Apple Upside Down Cake
I did it!! I completed my first race! WOOO!! The race I participated in was called the Tavern Trot and all the proceeds went to Alex’s Lemonade Stand, which I just love. Anything I can do to help out kids with cancer, or anyone with cancer I am all about it. It was actually a 3.5 mile race. I thought it was a 5k, but apparently it was a little farther. So here were my results: Ran 3.5 miles in 33:06 (9:28 pace) 16th out of 81 in my age group 66th out of 409 for females I am so proud of myself!!!!! This is the one time that I…

Pineapple Smoothie
Welp, we are back to more “normal” weather for this time of year. Back down to the low 50s instead of the low 80s. It was SO nice having a taste of the warm weather though. I mean the fact that we have had little to no snow this season? Kinda makes me want to cry, but I would much rather it be nice outside than have it be cold with no snow. I know sounds weird right? But… What is the fun of it being super cold out if there is no snow to play in? I would much rather there be pretty snow to look at or play…

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…

Ratatouille Pizza
Happy Monday all! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. The weather here was so gorgeous, I think Spring may finally be upon us. It was sunny and 70 both days of the weekend and it was truly glorious. Now in true Spring tradition it is supposed to rain the *entire* week :-(. Ah well, at least the weekend was nice and now that I have to be stuck inside for work it will be rainy. Don’t forget to stop by Becky’ s Bake Sale today and check out all the goodies that she has. Everything looks SOOOO yummy!!! Head on over and check it out and make a…

Triple Berry Scones
Just wanted to let you all know that the big presentation went really well on Wednesday. The staff seemed to be really impressed overall which makes me really happy. A lot of really big names in my company in that meeting, which is always a good thing right? Getting noticed by the big boys on campus. 😉 The big show is this weekend for Eclipse! I am really excited about it! Jenn, the director, has done such a great job with building the choreography and the concept of the show. The show is based on the idea that people are so connected to technology that they sometimes lack real human…

Splendid Spiced Strawberry Muffins
Happy Monday The show for the dancing company I have been dancing with is coming up this Sunday so I might be slightly MIA here and there. Try and excuse my absence and general lack of focus this week. I promise I’ll be back to my Ravie Nom Noms self soon. We all know I have been on a muffin kick lately because of my giving up “desserts/sweets” for Lent. The following muffin was something I had been craving for some reason. Strawberries make me think of summer and since it is just now acting like it is spring outside, I wanted to make something that reminded me that summer…

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…

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
I woke up this morning to a cold 26 degrees here in New England. I am craving spring. I am ready for the warmer weather to be here and for it to be sunny. Ready to be able to go outside and walk around at lunch time at work. I love the changing of the seasons but I am so ready for the warmer weather. This has been an especially rough winter so I am looking forward to the nice and bright sun! In the spirit of spring I wanted to make a muffin that made me feel like it was here, since clearly it is not yet. Whenever I…

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…

Sugar Spot Banana Cranberry Muffins
OK so…for some reason I cannot comment on ANYONE’S blog haha. I am trying to post things on Foodbuzz on all your posts. Sorry fellow foodies! I feel bad but for some reason I am just not able to comment. Big bummer because there is so many great recipes out there that I totally wanna compliment too! Grr…hopefully the cyber world gets itself figured out! I am seriously struggling with the time change! I thought it would be much easier for me to get used to, but I am having a hard time. Yesterday was really tough because it felt like I was getting up at 3am, when it was…

I wanted to make sure to get them painted before my trip to California…whaddya think? Greeeeeeen! Guess what else I am excited about?! I am leaving for California today!! :-D. Yay!!!
