Homemade Salsa
Holy August Batman! Is anyone else’s garden exploding? Mine is! Every day I am bringing in more tomatoes, squash, peppers, herbs… I mean don’t get me wrong, I love having fresh vegetables and herbs right outside my door, but good lord. There could be a small farm stand at the end of my driveway and I could STILL have too much. Makes for a happy coworkers and lots of ideas for a food blogger 😉 All kidding aside I really do enjoy having a garden. It keeps me busy and I love knowing where my food comes from. Clearly anyone who knows me, knows that I am all about eating…

Baked Eggs
Well hello strangers!! I have been SO busy this month, my poor blog has gotten ignored. I have been keeping up with all of you though. So many delicious recipes this month from everything, bravo! The month of August has been TONS of traveling for me. Both work and pleasure. At the beginning of the month Patrick and I went to San Diego to attend his cousins wedding, which was so much fun. We were able to hang out in the San Diego and then La Jolla. It was a much needed break from working and we got to do so many fun things. We went to the San Diego…

Mini Tomato-Parmesan Bites
Did you all have fun with the Superbowl? In all honesty…I thought it was kind of boring. I wasn’t interested in either team in the game, although I have to say that I was routing for the niners, because I utterly dislike the Ravens (and no, just because my name is Raven, I don’t love the Ravens haha). The thing I was most looking forward to was Downtown Abbey… Any watchers out there?? Holy amazing stories that show has going on. This season has been craaaaayyy-craaaaayyy! I won’t say anything about anything in case any of you haven’t seen last night’s episode or any of the seasons for that matter.…

Tomato Salad
Holy tornadoes!! New England had all sorts of tornado touch downs last night. There was quite a bit of damage to a lot of Western Mass cities. Scary because I spend a lot of my time in Western Mass! I mean I have seen my fair share of tornadoes since I am from the Midwest, but never in New England! Everyone I know is alright but the damage is pretty extensive in like Springfield, Westfield, and West Springfield. Crazy stuff… Guess what?? It is Thursday already!! Woohoo! I have to say the week has been going rather fast for me. Work has been keeping me really busy. Next week I…

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…
