Staying Put

May 31, 2009

A week or two ago, Fiance and I found out that the neighborhood we live in, had two bedroom townhome available. Thrilled for the extra space, we got a bit excited. Like, really really excited. Unfortunately, with my unsteady freelance income, and not so many hours at the gym so I can freelance more, leaves [...]

Giving up on Food

January 26, 2009

Okay not really. I swear I don’t have an eating disorder. Have y’all heard about those detox diets? The ones that range anywhere from 5-14 days? Well, I decided as a new years resolution that I wanted to give it a shot once/month. I’m starting my January detox today. Since it’s my first one, I [...]

Wedding Wednesday – Ta Da!!!!

January 15, 2009

Originally, my goal was to have my save the dates sent out by the time we went to Connecticut for the long weekend. Well, this week…I’ve slacked. Not gonna lie, I’ve had plenty of time to get them done but I’ve spent my nights cooking dinner, and lounging with fiance reading on the couch till [...]

Finalizing the Menu (and then some….)

November 26, 2008

Well kids, turkey day is just a hop, skip and jump and a 5k away. Fiance and I finalized our menu the other day, finished shopping, got a bird about five pounds bigger than we intended (seriously, a 14 lb turkey is way too big for 4 people but the smaller birds were $1 more [...]

Sweet Home Risotto…

October 27, 2008

Tonight I cooked Sweet Potato Risotto from the November issue of Real Simple. It was awesome – previously, I’ve cooked a tomato and sausage risotto that I saw on We Are Not Martha last year. It turned out good, but it was a bit heavy. All in all a really easy recipe, I did realize [...]

This Weekend…

Pink Saturday Week 4

August 9, 2008

I’m loving Old Navy’s fall line – it’s gotten uber preppy. I wonder when preppy became such a “fad” in which all the designers seem to be takin’ up the trend. Not that i’m complaining, I happen to like affordable preppy clothes from Target, Old Navy and Ann Taylor Loft. For now, I’ve gotta go [...]

Be Like that….

July 6, 2008

You know…like that. I dunno. I’ve kind of been in a bloggy slump lately. Seriously, like i remember the next day that I needed to blog. I remember, after four hours of hard core bedroom cleaning, selling items on Ebay (Yes! I’m selling clothes on Ebay! If you want the link…ask ), and cooking a [...]

Here’s to the Red White and Blue..

July 4, 2008

Happy Fourth everyone… Today, instead of a real post, I’m going to post something awesome. Last year, at some point in the summer, I had a flag cake. I don’t know if that’s what they’re actually called but that’s what I’m going to call mine. I got the idea this morning watching the Food Network [...]
