    Peach Necatrine Butter

    Oh, Hey…     What’s up? Long time no blog. Can we chat for a second? I just wanted you to know it is nothing personal. I don’t hate you, or dislike you even. In fact, I care for you very much. It just, well… Things get in the way sometimes. Sometimes there’s this thing called life, that acts like a tornado and rips through your life and tosses around all your belongings, even that lamp you love that your soon to be hubby hates. It’s kinda crazy. And little annoying. Scratch that, SUPER annoying. My life has been a jumbled mess of decisions, wedding planning, renovations, work and just life. Napkins,…

    Mojito

    Sometimes a girl just needs a drink! You know those things called weekends where you take it easy and relax? I have no idea what that means…. I work hard on the weekends. I renovate, I work out, I clean, I mow the lawn, I meet with vendors for the wedding. Weekends are NOT for relaxing for me right now. Hope that changes after the wedding though! But for now, they are jammed packed. Full of getting things done, having meetings with vendors, trying to keep the yard up and renovating our guest bathroom (which will hopefully be the last thing we do until next year) and trying to have…

    Zucchini Fritters

    I am swimming in zucchini… So many zucchini! and since I have a person in my house that hates zucchini, I have to come up with creative ways to get it into dinners. Lucky for me, there is one night a week right now where I am on my own for dinner, so guess what my dinners have consisted of. Wow, how did you guess? Yup, zucchini. I will pretty much eat it any which way, but I wanted to try something different. Do you ever get like that? Where you know there are a million ways you have already had something, and they were all super delicious but you…

    Zucchini Brownies w/ Dark Chocolate Frosting

    It is August. AUGUST! I mean good lord, where has this year gone!? Granted, I have been pretty busy. But still. Patrick and I have been working like crazy people to try and get our house ready for people to come and stay in for the wedding that is 82 days away…eeeeeee! Yikers. One of our bathrooms is completely torn up at the moment. Down to the studs. Always something isn’t it? I am glad we are doing it, because quite frankly we had some SERIOUS electrical hazards behind our walls. In just about every room we have touched. Thank goodness my Dad and Patrick know to how fix these…
