“Cookie Dough” Bites
Good Morning! 🙂 Happy Monday morning to you all. This has been a busy month so far, whew! It isn’t slowing down at all! Patrick’s parents were just here for a visit for a few days, so we did a lot of sight seeing and trying to entertain them and keep them happy. I am glad that Patrick got to see his parents 🙂 This week are our engagement photos! So nervous. I know that our photographer is going to be amazing and her pictures are outstanding I have just never had a photo shoot that was primarily based around me and one other person. Certainly going to be interesting!…

Lemon Zucchini Muffins
My Blog is turning 3 today!! Can you believe that?! I cannot believe that I have been blogging for 3 years. So many recipes, so many new friends, so many opportunities. I would never have thought 3 years ago that the blog would become such a big part of my life but it has. People that I never would have thought of paying attention to things like a food blog, talk to me about my recipes or about the content that I write about. Just wow! Throughout the 3 years I have been amazed at the interest, support and overall love I have gotten with this blog. I wanted to…

Chocolate Caramel Brownies
What a weekend! Eclipse Dance Company was all over the place! Our big event, among others this weekend, was the International Festival of Arts and Ideas. We had a 30 minute piece that we put on for the festival and it went really well. 30 minutes of dancing straight through, btdubs. No stopping. Thirty.Minutes.Straight.Through. Whew! It was a warm day as well and the performance was on an outside stage, so it was interesting to say the least. With all of the extra rehearsals we have been pulling this month, 2 sometimes 3 times a week from 9pm-midnight. It has been a very tense and stressful month, but we made…

Pickled Jalapeño Deviled Eggs (Hellmann’s)
Received a Top 50 Award for my recipe for this contest! Thank you Hellmans! ******************************************************************************************************* Who loves deviled eggs in the summer? I do! I do! Deviled eggs is one of those thing that once Easter comes around, I feel like I should be eating all the time. Not to mention I just love eggs in general. Deviled eggs, scrambled eggs, egg salad, omelets….anything really and I am in when it comes to the incredible edible egg (I was not paid to say that 😉 ). I could literally eat like 12 deviled eggs in one sitting without even blinking. It is one of those comfort foods for me you…

Big Apple Barbecue Block Party in NYC
Are you ready for this post my fellow foodies? I was invited to attend the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party presented by Southern Living, Cooking Light, MyRecipes and RealSimple. It took place in NYC on June 8th & 9th in Madison Square Park. It was the 11th annual block party and it was so much fun! There were cooking classes, live performances, vendor tents with tools and foods, live demonstrations of cooking and cocktail ideas, and best of all BBQ all day long! I honestly had never heard of this event before, but I am so glad I have now. It is only about 2 hours from where I live…

{Guest Post} Organic Cupcakes by Rhiannon
Hello everyone! Today I am featuring a guest post by one of the ladies in my dance company named Rhiannon. I was always seeing her posting cupcakes on her Facebook page and I was like hey, why not make something for the blog! So enough about me, let’s get to Rhiannon! Sweet Organix: Taste Great…Less Harm! There are many people in the world who don’t believe that organic food is healthier than the preserved/processed food that we encounter today. People tend to think it lacks flavor. As believers and supporters of organic food, my husband and I try to educate others about the benefits without the lack of taste. Although,…

Portugal!
So it is official, I will be in Portugal in a day! AHHH! Who is excited?! This girl! Needless to say I will not be posting next week because I will be traveling and most likely won’t have much internet access (thank goodness). I am needing this break though. Looking forward to the time to relax and just kind of do what I want when I want. Patrick and I don’t have any hard set plans, we are just going to go and see what we can see. We have gotten some suggestions from friends and co-workers so we have a list of places to hit and if we hit…

Patrick’s Birthday Cake
So today is Patrick’s 29th birthday! Happy Birthday Patrick! We are celebrating Patrick’s birthday this week. I didn’t plan anything crazy like I did last year. Most of you who read regularly remember that I took him up to Boston for a surprise birthday weekend. We spend the weekend going around the city to museums, art galleries and really delicious restaurants. This year we aren’t doing anything like that. We have a had a lot going on in the past couple weeks, you know getting engaged and all. My family and I are taking him out to dinner this weekend to one of our favorite restaurants J. Gilberts. By far,…

Black Bean Soup with Poblano Corn Pudding
So I had to give my ring up…. 🙁 Before you get too upset, it is because I needed it re-sized, but I still didn’t want to give it up haha It is amazing how quickly I got used to that pretty thing being on my ring finger 🙂 I have also determined that where I work is not conducive to my super sparkly ring. These florescent lights do nothing for me. Do you think that is a viable reason to quit? haha Because I kind of do 😉 It has officially been a week since Patrick and I got engaged. Can you tell that I am still excited? Haha…

The Story
So here is Patrick and my’s story. I cannot tell you how many people have asked me what it is so I am going to tell you in a post so that you all can come and see it whenever you want. But the news is true…Patrick and I are engaged 🙂 The Story: (March 5th 2013) I was coming home from Bikram Yoga and I was starving I am not gonna lie. I get SO hungry after doing that class so I was really looking forward to getting home and getting some grub. On my way, I get a text from Patrick asking me to let him know when…

Quicker than Quick S’mores
Good Monday Morning to you all! How was your weekend? Hopefully full of rest or all the things you were hoping for 🙂 Nothing too exciting went on with mine. Working on the house, trying to catch up on some sleep. However, one of my best friends in the whole world celebrated her birthday this past weekend. Happy Birthday Alana! She is one of those people I have know since about the 1st grade. So about 22 years (that is crazy to say haha). She is enjoying the beginning with her first baby girl this year and I could not be more happy for her. Alana is one of those…
