Mexican Chocolate Snickerdoodles
Happy New year!!! (Keep with me on this post, I am going to be talking mainly life with some cookie pictures mixed in. Recipe is at the bottom if you don’t want to read this entirely too long rambling post) 2015… Whew, 2014 was CRAY CRAY… Seriously, crazy. But amazing crazy 🙂 I have been kind of MIA recently in pretty much all aspects of my life. I haven’t really been paying attention to the blog, or social media (as much as usual), I took some time off of work at the end of the year… I actually kind of feel like a fish out of water! For the longest…

Paleo Cranberry Hand Pies
Hello again! So it is December 5th, which means that Christmas is only 20 days away! Holy sweet baby Jesus I am not even CLOSE to being prepared this year for this holiday! I am normally on top of things. I normally have gifts already wrapped and under the tree by this point, I am doing poor. I haven’t even bought A THING yet. Having a bit of a panic attack. These holidays have crept up on me this year. I feel like whenever Thanksgiving is a bit later in the month of November, Christmas always seems to come SO fast! Feel very unprepared right now. I am sure everything…

Cinnamon Crackle Cookies (& Wedding Stuff)
Holy cow… So, first off… HELLLLOOOO!!! Oh my gosh, it has been forever since I have posted. I missed you all so so much! It has been a crazy couple of months. But, I am married now! Can you believe it?! I can’t. It was quite possibly the most magical and happiest weekend of my life. Don’t get me wrong, it was stressful and hectic but it was amazing. We got to see SO many people we loved. So much family and so many friends. It was amazing! Not to mention the actual day of the wedding was so seamless. I cannot say enough about The Lord Thompson Manor and…

Pumpkin Spiced Latte
We are official one month away from my wedding. Well technically 29 days today… AH!! I would like to take a moment and thank caffeine for getting to me where I am now. Without it? I am not quite sure that I would be alive at this point. No joke. Something about Fall though…makes me happy. SO happy! I love leaves, the cool weather, the going back to school (even though I have been out of school for yeaaaars). Wasn’t going back to school so much fun! Well for like a week, but still the back to school shopping and all that jazz! I also love Halloween and Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving…

Peach Necatrine Butter
Oh, Hey…Â Â Â Â What’s up? Long time no blog. Can we chat for a second? I just wanted you to know it is nothing personal. I don’t hate you, or dislike you even. In fact, I care for you very much. It just, well… Things get in the way sometimes. Sometimes there’s this thing called life, that acts like a tornado and rips through your life and tosses around all your belongings, even that lamp you love that your soon to be hubby hates. It’s kinda crazy. And little annoying. Scratch that, SUPER annoying. My life has been a jumbled mess of decisions, wedding planning, renovations, work and just life. Napkins,…

Mojito
Sometimes a girl just needs a drink! You know those things called weekends where you take it easy and relax? I have no idea what that means…. I work hard on the weekends. I renovate, I work out, I clean, I mow the lawn, I meet with vendors for the wedding. Weekends are NOT for relaxing for me right now. Hope that changes after the wedding though! But for now, they are jammed packed. Full of getting things done, having meetings with vendors, trying to keep the yard up and renovating our guest bathroom (which will hopefully be the last thing we do until next year) and trying to have…

Zucchini Fritters
I am swimming in zucchini… So many zucchini! and since I have a person in my house that hates zucchini, I have to come up with creative ways to get it into dinners. Lucky for me, there is one night a week right now where I am on my own for dinner, so guess what my dinners have consisted of. Wow, how did you guess? Yup, zucchini. I will pretty much eat it any which way, but I wanted to try something different. Do you ever get like that? Where you know there are a million ways you have already had something, and they were all super delicious but you…

Zucchini Brownies w/ Dark Chocolate Frosting
It is August. AUGUST! I mean good lord, where has this year gone!? Granted, I have been pretty busy. But still. Patrick and I have been working like crazy people to try and get our house ready for people to come and stay in for the wedding that is 82 days away…eeeeeee! Yikers. One of our bathrooms is completely torn up at the moment. Down to the studs. Always something isn’t it? I am glad we are doing it, because quite frankly we had some SERIOUS electrical hazards behind our walls. In just about every room we have touched. Thank goodness my Dad and Patrick know to how fix these…
