    Baked Eggs in Toast

    Happy Friday All! Do you have anything fun planned for your weekend? Patrick and I are once again going to be working on the house. But that is OK! We are loving the new place and we cannot wait to move in. Going to be amazing. I am sure there will be plenty of pictures to see. We have been running around all over the place these past 2 weekends so we weren’t able to get AS much done as we wanted. However, we did get ALL of the popcorn ceilings taken down on the first floor…woot! So to the second floor this weekend. We are also picking up our…

    Corn Crab Cakes

    Do you have a go to meal whenever you go out to a certain restaurant? I don’t mean like going to the SAME restaurant, but let’s say you go to a burger joint…is there always one burger you kind of look for? Or an Italian place where you always look for a certain kind of pasta? This is me when I go to a seafood place… “Do they have crab cakes?” This is like my go to thing that I just have to have every time I set foot in a place that makes crab cakes. To tell you the truth, crab cakes were one of my first seafood experiences.…

    Man, what a tornado these past few weeks have been. Most of you know that Patrick and I have been working to get ourselves our first house. We had our home inspection on Monday afternoon. Overall things went pretty well, here and there things that have to be taken care of…but that is a house right? Our major concern was that the inspector said that the roof needed to be replaced. Knowing that the seller was going to be paying all the closing costs, we knew this was going to be a battle. We thought we would start at the beginning and send in a unsatisfactory inspection form to the…

    Carrot Bread

    Do you have a show that you love to watch on TV? I am rarely home to watch TV let alone get obsessed with one. Back when LOST was still on, I was an absolute maniac about that show. I started watching it in college and my love affair with that show continued for its entire duration. After LOST went off the air, I really didn’t have anything that I raced home to watch or that I was really upset that I missed. I have friends that are fans of The Bachelor and other reality TV shows like that. I have really never gotten into them. To tell you the…

    TGIF!! Any big plans this weekend? I have the cooking class, other than that just lots of working out trying to get more in shape for my trip to Disney in May. Yup that’s right! I am going to Disney!! I have never been. My brother went a couple times but I wasn’t ever taken. I think my grandparents on my Mom’s side liked him better as a child haha. He went like 2 or 3 times and I never got to go. Well you know what?! I AM GOING NOW! The girls I play softball with got a timeshare down there for an entire week around Memorial day so…

    SweetBurgers with Chipotle Cilantro Cream

    We are going to start off today with some frustration and then get to the excitement, sound good? OK, so I am CONFUSED!! What the heck Facebook? The timeline feature is really neat to look at, but how the heck do I get it to do what I want for my RavieNomNoms Fanpage? I can’t get any of my links to come up just under my cover picture. Maybe it has something to do with the amount of people you have liking your page and that gives you different options? As, I am looking through book of faces that is all I can tell. Some people are able to put…

    Football Cookies

    How was your Superbowl Sunday? Did your team win? I wasn’t really partial to either one of the teams. I don’t care for Brady or Eli all that much. Truly, I was hoping to see the Packers in the Superbowl. Not that they are a team I follow closely, but I thought they deserved it. I am a Chiefs and Steelers fan, so both of my teams were gone long before the Superbowl. Although my Chiefs did win against the Packers so that was exciting. Not that it had any kind of bearing on the Packers at all, but delivering their first lost was definitely a proud moment for my…

    1 week down of the detox. Doing well! I baked some muffins yesterday when I had my break for Sunday Dinner. 1 week to go and then I will be all done. I am going strong. Although I do miss having a piece of toast or oatmeal with my breakfast haha ๐Ÿ˜‰ I have a confession… I.am.obsessed.with.Pinterest. Like obsessed! I happened to stumble across it once or twice and then have seen a lot of foodies using it and then had a coworker mention it, so I HAD to check it out. If you haven’t ever, do so! Especially if you like pictures, it is like heaven for anyone who…

    Happy New Year!! I hope you all had a great time with whatever you did for New Year’s! The performance that I told you about went quite well, we actually have another performance this weekend on the 7th. Busy already in 2012! Sooooo unlike me ๐Ÿ˜‰ This recipe I am sharing with you today you are going to love, especially if you like sweet stuff for breakfast. I personally don’t really like sweet things for breakfast… ::audience gasps:: I KNOW I KNOW, it is weird!

    How is everyone doing this AM? Hopefully well. I am SO glad it is Friday. Although I cannot believe that it is the 9th of December! Yowza! Has anyone noticed anything different about my blog? It has been a little colder since the start of December…I wonder if that is because of the weather (*ahem can you see the snow?). I am amazed at how quickly time flies. I have gotten all of my Christmas shopping done (besides the day I go shopping with my Dad for my Mom, I have always been the one designated as Dad’s Christmas shopping partner because I help him pick out the good stuff…
