Zesty Lemon Shrimp Pasta
Ok, so again this being grown up thing? When did this happen? The getting up and going to work thing is overrated. Yea yea, money is nice…but man, if I could just get an extra hour of sleep everyday that would be saaawweeet! To add the grownupness…Patrick and I stumbled across a house that we like and decided to go look at it. One of those things that we drive by it every day to work and decided “what the heck” why not go and check it out just for fun? Talk about your all time backfires. Guess who the dumb girl is that really likes this house is even…

Carrot Bread
Do you have a show that you love to watch on TV? I am rarely home to watch TV let alone get obsessed with one. Back when LOST was still on, I was an absolute maniac about that show. I started watching it in college and my love affair with that show continued for its entire duration. After LOST went off the air, I really didn’t have anything that I raced home to watch or that I was really upset that I missed. I have friends that are fans of The Bachelor and other reality TV shows like that. I have really never gotten into them. To tell you the…

Sur La Table Cooking Class
As promised, here is the post about the class that I took at Sur La Table. It was called Date Night: Cozy French Dinner, and here is what was on the menu: Thyme and Gruyere Gougeres Frisee and Apple Salad with Dijon-Honey Vinaigrette Coq a Vin with Wild Mushrooms Chocolate Pots de Crème with Walnut Praline This meal was designed to be a rustic hearty meal. It definitely was! From the moist and crisp gougeres to the tart salad and the savory coq a vin…it was an all around stellar meal. I will definitely be making some of these recipes again. Although I would change some of them around just…

Kung Pao Chicken
TGIF!! Any big plans this weekend? I have the cooking class, other than that just lots of working out trying to get more in shape for my trip to Disney in May. Yup that’s right! I am going to Disney!! I have never been. My brother went a couple times but I wasn’t ever taken. I think my grandparents on my Mom’s side liked him better as a child haha. He went like 2 or 3 times and I never got to go. Well you know what?! I AM GOING NOW! The girls I play softball with got a timeshare down there for an entire week around Memorial day so…

SweetBurgers with Chipotle Cilantro Cream
We are going to start off today with some frustration and then get to the excitement, sound good? OK, so I am CONFUSED!! What the heck Facebook? The timeline feature is really neat to look at, but how the heck do I get it to do what I want for my RavieNomNoms Fanpage? I can’t get any of my links to come up just under my cover picture. Maybe it has something to do with the amount of people you have liking your page and that gives you different options? As, I am looking through book of faces that is all I can tell. Some people are able to put…

Stuffed Red Peppers
Thank you all for the Top 9 today! So nice of you all to have buzzed my post for my mom with the Cinnamon Chip Scones. 🙂 The Lenten season has begun…I have always taken part in Lent. Something my family and I have been doing ever since I can remember. Do you give anything up for Lent? I know a lot of people say they take Sundays “off” during Lent so they can indulge in that they gave up, I am not one of those people. I do stay away from meat on Fridays during Lent, but then again I don’t eat a lot of meat to begin with.…

I Heart Cookies
Gizzy is home!!! Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers and kind words. I know they helped him. He was in the bunny hospital for 3 days. He is home now and has some meds he has to take and he has to take it easy, but he is home. Thank Goodness! You have no idea the amount of stress I was going through while he was at the vet. That constant unknown is horrible. Man o man. I am hoping for nothing but a healthy bunny for the rest of his healthy bunny life. I think it shaved a few years off my own life to…

Fishy Quinoa
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…

Tomato & Mozzarella Bites
Well hello everyone! How are you doing today on this Thursday morning? It has been a weeee bit chilly this week. Yesterday morning we had a high of about 5ºF. Just a tad chilly. I am ready for snow! I am getting frustrated with this no snow thing. I love to snowboard and this no snow thing is REALLY cramping my style. Grrrrrr! Every year my parents throw a party of some sort. Ever since I can remember my family has been putting on parties with TONS of people. When we lived in Kansas City, their Christmas parties were epic. When I say epic…I mean, 100+ people fitting into a…

Cider and Herb Pork
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…

Chicken Pepper Pasta
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…
