{{Guest Post}} Lemony Orzo Salad w/ Grilled Summer Squash with Liv Life
Good Morning all!! Today marks the first post in my “Wedding Series” Guest Posts. I need to come up with a clever name for this series. What do you think? I have asked some of my most favorite bloggers to help me out while Patrick and I get ready for the wedding. With so many things going on, I am having a hard time finding the time to be able to pay attention to my beloved blog here. So many people were willing o be a part of the guest posts and I am so excited for you all to see and meet new people! Let’s get started shall we?…

Peanut Butter Cookies {Gluten Free}
I am sharing a Peanut Butter Cookie today. Do I have your attention? If you are anything like me, I definitely do. I love Peanut Butter more than I could possibly say. Literally, I think I could eat it out of the jar with a spoon…every.single.day. and be completely happy. When I was younger, my Mom used to babysit as her profession so she always got those huge 5lb drums of Peter Pan peanut butter that you get at Sams, BJs or Costco, because she was always feeding 10 kids peanut butter. Because, let’s be honest…most kids are picky but they love peanut butter. I used to take those huge…

Sweet Potato Chips
Ok, so it has literally been a month since I have posted….whatttt the heck!? I apologize my dear friends, my priorities have changed so much this past year. I adore my little blog here, but with things that are happening in my life, I am finding it hard to to have to time post and share my recipes. Getting married is really a full time job by itself, not to mention the actual job that I have that I work 8 hours at and then try to get some gym time in and also you know…sleep and renovate my home. Sheesh. Who knew? I still love to cook and I…

Avocado Fries with Avocado Dipping Sauce
Ok. I am not sure what else to say about this post, but it is full of green. Not the kind you put in your wallet (more like the kind that is always leaving my wallet). No, not the kind you walk on in the summer. Nah, not St. Patty’s day beer or broccoli. Avocado my friends. Avocado. Can you believe that when I was younger that I actually didn’t even like avocado? ::audience gasps:: Tis true, food bats. Tis True. My love of avocado began in high school when I lived in the Philly area. My Grandad was visiting my family rather regularly because he had a shop associated…

Pan-Seared Scallops with Cauliflower “Mash”
Do you like home renovation projects? Patrick and I are constantly working on our house. There is a sense of satisfaction when you finish and it is something you have worked on and it actually looks nice! Granted my parents have been nice enough to show us the ropes on many, many, MANY home improvement tricks. I have watched my parents flip houses for years and have been a part of many of them. So I suppose it is only natural that I am wanting to do the same thing with my own. I am pretty sure Patrick thinks I am nuts, but he seems to be enjoying the process…

Turkey Burgers with Cranberry-Apple Relish
Happy Hump Day! I have a confession… With the wedding coming up, still in full force renovating Patrick’s and my home, traveling…I am just distracted. My life has been a bit of a whirl wind lately and because of that I have had to take a step back from things to try and remain sane. Having to not be involved in some of the things that I love to do! Which is really hard for me. Like this little blog here. She has gotten neglected. Not because I don’t love her so, I do! It’s just. My priorities have shifted a bit. Sheesh, why didn’t someone tell me that Weddings…

St. Patty’s Green Mint Smoothie
♣ Happy St. Patty’s Day! ♣ Hope everything is having a lovely St. Patty’s Day so far! Are you doing anything special? Celebrating in any special way? I really haven’t done much celebrating for St. Patty’s Day since I was in college, which is a-ok with me. Patrick and I are off to St. Louis this weekend for a wedding. Which should be great! His birthday is on the 19th so I am glad we are going to be able to go and celebrate with his family and friends. I am sharing a smoothie today. I have been on a smoothie kick lately! I have had so many of them! They…

Maple Date Bars
Guess what? This weekend is my birthday!! I am going to be 29 years old. I can hardly even believe it! Almost 30. And you know what? That is okay. I am alright with getting older. I don’t see getting older as a bad thing. I like to look back into my years and see what I have accomplished and what I have learned. Since I am almost 30 I have looked back over the past 9 years. I have had some MAJOR stuff happen. My 20s: I graduated from one of the best public colleges, Penn State University and earned a degree from the Smeal College of Business, which…

Double Chocolate Protein Bars
Ok, so these…are amazing. I totally stole the idea from Laura & Kammie from this post Red Velvet Protein Bars. I am always looking for new ways to make protein filled snacks. I have been working out a lot lately and I have been really loving it, but I have learned that my body NEEDS protein. That was a large problem before for me with not seeing any results and not seeing inches go away. Once I started eating more lean protein? The results were astonishing. So clearly I am going to continue with that trend and eat lots and lots of protein. But, you know there is only so…
