Prosciutto Arugula Pizza
Thanks for the Top 9 on my Tuna Salad Melt everyone! So glad everyone enjoyed it 🙂 Guess where I am going this week? Chicago! Any of you foodies from Chicago and know good places to eat? 😉 Patrick’s sister, Kari, is graduating from Northwestern (yea Big Ten!). Their whole family is bunch of smartiepants’. <–totally not a word She is graduating as an electrical engineer, smart girlie! Congrats to you Kari, we are all so proud of you 🙂 From what Patrick has said, she has all sorts of things planned for us so that will be good. I always love checking out cities I am not familiar with.…

Zesty Lemon Shrimp Pasta
Ok, so again this being grown up thing? When did this happen? The getting up and going to work thing is overrated. Yea yea, money is nice…but man, if I could just get an extra hour of sleep everyday that would be saaawweeet! To add the grownupness…Patrick and I stumbled across a house that we like and decided to go look at it. One of those things that we drive by it every day to work and decided “what the heck” why not go and check it out just for fun? Talk about your all time backfires. Guess who the dumb girl is that really likes this house is even…

Fishy Quinoa
Hello everyone…how are you this week? This week has been kinda gone fast for me so far. For a few reasons really… Patrick and I have been working to get him moved out of his apartment because we are moving in together :-), and when I say working, I mean…like we have barely done anything haha. He has to be out of his apartment by the 9th of February so we really need to get our a$$es in gear. We have done SOME, but not nearly as much as we need to. I am hoping this weekend that we can REALLLLLLY get to work and get some things moved. Wish…

Tomato & Mozzarella Bites
Well hello everyone! How are you doing today on this Thursday morning? It has been a weeee bit chilly this week. Yesterday morning we had a high of about 5ºF. Just a tad chilly. I am ready for snow! I am getting frustrated with this no snow thing. I love to snowboard and this no snow thing is REALLY cramping my style. Grrrrrr! Every year my parents throw a party of some sort. Ever since I can remember my family has been putting on parties with TONS of people. When we lived in Kansas City, their Christmas parties were epic. When I say epic…I mean, 100+ people fitting into a…

Chicken Pepper Pasta
Hello everyone! I have been MIA this week. Been feeling slightly under the weather and I missed 2 days of work this week which has made the rest of my week pretty hectic during the day. You know whenever you miss a few days of something you just feel out of sorts? That is how I feel this week. I am sure I will get back up to speed, but it is the catching up that is the brutal part. HOWEVER! In the coming weeks I have some really exciting news to share with all of you. I don’t mean to hold you all in suspense, but I just wanted…

Pan-Fried Tilapia with Tomato Basil Sauté
I finally broke down…and joined Twitter. Haha…I have had people telling me for like ever and day to join Twitter, so I finally did it. I have NO idea what I am doing or what I need to do or really even how to post anything but I am sure I will find out shortly. If you want to follow me I have a link at the top of my page, right next to the Facebook and RSS feed button. I least know how to do that much! Haha or you can follow me by clicking on my Follow button on Foodbuzz. Like I said…I have NO idea what I…

Fiery Flank Steak with Tomato Jam
Happy Friday everyone! I hope that you all have had a fabulous week and are gearing up for your weekends. May not be a long weekend like this past one, but still a weekend right? I have been doing my best to get caught up this week on lots of things from being away. Work, bills, friends, my blog! Man oh man…I feel like I haven’t been posting regularly and it feels so weird haha. I am sure some of you know what I am talking about. If you go on vacation or are away and you don’t post things or aren’t around to look at other recipes, it feels…

Herb-Crusted Chicken with Red Quinoa
Happy Good Friday everyone!! I have been kind of MIA this week…I apologize!! After the show this weekend, which went SO well, I have been trying to catch up. Work has been SO busy and the softball and kickball (yes I play kickball in an adult league, it is SO much fun!!) leagues are starting up. BUSY BUSY! I am so excited about this weekend…want to know why?! I GET TO EAT SWEETS!!! YAY!! 😀 (I am SO excited to be involved in Becky’s Bake Sale – Check it out on May 2nd). Another thing to celebrate…I know everyone always celebrates their 100th post on their blog…well this is my…

Garlic Fries
I have a love affair with garlic… We go together like peas and carrots, chocolate and peanut butter, lamb and tunafish! <—movie reference, I don’t really like lamb and tunafish together. Just want to make that clear haha. Seriously though, I have a really hard time not cooking with garlic. I am one of those people who can put a whole head of garlic into the oven, roast it, and then spread it on bread….YUMMMMMMIE! Or should I say NomNoms ;-). Or how about garlic and olive oil as a dipping sauce? ::kisses fingers:: MUAH! OR how about a fresh tomato salad with cucumber and garlic…. ::dreams of summer tomatoes::…

Crustless Spinach & Feta Quiche
I think I may finally be catching up on some sleep. I lived up to my promise and made it to bed by 10pm, which I have to admit I was really happy about. I feel a little more refreshed today and not as sluggish. THAT is a good thing because I have presentation to give at work today…I hate giving presentations when I don’t feel up for it, so I am very glad that my body is starting to feel a bit more normal today. Whew! Also, I have figured out a way to comment on blogs again. Not sure why my WordPress ID isn’t working but I am…

Almond Crusted Chicken
Happy Wednesday everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your start to your week. We have been having a slight glimpse into spring here in Connecticut, but it appears that it is going to change back to rather bitter cold by tomorrow :-(. As you all know I love snow and the cold, but there comes a time right around March that my body flips a switch and says “OK, I am done, ready for some warm weather and flip flops now!”. I really don’t think I could live in a place where the seasons don’t change, I think I would go through withdrawal. I enjoy having that switch of cold…

Guacamole
I love avocados! When I say “love” I mean L-O-V-E!! I took a trip to Mexico about a year ago with some friends and my boyfriend…I am not joking you when I say I ate guacamole or something with avocado in it at every meal! I adore it…I am one of those people who can just slice an avocado and eat it on bread…YUM! Or should I say NomNoms 😉 Anyways, this weekend my boyfriend’s Mom invited us over to dinner. She was making beef burritos and I hate going to someone’s house without bringing something. So, I told her I would make some guacamole once I got there (and…
