Smashed Roasting Potatoes
Whew! It’s Friday!! Thanks goodness too! This week has been sort of a weird one for me. Let me explain… On Tuesday, I started feeling a little strange towards the end of the day. Didn’t think much of it, my allergies have been bothering me quite a lot. I went and mowed at our pretty house because well, all the rain in New England made the weeds in my yard feel like they needed to grow about 4 feet. While I was mowing a cop drove up to our house asking me if I had seen anything suspicious because some suspects had been rummaging through mail on my street! #WHATTHEHELL??…

Spicy Roasted Tomato Soup
Who loves summer? Who loves tomatoes in the summer? ::raises hand:: Tomatoes from the garden have to be one of the most delicious things. I don’t think it gets much better. Today I am stealing someone’s recipe. Well, maybe not stealing, but using and enjoying immensely. Steph over at Steph’s Bite by Bite made this amazing Roasted Tomato Basil Soup, and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to try it. Not only am I a HUGE tomato fan fanatic, but I also have to stick to rather soft food at the moment. I knew this would be a winner. I changed up the recipe just a…

SweetBurgers with Chipotle Cilantro Cream
We are going to start off today with some frustration and then get to the excitement, sound good? OK, so I am CONFUSED!! What the heck Facebook? The timeline feature is really neat to look at, but how the heck do I get it to do what I want for my RavieNomNoms Fanpage? I can’t get any of my links to come up just under my cover picture. Maybe it has something to do with the amount of people you have liking your page and that gives you different options? As, I am looking through book of faces that is all I can tell. Some people are able to put…

Stuffed Red Peppers
Thank you all for the Top 9 today! So nice of you all to have buzzed my post for my mom with the Cinnamon Chip Scones. 🙂 The Lenten season has begun…I have always taken part in Lent. Something my family and I have been doing ever since I can remember. Do you give anything up for Lent? I know a lot of people say they take Sundays “off” during Lent so they can indulge in that they gave up, I am not one of those people. I do stay away from meat on Fridays during Lent, but then again I don’t eat a lot of meat to begin with.…

Black Bean Burgers
The moving is still going on. We have made some major headway and I am glad to report that we will be finishing up this weekend! WOOT! Saturday morning we have a crew of guys coming over to help with the really big furniture, which will make this entire process a lot easier. With moving as much as I have in my life, I have gotten pretty good at boxing and moving things…but those big pieces of furniture they are a b*tch to move! One word of advice if you ever do move, use a moving company. I know it is pricey but I promise it will be worth it…

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…

Cider and Herb Pork
How is everyone doing this AM? Hopefully well. I am SO glad it is Friday. Although I cannot believe that it is the 9th of December! Yowza! Has anyone noticed anything different about my blog? It has been a little colder since the start of December…I wonder if that is because of the weather (*ahem can you see the snow?). I am amazed at how quickly time flies. I have gotten all of my Christmas shopping done (besides the day I go shopping with my Dad for my Mom, I have always been the one designated as Dad’s Christmas shopping partner because I help him pick out the good stuff…

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…

Caprese Wraps
Whenever things are rough in my life I really try and focus on the good. That is all you can do right? If all you do is focus on the negative (which I am guilty of sometimes, I’ll admit) you will end up feeling hopeless and completely powerless to do anything to make the negative go away. So that is what I have been trying to do for the past few days, focus on the POSITIVE! I have a fantastic boyfriend (score) I have a family who loves me <3 I have a the cutest darn bunny who has the best personality (come on, how cute is he?) I have…
