Cake Batter Blondies
Hello new week! Almost the end of August already can you believe it? I can hardly. Seems like this summer is FLYING by. Every week seems to come and go quicker and quicker. I am looking forward to the Fall though. I love the weather and the leaves and all that. The temperature in the Fall is my favorite. Where you can wear shorts and a sweater. Love it. Today I am going to the dentist again about my teeth and I have to admit I am a little nervous. I hope that everything goes smoothly and that there aren’t anymore hiccups. I have had enough excitement with my teeth…

Dark Chocolate Banana Muffins
Good morning everyone! How are you today? I have to admit I am a little tired this AM. Auditions for the dance company that I dance with were last night. Classes and auditions started at 8pm and we got done around 11pm. 3 hours doesn’t seem like a lot until you are dancing and sweating and getting worn out. I have a couple nice bruises to prove I worked hard! haha Anyways, we had a great turn out. I am very excited to see what this new year of dance brings fro Eclipse. As many of you know, I am a Penn State fan. I went to Penn State. I…

Banana Spice Muffins
Man, what a tornado these past few weeks have been. Most of you know that Patrick and I have been working to get ourselves our first house. We had our home inspection on Monday afternoon. Overall things went pretty well, here and there things that have to be taken care of…but that is a house right? Our major concern was that the inspector said that the roof needed to be replaced. Knowing that the seller was going to be paying all the closing costs, we knew this was going to be a battle. We thought we would start at the beginning and send in a unsatisfactory inspection form to the…

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…

Pinwheel Cookies
OK so I have been totally MIA lately. BUT there is a good reason for it. Well kinda…haha The place I work has been going through a new system called SAP. OH.MY.GOSH. I had no idea how much this would absolutely stop work in its tracks but has it ever. I mean I literally spend all day spinning my tires on one simple thing. It is amazing to me! The problem is the place I work we are soooo very centered on doing A LOT of transactions in a month and we can’t do that much volume anymore with this new system. Really making things stressful and hard to complete…

Spicy Louisiana Tilapia Fillets with Sautéed Veggie Relish
I am here to inform you that Kristin’s wedding was a blast! She was just the prettiest bride and everything seemed to go so very smoothly for her. I am so happy for her! 😀 Patrick and I had a great time! We definitely enjoyed all the food and danced the entire night which is always a good time. I promised that I would show a picture of my dress so here it is! I personally think the best part of my outfit was my hair…I went to get it done at my salon for the first time for a wedding. I NEVER do that, don’t ask why because I…

Peach and Feta Chicken Pizza
Hello my foodie friends! How are you this Thursday morning? I am certainly doing better than I was yesterday. I dropped my car off at a shop to get repaired after my accident that I had this week. What a bummer! I am glad that my car will be getting fixed though. I pretty much love my car (2008 Ford Escape XLT V6, vroom vroom!) so having it get fixed is going to be the highlight of my week next week. It is always so hard to not have a car you know? I am lucky that I have an extra car that I can drive around. I had a…

Chocolate Shortbread Cookies
What a week!! I just got back from traveling for work last night and I am SO exhausted. I went to West Virginia and Virginia to see some customers and try and tell them about my company’s new products. Let me tell you…I will NEVER go to West Virginia again unless I am forced. You need a passport to go down there! No lie, I thought I was stepping into the movie Deliverance. You know with the creepy kid playing the bango?? GAH! So weird haha. Sorry for anyone who lives in West Virigina, but man the place I was in I will never go back to haha. Good news…

Fruit and Oat Bars
I am off and running to Virginia and West Virginia this rainy week for work. Lots of customers to see and try to sell things to haha. It was soooooo nice to have a long weekend! I had a great time relaxing and visiting with friends. Thanks Nicole for the great Petro Labor Day Party! We missed you Mich! 🙁 Always good to have a long weekend, but it always feels like they go faster than the normal weekends. AmIRight? I am already looking forward to this weekend where I am going to Penn State to visit with Tamara and show Patrick around. Getting more and more excited about it…
