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…

Great Food for Great Friends
Saturday of this past weekend was a fun day…I invited over some good friends and we had a great time eating, drinking, and just socializing. Once I knew that people were going to be coming over I decided I wanted to do something a little different for dinner than what I normally do. It is always great to break from the mold :-). I know a lot of people who tend to try and stick to what they know when they have guests coming over because normally, that makes for a guaranteed good meal. ::raises right hand:: I am very guilty of this! However, this time I wanted to step…

Beef & Broccoli
Once again the Northeast is supposed to be hit with a really bad snowstorm this afternoon into tomorrow. I seriously don’t know where we are going to put all the snow! haha, I think I may have prayed a littttle to hard for snow this year. After this storm we are going to have 4 feet of snow on the ground, which is awesome! You know what else it is awesome?! When someone cooks you dinner…there is just nothing like getting dinner made for you in my opinion. I mean, don’t get my wrong, I LOVE to cook but sometimes it is nice to have someone else do the work…

Steaks – Cast Iron Style
Happy Thursday! This week has been seriously nutty. Seems like it is so busy for me. Maybe it is because everyone is just getting back to work from the holidays, which always causes all sorts of pandemonium. Or at least it does at my office. I feel like getting back to my daily grind and schedule, I guess I didn’t realize how busy I really am. Craziness! I feel like there is just so much going on this month…so many birthday’s (including my own), traveling for work, young professional events, celebrations. GAH! All families have those months where all the birthday’s/anniversary’s/big news seems to happen all at once. January is…

The Mary Jane Special
Happy Monday Everyone! I would have to say that I am having a severe case of the Mondays today. Just not having a good day. Work has gotten frustrating again. Sometimes it is hard to put in all the work I do when I get no credit for it. My boss told me today that I have a 45 minute presentation to give to some sales people TOMORROW! No notice at all! Very frustrating. Anyways, this past weekend was Tino’s birthday as most of you know by the previous posts. His mom invited us over for dinner on Saturday night celebrate his birthday. We had a really nice time and…

Lattitude
🙂 I hope you all are having a great weekend so far! Tino’s birthday was a complete success…he loved the brownies and dinner was fantastic! Guess what?! He even won $100 from a scratch ticket that his Dad bought him, imagine that! So, I took Tino out to Latitude last night (see Birthday Brownies post to visit website). It was actually a really nice dinner. The restaurant was a modern place, very modern decor. It probably sat about 50 people in the main dining area and maybe 30 in the bar. Relatively a small place compared to most of the places that we have gone. Let’s start off with the…
