Mini Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cookies
Yay Patrick! Look at you go, your Whole Wheat Waffles made the Top 9! Thanks everyone for the Top 9, I know Patrick is really excited about it. You should have seen his face when I showed him the notification on my phone this morning at 6:30am haha. Too cute! I am so excited that Turkey day is tomorrow. I think I am more excited about not having to go to work than anything else haha. Sometimes you just need a break you know? It will be nice to just spend some time with the family cooking and telling stories and then napping once we stuff ourselves with turkey hehe…

Whole Wheat Waffles with Strawberries
This week is Thanksgiving and I cannot tell you how excited I am. I love the holidays! Like love them. The parties, the family, the food, the snow. Just love it. I have a lot of exciting things happening in the next couple months. Not only is it going to be Thanksgiving this week, but I am also meeting Patrick’s bother (Justin) and his wife (Lindsay) the day after the holiday. We are meeting in NYC, which should be fun. Maybe go see the Christmas tree in Rockefeller center and have a nice fancy dinner in the big apple. If you haven’t ever seen the Christmas tree in NYC, you…

Strawberry and Apricot Stripe Cookies
I would just like to point out that next week is Thanksgiving. GAH!!! ::sings:: gobble gobble goo and gobble gobble giggle, I wish turkey only cost a nickel. <—if you don’t know what that is from click here. I cannot believe how fast this year has been going.

Would you like to get this for an invite? I don’t know about you but when it starts to get around this time of year all…

Apple Muffins
This has been a sad week for me. I am sure that you all have heard about the things that have been happening at Penn State. It is almost impossible to turn on your computer or TV without seeing 10 stories about JoePa and his Nittany Lions. I am heartbroken. That is the easiest way to explain it. I am absolutely mortified and disgusted that a man like Sandusky was associated with Penn State. The crimes that he committed are completely unforgivable and I pray for the families and the boys affected; that they may someday be able to heal from this tragedy. My heart is also very heavy with…

White Turkey Chili
Well hello there. Finally got power back last night! That brings the total to 8 days without power. Still don’t have phone or cable at my house, so that has been interesting. Just lots of movie watching going on :-). Thank goodness the power is back though. There are still some people who do not have it, so I am lucky. Remember that chili cook-off I was telling you about? It happened the night of the horrible snowstorm we had. And guess what? (no not chicken butt Patrick) I won! The chili I am sharing with you today is award winning! Ok, well not really award winning, but I did…

Spicy Louisiana Tilapia Fillets with Sautéed Veggie Relish
I am here to inform you that Kristin’s wedding was a blast! She was just the prettiest bride and everything seemed to go so very smoothly for her. I am so happy for her! 😀 Patrick and I had a great time! We definitely enjoyed all the food and danced the entire night which is always a good time. I promised that I would show a picture of my dress so here it is! I personally think the best part of my outfit was my hair…I went to get it done at my salon for the first time for a wedding. I NEVER do that, don’t ask why because I…

Apple Pocket Tarts
You guys are awesome! Another Top 9. I am just blown away. Thanks bunch for buzzing my Apple Bread!! I have been on a bit of an apple kick lately. There are in season you know? Not to mention I love apples…LOVE them. Like I have before, I have an apple every single day. What is that saying “an apple a day, keeps the doctor away”? Something like that anyways. I always end up getting on these kicks with different ingredients and then make a ton of things with that one ingredient. I mean did you SEE all the pumpkin things I made? Not to mention the blueberry recipes…I wanted…

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…

Nectarine & Blueberry Cobbler
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…
