Happy Thanksgiving!!

Hello!!

I cannot believe it is actually thanksgiving.  We are set up right now with our traditional breakfast and the parade on the TV in the background.  This year we are heading off to our families to celebrate.  Two families in one day so it’s going to be a long one!!!

I was in charge of bringing a side dish so there was no doubt that I was going with my stuffed mushrooms.  They are quick, easy, and delicious.  If you are reading this and in need of a quick recipe ASAP then check it out below, or actually just check them out anyway 🙂

Labor Day Blues

Hello,

Well the unofficial end of summer has past and it leaves me feeling a bit depressed, as it always does, and with the same old questions, How did the it go so fast?  and how early is considered too early to get a pumpkin spice latte? Fall does have it’s perks though including awesome weather, apple pie, awesome holidays, and most importantly my birthday, but I still can’t help mourn the loss of long beach days and those summer nights. It is good to note though that as fast as summer went it will be back just as fast so with that I am able to cope 🙂

This weekend was of course filled with family, friends, and BBQ’s and I was determined to step it up a bit and not make the same old default stuff I always make.  I took some extra time going through the isles of the supermarket to come up with a couple of new appetizers and side dishes that ended up being a hit!  It’s not everyday you hit a recipe out of the park the first time out so I am very excited to share these below.  Hopefully they will be just as big of a hit at your next gathering.  Keep in mind summer DOES go until the 21st so there are a couple of good BBQ weekends ahead of us on the east coast!!!  So soak in as much as you can!!

Summer Fun!

Hello!!!

It has definitely been awhile but I have been super busy with life!! As we all are!! I cannot believe the summer is almost over.  I feel like it just started!  I am not looking forward to winter, but as I sit here staring at the condensation on my window caused by the extreme humidity outside I can maybe start to see the benefits of a little cold 🙂

Happy Easter!!

Hi!!

Happy Easter!!!! I cannot believe it’s Easter already-it’s SO early this year!  This year we were pretty busy visiting both families, which can get pretty tiring, especially on a Sunday. I spent all day yesterday preparing some of my fav additions to the table so all I had to worry about today was waking up, getting ready, church, then eating all day haha.  Hope you and your families had an amazing day! Buona Pasqua!!! 🙂

Cali Recap!

Hi!!!

Just got back from my California trip and it was amazing!  3 Days spent in Huntington Bach and 3 Days in Anaheim.  Got to hang out with one of my best friends which was awesome and of course got to eat some amazing food.  Some of which inspired me to come up with my own versions…more of that to come soon 🙂 Continue reading
