Happy New Year’s Eve! Where did the year go? I’ve been taking time to reflect on this past year, with hopes of an even better 2011. I’ve had a lot of great foods this past year and want to thank you all for your encouragement and support. Going through my photos, I realized that I [...]
I woke up early this morning excited for the magic of Christmas. We went to church as a family and came home to exchange gifts. Santa was very good to me this year. I feel so blessed.KITCHEN AID ARTISAN STAND MIXER !!!!!!How did Santa Know??I can’t even tell you how happy I was. My little [...]
I returned to my parent’s home yesterday evening right in time for dinner. We had take out, however; this isn’t your ordinary fast-food meal. My dad picked up Mexican food from a local place called Alto Cinco. It is one of those eateries you find once in a blue moon and I always look forward [...]
I’ll be going home for the holidays, which means: cleaning out my fridge and preparing all of my gifts. So besides massive amounts of cookie baking, I have been busy trying to get myself together so I can relax at home with my loved ones. Last night I made an easy dinner, incorporating as much [...]
This morning I joined the productive member of society club, rising before the sun to shovel my way out of my apartment and de-ice my car. I said hello to all of my neighbors, who were also looking their 6am best, and made my way back inside for a warm shower and bowl of whipped [...]
I often wake up thinking, “I wish I could stay in my pajamas all day and bake.” If I didn’t have a guilt complex, I would probably play hooky JUST to bake all day long. The weekends are the perfect excuse to accomplish these goals. Yesterday I ate good food and drank wine all day [...]
‘Tis the season to…VISIT THE FINGER LAKES! I literally ate food and drank wine all day long. A few months ago I was fortunate enough to win a pair of tickets to the Cayuga Wine Trail’s Holiday Shopping Spree (Thank you again to Finger Lakes Tourism–especially Sarah who helped find my lost ticket ), and [...]
We have snow! My apartment is freezing, and the only thing I want to do today is snuggle in bed. I entertained the thought of oatmeal to warm my soul before work, however; I’m still not in the mood. I opted for waffles and they seemed to work!2 Vans Waffles, 1/2 cup of Greek Yogurt, [...]
There are many things that I do not question, they are simply facts of life. FACT: I’ve been getting sick of oatmeal (which is bad because the weather is getting colder and I love a nice, hot breakfast on a cold day!) . When I’m not craving oatmeal, I stand in front of my refrigerator [...]
So long home cooked meals and lazy days watching football (which I still don’t completely understand). Hello work week. Before leaving the company of my parents, we shared one last meal together. My mom took advantage of a few of our leftovers, and made pork for the sake of a white meat that wasn’t turkey. [...]
