Chocolate Chip Cookies
Good Thursday Morning to everyone! How is your week going thus far? Mine has been going rather quickly actually. Can’t complain about that! Makes the weekend come faster. Ever heard of Christmas in July? Well I got Christmas in August. I would just like to say that I have the best boyfriend in all of the land (ok, yes I did just say “in all of the land”, but maybe that is because he make me feel like a princess 😉 ). He found this sale on Onieda.com. Holy frekkin’ moly! Talk about getting things for dirt cheap. He is such a good deal finder. Just like me actually haha.…

So forgive me foodies and America for my late posting for my 4th of July cookies 🙂 I am not going to go crazy with this post…I am just going to showcase the lovely cookies I made for my Mom’s 4th of July celebration.

Interesting times people, interesting times. Anyways, I am…

Lemon Earl Grey Squares
Hello all!! I am doing a guest post today over at Steph’s Bite by Bite while she is traveling. Go on over and check it out! I am sharing my Lemon Earl Grey Bars. A recipe I picked up from Cooking Light. Shocking I know 😉 I also wanted to give a shout out to my Daddy today! It is his 53rd birthday! He is the best darn Daddy a girl could as for and I am so grateful to have him in my life. Ever since I can remember I have been what you might call a “Daddy’s girl”. I was always helping him with his work outside or…

A Post For My Foodies
Dear Fellow Foodie Friends, This is a letter for all lovers of food, food bloggers, and foodies alike. Thank you! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all of your amazing features, adventures and recipes that you share with the blogging world everyday. My life would certainly not be the same without you. There is so much buzz (no pun intended 😉 ) about whether or not we food bloggers are taking value away from the food industry. Whether or not we are making a laughing stock of what it is to be a food writer. Let me tell you something… I believe that each and every…

Pineapple Smoothie
Welp, we are back to more “normal” weather for this time of year. Back down to the low 50s instead of the low 80s. It was SO nice having a taste of the warm weather though. I mean the fact that we have had little to no snow this season? Kinda makes me want to cry, but I would much rather it be nice outside than have it be cold with no snow. I know sounds weird right? But… What is the fun of it being super cold out if there is no snow to play in? I would much rather there be pretty snow to look at or play…

Definitely recipes that anyone can cook and have a great comforting and flavorful result! Stay tuned… So lately I have been telling you guys that I have to get more protein into my diet. I have gotten SO bad about…

Sautéed Tilapia Tacos
Finally!! We got some snow! All of your haters out there that don’t like the snow, I am very sorry, but I am SO happy about it. We haven’t gotten a lick of snow since that terrible storm the Northeast had in October. I mean really, I move to the Northeast and I get NO SNOW??! Grrr… Very happy to see the white dusting on the ground this AM when I got out of bed at 5:45am. 🙂 Remember when you were younger and how you used to jump out of bed to check at your window to see if you just might have a snowday? That is how I…

The Cupcakery in St. Louis
When I was in St. Louis during the Christmas holiday I was introduced to The Cupcakery/Crave The Cup. Patrick’s sister, Kari, and her friends seem to have made going to this particular bakery a tradition whenever they are in town visiting from college. I think I rather like that tradition and I will tell you why… Normally when I go to bakery, I am very disappointed in the cupcakes. Come on, admit it…you have been there. You feel my pain. They look sooooo pretty and then it is such a let down when you take your first bite. I normally end up yelling with yuckie pieces of dry cupcake falling…

Top 9 of 2011!
I am TOTALLY copying right now from Kita at Pass the Sushi. Don’t worry, don’t worry…I asked her for her permission to copy her very cute idea for the Top 11 of 2011. She is always coming up with the best ideas! If you haven’t checked her out before, GO DO IT NOW! She is so creative and a real inspiration to anyone who wants something new and totally out of the box. Instead of doing the Top 11 like Kita did, I thought in respect to Foodbuzz that I would my Top 9 of 2011. It is always so exciting going to the Top 9 everyday to see who…

Celebrate with Cranberry Champagne
Christmas is just around the corner folks! I mean think about it. Christmas is 12 days (thanks Becci 😉 ) from now. 12 days! Holy moly…I have just about everything done. I worked on my Christmas cards the other day, I just need to get them stamped and signed and sent. CHECK! Christmas gifts, except for a few here and there things are done and wrapped. CHECK! Oh! Btdubs, I have a story for you all. My mom was telling me about going to the grocery store to get some things for her Christmas party she just had. As she was parking, she sat in her car a few minutes…

Rainbow Sprinkle Donuts
I did it!! People I did it! Finally, I have been talking for months and months to so many of you about how I wanted to make donuts and I finally did it! Thank goodness I made them before the hurricane came through my town though. We have been without power now for 3 days. Which means, no cooking and no showering :-(. My sweet lion was nice enough to let me come over and get a shower in yesterday…thank goodness for that! This is what it looked like on either end of the street I live on…trees are down everywhere in the Northeast. From the sounds of it, the…
