Birthday and Save the Tatas cupcakes!
Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! The weather here was so fabulous this weekend. A little bit on the cooler side, but overall extremely nice. I love fall weekends! This past weekend one of my bf’s friends threw a surprise party for his wife’s 30th birthday. I told him that I would bring cupcakes but I wanted to make them a little more personal for her because she is such a sweet girl. So I asked her husband what her favorite color was. He found out for me and told me it was pink. Perfect! Not only was I so excited to make pink cupcakes but it is also…

CT Wine Trail
I had an absolutely fabulous weekend! The weather was gorgeous, I was celebrating my 2 year anniversary with my bf (9/11), my best friend turned 25 (Happy Birthday Chrissy!!), AND I went on the Connecticut Wine Trail. I didn’t want the weekend to end at all!!! We have had such HOT weather this summer that it was so nice to have a mild sunny day. I couldn’t have asked for a better day if I tried. Here is the Wine Trail below: If you click on it, it will take you to the website. The Wineries that my bf and I visited were the following: Hopkins Vineyard, New Preston CT…

BBQ!
Can you believe that August is almost over?! I can’t!! This summer has absolutely FLOWN by me. I can’t believe that kids (in general, not my own haha) are going back to school and that in a few weeks the leaves will be changing on the trees! I love Fall though! I love, love, love it! I love the leaves and the cooler weather but not cold weather. We get some pretty cold winters here in the Northeast. I really think that I love Fall so much because of the feeling I get around that time of year. When I was younger, I was always getting ready to go back…

To dine or Not to dine
I have to admit…sometimes it is nice to dine out! I swear sometimes even a mediocre meal can be fabulous when you dine out, JUST because you aren’t the one making it, hehe ;-). Honestly, I have been blessed in my dining experiences…I can probably count on one hand the amount of times I was less than satisfied with a meal I had out on the town. So, I can’t complain. Just recently I went to a restaurant in Cape Cod (Provincetown) that was really good AND had a really nice dining setting. It was called Pepe’s Wharf Restaurant and had a really nice menu (and by nice – I…

Family, Friends, & Fabulous Food
I love cooking for people. I don’t think there is anything better than when you have people you love around you enjoying a great meal. My parents hosted a get together for some close family friends who came to visit from PA. Our visitors used to be our neighbors when we lived in PA. When I was a teenager, I babysat their children (2 boys) for spending money in high school (and middle school too I believe). Let me tell you, there is nothing in the world that will make you feel older than seeing someone you used to change diapers for be, I don’t know, give or take, a…

Food!
Soooooo…since this is my first post I figured I would start out with the good stuff..FOOD I just got back from Cape Cod and made some delicious meals that I wanted to share with everyone!! I love bread…and more that just any kind of bread… I love bread dipped in olive oil. YUM! Is there anything better?? I say there is NOT! I also enjoy vegetables. ALL kinds of vegetables made in all sorts of different ways… Now, the finished meal, I must say was fantastic. Very light but also at the same time very filling…and extremely delicious! Steak to finish off the meal! Enjoy all the pictures of good…
