It should come as no surprise that I love sweet treats. Sometimes, I enjoy spending hours in the kitchen, mixing batters from scratch, testing different recipes and making fully homemade baked goods for my family, friends and co-workers. But those times are few and far between. So, recipes that ...

Pizza…On The GRILL!
Before I get to this fantastic dinner experiment tonight, first let me share with you my decadent Coffee Friday beverage... It was a delicious Raspberry Iced Coffee with skim milk (not too much of it, just how I like it! I hate when you can't tell whether they just gave you a lot of skim milk or ...
Haven't I Seen This Before?
So lunch today was thrown together in about 2 minutes because I was SUPER late to get to work and didn't think to make it last night. Actually, I did think about making it last night, but couldn't decide what I was in the mood for. Nothing was sounding good...perhaps because of the massive amounts ...
Oreo Cream Cupcakes!
I have been BUSY in the kitchen ever since I got home today!! :-D I'll get to the good stuff in a minute, but let's do a quick recap of the rest of today. Mid-morning, the tummy started grumblin' (I figured it would) so I had a blueberry Clif Z Bar. I LOVE having these for a snack. I later ...

Maniac in the Kitchen!
So as soon as I got home from work today, I got to work in the kitchen because I knew I had a lot planned that I wanted to accomplish. I got home around 4:30, and am just sitting down now for my first time (minus a dinner break & a break from some visitors!). So who were those visitors you ...
Strawberry Angel Pie
Softball practice today was FREEEEZING! Here I am, all bundled up, ready to hit the field. Unfortunately, my fingers took the worst beating. I wish I had had my camera out on the field to snap a photo of those puppies, because man, were they WHITE! Really strange disease...how did I get so ...
Vin Santo & Soft Serve
This evening, Jay and I met up with our friends, Brian (who is also Jay's cousin) and his girlfriend Mal for dinner and drinks at Vin Santo, a local tapas and wine bar in Latham, NY. I am totally in LOVE with the decor inside! It's decorated to make it feel like you're dining out on the ...
