report that we will be finishing up this weekend! WOOT! Saturday morning we have a crew of guys coming over to help with the really big furniture, which will make this entire process a lot easier. With moving as much as I have in my life, I have gotten pretty good at boxing and moving things…but those big pieces of furniture they are a b*tch to move! One word of advice if you ever do move, use a moving company. I know it is pricey but I promise it will be worth it…

    Hello everyone…how are you this week? This week has been kinda gone fast for me so far. For a few reasons really… Patrick and I have been working to get him moved out of his apartment because we are moving in together :-), and when I say working, I mean…like we have barely done anything haha. He has to be out of his apartment by the 9th of February so we really need to get our a$$es in gear. We have done SOME, but not nearly as much as we need to. I am hoping this weekend that we can REALLLLLLY get to work and get some things moved. Wish…

    How is everyone doing this AM? Hopefully well. I am SO glad it is Friday. Although I cannot believe that it is the 9th of December! Yowza! Has anyone noticed anything different about my blog? It has been a little colder since the start of December…I wonder if that is because of the weather (*ahem can you see the snow?). I am amazed at how quickly time flies. I have gotten all of my Christmas shopping done (besides the day I go shopping with my Dad for my Mom, I have always been the one designated as Dad’s Christmas shopping partner because I help him pick out the good stuff…

    Hello everyone! I have been MIA this week. Been feeling slightly under the weather and I missed 2 days of work this week which has made the rest of my week pretty hectic during the day. You know whenever you miss a few days of something you just feel out of sorts? That is how I feel this week. I am sure I will get back up to speed, but it is the catching up that is the brutal part. HOWEVER! In the coming weeks I have some really exciting news to share with all of you. I don’t mean to hold you all in suspense, but I just wanted…

    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…
