Spicy Chipotle Grilled Shrimp with Pineapple
What a perfect weekend! It was sunny and there was lots celebrating! Tino’s grandmother turned 95 this weekend!! How amazing is that?! She is such a pistol too, hehe. Even at 95 she is still sneaky, she was able to get a taste of her cake without ANYONE, besides me but I wouldn’t dare say a word ;-), seeing her (you know the sneaky finger in icing trick, haha). I was also able to celebrate a fabulous Mother’s Day with my mom. Every year it is our tradition to go to her favorite farm and to pick out all her vegetables, spices, flowers, etc. for her garden my treat! Then…

Beef & Broccoli
Once again the Northeast is supposed to be hit with a really bad snowstorm this afternoon into tomorrow. I seriously don’t know where we are going to put all the snow! haha, I think I may have prayed a littttle to hard for snow this year. After this storm we are going to have 4 feet of snow on the ground, which is awesome! You know what else it is awesome?! When someone cooks you dinner…there is just nothing like getting dinner made for you in my opinion. I mean, don’t get my wrong, I LOVE to cook but sometimes it is nice to have someone else do the work…

Steaks – Cast Iron Style
Happy Thursday! This week has been seriously nutty. Seems like it is so busy for me. Maybe it is because everyone is just getting back to work from the holidays, which always causes all sorts of pandemonium. Or at least it does at my office. I feel like getting back to my daily grind and schedule, I guess I didn’t realize how busy I really am. Craziness! I feel like there is just so much going on this month…so many birthday’s (including my own), traveling for work, young professional events, celebrations. GAH! All families have those months where all the birthday’s/anniversary’s/big news seems to happen all at once. January is…

Sesame Chicken
Another weekend has come and gone. It is amazing to me how quickly my weekends seem to pass the older I get. I was just having a conversation with my good friend Tamara about how I miss being younger and having life be a bit simpler. I miss the days when someone read a fairytale and then I was given a small carton of milk before my afternoon nap. Those were the days! I feel like anything I can do to make my life more simple is always a good thing. THAT is why I wanted to share this recipe with you. I was given a lot of cookbooks a…

What kind of Sushi do I want?
What an extremely busy week! Honestly…between, work, softball (we made the playoffs! woohoo! and won our game last night woohoooo!), working out, friends, animals, boyfriend, parents etc…I could go on forever, haha….it is hard to have time to cook. It really is! I enjoy cooking but sometimes I really have to almost “schedule” time to do it. At least it seems that way in the summer time for me. When it is winter and I don’t have as much going on it is much easier for me, but the summer is always hard for me to actually sit still in one spot and get something done, haha 😉 I feel…
