Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Who doesn’t love a chocolate chip cookie? I haven’t met one person, What’s not to like? Chocolate, cookie, dough… I always remember being SO excited coming home to warm cookies on the counter. I was SUPER picky when I was little, so I was lucky enough to have a mom that would always leave out the chocolate chips of a couple of the cookies. Every now and again she still does it, even though I’m 30 😉 There is always the great debate on how a cookie texture should be. I am on the side of chewy gooey on the inside with a crispy crunch on the outside. I am…

Roasted White Sweet Potato Fries
So this weekend we got some serious snow. Not as serious as some of the other storms we have had, but the rate at which it came down was the problem. I tend to like snow, but when you have to clean it up? Not so much fun anymore. I still think is is beautiful and since Patrick and I live in the woods, it makes for some pretty amazing views. We also tend to find some interesting prints in our snow after a big one, not sure if it is the neighbors cat or a animals from the woods. Probably a bit of both right? Speaking of critters… I…

2013 in Review & Some Resolutions (kinda)
Happy 2014!!! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and a great New Years Eve. It seemed to go by so very fast for me this year, I don’t know why. I suppose it is because I have a lot going on. But 2013 flew by me. I know this year is going to go even faster because I am getting married this year!! AHHHHHHH! I cannot believe it. It has almost been a year since I have been engaged. Seems so odd, but exciting at the same time. Patrick and I have been doing well on the planning front, well I have been doing well on the planning…

Thanksgiving & a Giveaway!
**Giveaway Closed** Hello all! Did you have a great Thanksgiving? Stuff yourself with far too much food? Spend time with loved ones or friends? My grandparents were in town this past week and it was really nice to spend some time with them. I was lucky enough to have the entire week off. GULP. Yes, the entire week. I know, unheard of. Living so far away from family, I don’t get to see them that often so it was nice to see them and catch up and spend a holiday with them. We spent time watching the Peanuts specials on ABC, which I just can never resist watching. Who doesn’t…

Dishversity Contest #giveaway
Hellloooo my dears! Are you ready for this post?! Get excited. I have teamed up with Dishversity as one of their first Food Bloggers to launch the site. What is Dishversity you say? Check out the video: Pretty cool right? I know a lot of my fellow food bloggers were upset when Foodbuzz changed their platform, because quite frankly the new Foodbuzz...stinks. This new website is a cross between Pinterest and Foodbuzz. It gives you the chance to see people’s photos but also to get the recipe and try it out yourself right from the website! The goal is to be more interactive with people when they try the recipe…
