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…

Baked Tomatoes with Corn and Goat Cheese
Happy Monday! How is your Monday going? Did you have a nice weekend? My weekend was full of master bathroom remodeling and purchasing… ::blank look:: Which basically means, I am poor. Haha, bathroom remodels are expensive! Holy shmokes. We are limited in our space for the master bath. It isn’t a very large bathroom so we are trying to maximize our space. We currently have a whirlpool in our bathroom and it literally takes up half the room…eeeekk! So we are going to adjust that and remove the whirlpool and put something that in that is going to save a butt-load of space in that tiny area (about 10″). I…

Hey! Did you hear?? I have a new fridge! In my kitchen, that also has a new floor… Riiiiiiight <——– there! Isn’t it pretty?! Isn’t it like SO much better than that *ahem* piece of shit, I meaaaaaan, old fridge that was there? Patrick and I also got the new dishwasher and gas range…GAS RANGE PEOPLE! Ahh yes the good things in life. However, they aren’t quite installed yet, but they will be. Am I the only foodie that gets super excited when new kitchen items show up? I am seriously like a kid in a candy store when it comes to kitchen utensils, appliances, tools etc. You know like…

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.…

Baked Jalapeño Poppers
Waking up to these cool mornings makes me happy. Walking to my car in the morning to head to work with the brisk air hitting my cheeks and taking a deep breath in of the crisp scent of Fall. Can you tell I love Fall? It reminds me of family, gathering with friends, riding on hayrides, apple cider doughnuts, tons of delicious food and {dare I say it} Christmas planning! There is just something about this time of year that makes me happy, to my bones just happy. Whether it is cuddling up with a book and reading in front of the fire or working on a cross-stitch while watching…

Hello All!Thank you all so much for putting my Sautéed Tilapia Tacos in the Top 9! What a great present for today! Because…today is a big day… I turn 27 today!

We actually had our first date there ♥ ♥.…

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…

Pesto Gnocchi
Good rainy morning to you all! I have a big presentation this morning to the big man on campus here at work and all his staff so this is going to be a short and sweet intro. Need to prepare! I am not one of those people that really gets nervous when I present to a crowd, I think that may be because I am a dancer and have spent a lot of time on stage. Either way even though I don’t get nervous I do like to be prepared for the pack of wolves I am about to get up in front of, haha. This recipe that I am…

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…
