Blue Cornmeal Waffles
Happy hump day! First off, I wanted to say to anyone who had someone at the Boston Marathon that was involved in the truly horrible acts that occurred, you are in my prayers. I won’t go on a long preach sesh about how terrible it was, even though it was…just know that you have my thoughts and prayers with you. I was very lucky that all my friends that were there are safe ♥ Anyways, so how is your Wednesday going? Mine started off with a workout and then off to a lovely day of work and will conclude with some laziness on the couch this evening. Living the dream…

Bittersweet Chocolate Scones
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you all are having a lovely Valentine’s day! Filled with lots of love, flowers and CHOCOLATE! 😉 I must admit that I am not much of a Valentine’s day kind of girl. With me, I would much rather someone do something for me just because and not because you are “supposed” to on Valentine”s day. Don’t get me wrong, I think it is adorable when people end up doing things creative and unique for one another. For me Valentine’s day is always right around the beginning of Lent. Around this time, I spend a couple days thinking about what it is that I should be…

Quinoa Flakes
I have been totally neglecting my blog here. It is terrible and I owe an apology to RavieNomNoms. My sincerest of apologies, dear friend! My life has been hectic to say the least in the past month and I just doesn’t seem to be letting up AT ALL. Work has been…well to put it lightly. AWFUL! SAP is literally making me want to change my career path at the moment. I am so stressed at work all the time which just makes for some really really long days. I am sure the company will get through it, but right now…it is just frustrating. The new house, which I fall in…

Breakfast Quinoa with Fruit
Hello my dears! I hope all of you that participated in this month’s pen pal had fun. I was so amazed at how much fun I had with it. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but I am SO glad that I decided to do it. Definitely doing it again! Can I tell you what I am most excited about right now? The fact that I will be in Disney at the end of this month! GAH!! You have no idea how much I am anticipating this vacation. I totally need it… Work has been SO stressful lately that all I want to do is run away. Stupid SAP.…

Pancakes for Dinner
Thanks everyone! You all have been so sweet and supportive of Patrick and I with our new house. We are so very excited about it all and thank you all for being excited with us! Every time I look at it I get so excited now! I have to admit that when we first found out that they accepted our offer it was kind of a mix of emotions. I mean…when you buy your first house, it almost like you are saying goodbye to your childhood. I have been with my parents now for a long time and I will be going out on my own now, well with Patrick…

Oatmeal with Fruit Compote
I am back! First off, when I woke up this morning it felt like it was 3am. That was not fun haha. I found that going out to California I really adjusted well to the time difference, but the coming back to CT? The time change is being quite a pain. I thought that I would be able to adjust just as easily…not so much. 😛 The weather in California was so glorious…I cannot even tell you how great of a break it was to have some actual sunshine that had warmth to it. It was in the high 60s, low 70s the whole time I was in California and…

Oat-topped Fig Muffins
Hello, hello! I have less than 3 days until I got to California! I cannot tell you how excited I am. It is going to be so nice to get a break from the normal and have a mini vacation. I am definitely counting down the days! OH and a side note, thank you to all of you who donated this weekend for my cancer walk in July…you all have been so generous and I am so grateful to have each and every one of you in my life. Your support is so amazing! This weekend was kind of hectic but not in bad way. I had a dinner/get together…

Cinnamon French Toast
Who doesn’t love French Toast? Especially on the weekend, I mean really…can there be anything more delicious that a couple pieces of french toast on a cold morning? When I was little this was something my Dad used to make for me a lot before school. Granted it wasn’t fancy french toast, but I ALWAYS looked forward to it. He always made us the best breakfast though! My personal favorite is when he used to make toast and he would put butter AND peanut butter (crunchy, naturally) on it. That was SO good! Really bad for you but sooooo good! haha Thanks for being awesome Dad! 😉 For the past…

Leftover Breakfast
I am sad to say that I normally do not eat breakfast during the week…I am normally too busy in the morning to get something to eat and then once I get to work it is go-go-go. So, I normally just drink my coffee or tea and wait until lunchtime. On the weekend though, that is another story! I could eat 2 breakfasts if I was allowed to! haha 😉 Well, this time…I had leftovers from my Turkey Burger dinner to have home fries with eggs for breakfast. Delicious! Even though I don’t eat breakfast that often, it doesn’t mean that I don’t enjoy all the great breakfast foods. My…
