Apple Muffins
This has been a sad week for me. I am sure that you all have heard about the things that have been happening at Penn State. It is almost impossible to turn on your computer or TV without seeing 10 stories about JoePa and his Nittany Lions. I am heartbroken. That is the easiest way to explain it. I am absolutely mortified and disgusted that a man like Sandusky was associated with Penn State. The crimes that he committed are completely unforgivable and I pray for the families and the boys affected; that they may someday be able to heal from this tragedy. My heart is also very heavy with…

Pumpkin Muffins
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 😀 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…

Peach Blueberry Muffins
I am SO glad it is the weekend. What a week! I know I know…I say that ALL the time. But this week…really, what a frekkin’ week. Between SUPER DUPER stress at work from being gone from traveling and interviewing for positions and then getting in an accident. Just need a break! So I cannot tell you how happy I am that I am getting some much needed rest. So nice to be able to not do anything sometimes you know? This weekend will be full of football watching (Go PSU, Chiefs, and Steelers!) and baking I am sure. I have this recipe I want to try that I am…

Rainbow Sprinkle Donuts
I did it!! People I did it! Finally, I have been talking for months and months to so many of you about how I wanted to make donuts and I finally did it! Thank goodness I made them before the hurricane came through my town though. We have been without power now for 3 days. Which means, no cooking and no showering :-(. My sweet lion was nice enough to let me come over and get a shower in yesterday…thank goodness for that! This is what it looked like on either end of the street I live on…trees are down everywhere in the Northeast. From the sounds of it, the…

Spiced Blueberry Muffins
Alllmost Friday…alllmost Friday…I am so ready for the weekend. For 2 reasons really, 1. well, it is the weekend and who doesn’t love the weekend? 2. I will get to see my lion (Patrick)! Travel has kept us apart this week, and this week has suuuure been a long one. I have a feeling the weeks are going to get even longer too because one of my co-workers gave his 2 weeks notice on Monday so that means more work for me. Yikes! I feel like I am already running at full throttle… In other news, I get to see one of my best friends Tamara in 2 weeks! I…

Welcome to my small little cube that I work in everyday…hehe, don’t laugh…you gotta have fun a little even when you are at work! 🙂 Or at least I try to, otherwise I would absolutely go crazy! I am a little bit of a dork and I like to say and do silly things. While I have to try and control that a little in the office…
