Raw Key Lime Tartlets
I can barely contain my excitement for Teddy! Who is Teddy you ask? My puppy! My Bernese Mountain Dog that Patrick and I are picking up on Saturday. All of you who follow me in Instagram and Facebook have watched the obscene display of “puppy nesting” I have been having. Is that even a thing? If not, apparently I am starting it. We have bought so much stuff for this dog and we don’t even have him yet! haha I literally feel like I am a kid waiting for Christmas morning 😀 Patrick and I have wanted a dog for so long, I mean SO long, but it never made…

{{GUEST POST}} Frozen Key Lime Margarita Squares w/ Dinners, Dishes and Desserts
Hello Hello Friends! I have another great treat for you today! Erin from Dinners, Dishes and Desserts has come for a visit and I am so excited! Erin is such a doll and I am so glad I could be her host today. She is always making up the best recipes and she always has such sweet things to say. We have a long history of being cooking buddies with these blogs we have so I am so glad that I am able to share her with you. Not to mention did you see what she made?! I would eat a whole dozen of those Margarita Squares myself! 😉 *******************************************************************************************************…

Rich Chocolate Brownies (No Bake)
I was thinking the other day… Since I have this blog and I love to cook but I am also planning a wedding, why don’t I try and intermingle the two while this is all going on? Try and use it as an online journal of sorts, get my feelings out but also show you all what I have been up to? Sound like a deal? I know I am offering myself for all of your opinions, but you know what? I get that no matter what. So bring them on! Right now the big thing that Patrick and I are deciding on are invitations. We have so many people…

Chocolate Caramel Brownies
What a weekend! Eclipse Dance Company was all over the place! Our big event, among others this weekend, was the International Festival of Arts and Ideas. We had a 30Â minute piece that we put on for the festival and it went really well. 30 minutes of dancing straight through, btdubs. No stopping. Thirty.Minutes.Straight.Through. Whew! It was a warm day as well and the performance was on an outside stage, so it was interesting to say the least. With all of the extra rehearsals we have been pulling this month, 2 sometimes 3 times a week from 9pm-midnight. It has been a very tense and stressful month, but we made…

Vanilla Cupcakes
Another year has come and gone. Strange how fast time goes isn’t it? I cannot believe that tomorrow I am turning 28. 28! I don’t feel twenty.eight. OK…maybe sometimes I feel 28. My body definitely feels different from now then it did when I was 18 that is for sure. It is harder to get out of bed, not like wake up early. I get up at 5am almost every day. But like STEP out of bed ::CRACCCKKKK:: I sound like I am about 60 years old, however the hip cracking thing deeply stems from being a dancer. Seriously…ask a dancer about cracking their hips. Guarantee they love it haha.…

Pumpkin Pie Cake with Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting
OK, so first off this day has been like the day from absolute hell. GAH! Work is driving me absolutely bonkers. I feel like I keep spinning my tires and doing all this work for people and then I get trampled on. Ever have those weeks? Can’t seem to get anything done, or do anything the way people want to see it. I am one of those people that NEVER half asses anything. I don’t have the ability to. It must be in my blood or something, because I will literally not be able to sleep at night if I don’t do something to my full ability. Anyways, I am…

Raspberry Shortcake…Well, sort of.
I have a confession… I am totally excited about Friday! Why you ask?? Well, because a band named Hot Lunch is playing at a bar named Maximum Capacity in Chicopee, Mass. Did you just say hot lunch? YES I DID! It is a local band that I come to know and love. They however have not had a show in a very long time so I am so excited to go out and support them this Friday. I even talked to 3 of the band members on this past Saturday putting in my requests for their playlist, haha. I’ll be the one down in front dancing around singing at the…

Nutella Banana Turnovers
I made it! 14 days on the detox and I made it. WHEW! What an experience that was! Thanks again to all of you out there that supported me the whole time. It was so very much appreciated, I cannot even express my gratitude. Although the detox is over there are some things that I learned from it that I really feel like I am going to keep with me. The eating small meals every few hours I think I am going to stick with. That really helped my body stay alert and full of energy, which I really liked. Another thing I want to keep doing is eating breakfast!…

Dinner with Mom & Dad
Sheesh what a week this has been already! Busy busy! I woke up this morning to the pitter patter of rain on my windows and I just did NOT want to get out of bed. It has been a stressful week at work which made we want to stay in bed even more, haha. One of my co-workers retired last week and that has made for some additional work on my plate. I am hoping that things will even out in the coming months, but for now it does not seem to be slowing down. This past weekend I spent some time with my parents and of course you know…
