    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…

    Carrot Bread

I have friends that are fans of The Bachelor and other reality TV shows like that. I have really never gotten into them. To tell you the…

Maybe go see the Christmas tree in Rockefeller center and have a nice fancy dinner in the big apple. If you haven’t ever seen the Christmas tree in NYC, you…

    Thank you again everyone for the Top 9 for my Spicy Asian Chicken Noodle Soup!! WOW! I am so happy that you all think my stuff is good enough to buzz. Made my day! Really πŸ˜€ I cannot tell you how glad I am that it is Friday today! I have had a hellish week. I just started a new job in the past 2 weeks, which is good because I get paid more, haha, but bad because I have WAY more work. I am still in that adjustment phase where it is new. I am sure some of you know how that goes. On a lighter note, I get…
