Candy Corn Cookies
BOO! Did I scare you? Happy Halloween friends! Well, the day before, but all the same. I have been on a little bit of a hiatus because I started a new job and I am trying to get my new schedule figured out. Different hours, long hours, which is good. I an really enjoying the challenge, but it takes some time getting used it. I try to practice having patience with myself with getting back into my routines, but let’s be honest… I don’t really possess patience 😛 It was time for a move in my old job, not much room for growth and now I am with a company…

Sweet Potato Chips
Ok, so it has literally been a month since I have posted….whatttt the heck!? I apologize my dear friends, my priorities have changed so much this past year. I adore my little blog here, but with things that are happening in my life, I am finding it hard to to have to time post and share my recipes. Getting married is really a full time job by itself, not to mention the actual job that I have that I work 8 hours at and then try to get some gym time in and also you know…sleep and renovate my home. Sheesh. Who knew? I still love to cook and I…

Rosemary Roasted Almonds
Good Monday Morning. Did you all have a nice weekend? Mine started off with me buying a wedding dress! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! That’s right, this is getting reallllllly real now. My mom and I went to the bridal shop on Friday already having an idea of which dresses to choose from. We had narrowed it down to 2 after my 2nd visit to the shop. I did my hair nicely and had some nice earrings on and actually wore high heels as to get a better idea of what the dress would look like. We went in open minded and I had one other dress I wanted to try but we were…

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…

Dishversity Contest #giveaway
Hellloooo my dears! Are you ready for this post?! Get excited. I have teamed up with Dishversity as one of their first Food Bloggers to launch the site. What is Dishversity you say? Check out the video: Pretty cool right? I know a lot of my fellow food bloggers were upset when Foodbuzz changed their platform, because quite frankly the new Foodbuzz...stinks. This new website is a cross between Pinterest and Foodbuzz. It gives you the chance to see people’s photos but also to get the recipe and try it out yourself right from the website! The goal is to be more interactive with people when they try the recipe…

Portugal!
So it is official, I will be in Portugal in a day! AHHH! Who is excited?! This girl! Needless to say I will not be posting next week because I will be traveling and most likely won’t have much internet access (thank goodness). I am needing this break though. Looking forward to the time to relax and just kind of do what I want when I want. Patrick and I don’t have any hard set plans, we are just going to go and see what we can see. We have gotten some suggestions from friends and co-workers so we have a list of places to hit and if we hit…

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.…

ABQ
Hello my dears! How have you been!?? How was your Labor Day? Mine was spent hiking up the Sandia Peak, but more on that later. I just wanted to do a quick post and let you know that I am alive. I haven’t posted in a while and that isn’t because I haven’t wanted to. Things have just been a little craaaazy lately. Again, no food this time, but that is alright. We are taking a break from the food posts for 2 weeks and then we will be right back in them next week. No worries, fellow foodies. BUT, I thought you all might enjoy some pictures of Albuquerque.…

A Post For My Foodies
Dear Fellow Foodie Friends, This is a letter for all lovers of food, food bloggers, and foodies alike. Thank you! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all of your amazing features, adventures and recipes that you share with the blogging world everyday. My life would certainly not be the same without you. There is so much buzz (no pun intended 😉 ) about whether or not we food bloggers are taking value away from the food industry. Whether or not we are making a laughing stock of what it is to be a food writer. Let me tell you something… I believe that each and every…

Oatmeal with Fruit Compote
I am back! First off, when I woke up this morning it felt like it was 3am. That was not fun haha. I found that going out to California I really adjusted well to the time difference, but the coming back to CT? The time change is being quite a pain. I thought that I would be able to adjust just as easily…not so much. 😛 The weather in California was so glorious…I cannot even tell you how great of a break it was to have some actual sunshine that had warmth to it. It was in the high 60s, low 70s the whole time I was in California and…
