Apple Bread
Ahhhhh….just what I needed. A weekend. This weekend was so relaxing AND I was able to find a dress for the wedding I am attending this week. I found it at Macy’s and I almost NEVER shop there. I started looking back over the past couple months and I realized that I really haven’t bought myself anything for a while, so what the hell, why not buy myself a new dress for the wedding right? I have never been one of those girls that spends countless hours shopping for clothes (however, when it comes to shoes? Forget about it. I could shop for 12 days- haha). Sometimes it is good…

Thank you again for the Top 9 on my Wedding Cake Cookies!! Wow guys, thank you! That just makes my day to come into work and have a notification from Foodbuzz. You foodies are the best ever! 😀 I am very much so looking forward to the weekend. This has been a very difficult and hectic week for me so to have a few days off is going to be JUST what I need. I am sure as always the weekend will fly by, but at least it is at the beginning of it right now. I am also looking forward to spending some quality time with Patrick because he…

Carrot Cake Cupcakes
Weekends go by too fast. It is just a fact of life. Every time the weekend comes I am so ecstatic and then it seems in the blink of an eye it is gone and I am stuck behind my desk at work again. This weekend WAS a lot of fun though which I am sure is why it seemed to go even faster than I wanted it to. I was able to meet up with one of my old friends John in Mystic CT. Not only did I get to see a lot of history at the Mystic Seaport but I also got to catch up with one of…

Pumpkin Muffins
Thank you again everyone for the Top 9 for my Spicy Asian Chicken Noodle Soup!! WOW! I am so happy that you all think my stuff is good enough to buzz. Made my day! Really 😀 I cannot tell you how glad I am that it is Friday today! I have had a hellish week. I just started a new job in the past 2 weeks, which is good because I get paid more, haha, but bad because I have WAY more work. I am still in that adjustment phase where it is new. I am sure some of you know how that goes. On a lighter note, I get…

I have to admit that I am really excited because tomorrow… Why do you ask? Well, I am going to a dinner at Rosedale Farms with Patrick. It is a dinner that one of the restaurant groups in Hartford is sponsoring. There is tons of things that go on at these events including farm tours, wine tastings, and…

Peach Blueberry Muffins
I am SO glad it is the weekend. What a week! I know I know…I say that ALL the time. But this week…really, what a frekkin’ week. Between SUPER DUPER stress at work from being gone from traveling and interviewing for positions and then getting in an accident. Just need a break! So I cannot tell you how happy I am that I am getting some much needed rest. So nice to be able to not do anything sometimes you know? This weekend will be full of football watching (Go PSU, Chiefs, and Steelers!) and baking I am sure. I have this recipe I want to try that I am…

Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies
Another weekend has come and gone…the golf tournament last week went really well. My team and I had a fabulous time golfing. We certainly aren’t what you would call “golfers” but we definitely had fun and played some decent golf. Since I was the captain of the golf team I wanted to make sure that my team was equip with all the essentials. Music, booze, and cookies…hehe 😉 Personally, I was not a fan of how these cookies came out but everyone seemed to really enjoy them. I didn’t have any butter so I had to substitute Crisco in, which we all know changes the texture and flavor of the…

Fresh Blueberry Lemon Pops
What a crazy couple weeks! Things have been turned a bit upside down for me in the past month, which has made it a little difficult to keep up my blogging routine. I know my friend Jonny has been bugging me about it haha. I posted something last week and he immediately sends me a text, “holy crap, your blog made me soo f*ing hungry”. 😉 gotta love it! I feel like you have to embrace the cards that life deals for you though. Things have definitely not been turning out how I thought they would, but I am slowly learning that I just need follow my heart and I…

M&M Cookies
I was thinking the other day…wow, how long has it been since I have been writing on my blog? I started looking through all my old posts and pictures and noticed that it has been a year since I started RavieNomNoms. WHA?!? A year?!!! Holy frekkin’ moly right? As I was looking through my older posts I saw how much over the year that I have grown as a blogger and a cook. It is amazing! I am sure a lot of you have looked back on some of your old posts (and pictures) and thought how on earth would anyone ever want to look at this let alone read…
