Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus
Well hellloooo there! I hope your holidays have been filled with lots of love and cheer thus far. Mine have been quiet. Spent the majority of my time with my folks. Patrick is in St. Louis visiting family. The past few days have been a chance for me to reflect on the year and also to just sit back and relax. I have had the past week off on vacation. My office has had a mandatory shutdown on holiday weeks this year. Which is good and bad I suppose. It has been nice to be able to sleep in and catch up on some reading. Santa brought my all I…

Quiche Bites
Hello Hello! Happy Thursday! This week has FLOWN by, actually…this entire month has flown by. I have been absent a lot of the month due to all the events that have been happening. This past weekend Patrick and I went to NYC to get our engagement pictures taken by my friend Kate Neal. Follow her on Facebook or Instagram. She is amazing! We had such a nice time, she and John (her hubby) made us feel SO at ease. She showed us a few of the shots while we were taking them, but she did send us one that I wanted to share with you all. How cute is that?!…

“Cookie Dough” Bites
Good Morning! 🙂 Happy Monday morning to you all. This has been a busy month so far, whew! It isn’t slowing down at all! Patrick’s parents were just here for a visit for a few days, so we did a lot of sight seeing and trying to entertain them and keep them happy. I am glad that Patrick got to see his parents 🙂 This week are our engagement photos! So nervous. I know that our photographer is going to be amazing and her pictures are outstanding I have just never had a photo shoot that was primarily based around me and one other person. Certainly going to be interesting!…

Cheesecake Filled Strawberries
This is about how I feel today… It has been one of those weeks where I am struggling to get my normal tasks done. More so today than normal. Do you have those days? Sometimes all I want to do is curl up with one of these: I love fall time. I cannot wait for leaves and cool mornings and warm days. It is my favorite. Also, in October we will have exactly one year until the wedding. Oh man…I am totally not going to freak out. I do have a recipe to share with you but I wanted to share a story first. This picture below is something that…

Lemon Zucchini Muffins
My Blog is turning 3 today!! Can you believe that?! I cannot believe that I have been blogging for 3 years. So many recipes, so many new friends, so many opportunities. I would never have thought 3 years ago that the blog would become such a big part of my life but it has. People that I never would have thought of paying attention to things like a food blog, talk to me about my recipes or about the content that I write about. Just wow! Throughout the 3 years I have been amazed at the interest, support and overall love I have gotten with this blog. I wanted to…

Squash Croquettes
Happy Friday!!! Who else is excited that it is Friday? This week has been unusually busy for me at work, not to mention my parents and Patrick have been traveling so I am left with all the chores at 2 houses…. ::blank look:: I am worn out haha. Tonight is going to be me, sitting on my ass in front of the television doing nothing. Granted I will probably cook something prior to that. Shocking. I know. Not really sure what I am going to make or what I am going to watch, but it is going to happen. Gizzy (Mr. BunBun) are gonna have a nice and relaxing night.…

Hello my dears! It has been a while! I have been trying to catch up on all your yummy posts. You guys have been making some NomNom-tastic stuff! KUDOS! I am getting settled down from my way too busy for comfort week last week. Things have been so out of the ordinary for me right now. Trying to stay as positive as humanly possible! Sometimes you get so busy that you forget to take time for yourself. This weekend was ALL about taking it easy and just relaxing.

Don’t holiday weekends always seem to fly by quicker than regular weekends? I swear every time there is a holiday week I feel like the time just FLIES by. I had a fabulous holiday weekend!

Chunky Cod Fish Fingers
::sings:: Give me that filet’o’fish, Give me that Fish! What if it were you, hanging up on this wall… If you all are wondering what the heck I am singing there, that would be the old Mcdonald’s filet of fish sandwich jingle that they played last year (or was it 2 years ago??), that used to get stuck in my head for daaaayyysss. If you don’t know what I am talking about, google that sh*t and I promise you the YouTube video will come up if you search “Filet’o’Fish”. I used to drive one of my coworkers crazy because I would sing it to him all the time haha, sorry…

Homemade Tortilla Chips
You know what I love? Chips and salsa. I am one of those people who could munch on chips, salsa, and guacamole all summer long. I went to Mexico a few years ago and let me tell you, I think I ate about 17 lbs of guacamole in a week. Not kidding. I ate it with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Any time I could get away with it I was eating it…it is good for you right?? haha It is tough right now because avocados are really not all that good this time a year in New England. However, I did have salsa that I made in the summer that…
