Today was a monumental day for me! :shock: Almost 27 years into my life, and today I finally learned how to make Mom’s Homemade Sauce & Meatballs! I quickly found out…it’s a messy job! And I had thought the sauce was messy…oh no. It’s the meatballs that had me gettin “down ‘n ...
Courtney’s Apple Crisp
When it comes to dessert, anything with chocolate or frosting is usually right at the top of my list. However, there is one special treat that has always held a special place in my heart dessert belly: Apple Crisp. It’s one of my favorite fall-weather treats to make! I’ve been using the same recipe ...
Finally…Not Running Against The Clock
There’s nothin’ like a Saturday when you have time to do a little bit of everything, without having any time constraints! :) So far, my Saturday has looked a little something like this… I slept in without using an alarm, and it was fabulous. I think I got about 10 hours of sleep, which I needed ...
Fall Funfetti Cookies with Orange Cream Cheese Frosting
I’m such a sucker for fall-related food and candy items. :oops: While grocery shopping a couple weeks ago, I came across this festive Betty Crocker box… and didn’t even think twice about tossing it into my cart! I had a feeling it would come in quite handy for this past weekend’s Fall Festival ...
A Spontaneous Start
This morning was a first! Today was the first time I’ve ever gotten up before my alarm on a weekday, and decided to do some yoga when it wasn’t already planned. :shock: source That never happens! As you know, I’m a total snoozer, so getting up is not always an easy task. However, when I woke up ...
What I Got Is What I Want
It’s Friday Night! WOOO HOOOO! I’ve been BodyPumped… (which I’m definitely going to be feelin’ tomorrow – boy, have I missed it!) I’ve got my glass of vino… I’ve got some delicious sushi (a California Roll to be exact) that I picked up from another trip to The Fresh Market… YUMM! ...
Honey Raisin Banana Pumpkin Bread
Somebody got down ‘n dirty in the kitchen last night!! I’ve had the urge to do some baking all week long, and last night I finally had the opportunity to park myself in the kitchen and get to work. I had two ingredients that had to be used: bananas (‘cuz they’re nice ‘n ripe!) and pumpkin ...
Introducing: Sweet Tooth Cupcakes!!
Today was not an ordinary day. It was a day of two very different “firsts.” For one, it was our first garage sale as home owners. Although we still have tomorrow left, we’ve already made some pretty good moola, so I’m excited! Although, when it comes to my next big “first,” excited doesn’t even ...
A Tasty Little Giveaway!
Today’s lunch, while always tasty, isn’t really anything to get too excited over. So I figured, rather than bore you all with my “Monday Tuesday Usual,” how about we do a tasty little giveaway instead!?! I guess you could say I’m a little giddy over the new blog layout, and I’m full of positive ...
No Pudge Here!
My hubby really is a Grill Master…he never ceases to impress me with his skillzzz. ;) This morning before leaving for work, I took some Italian marinated chicken out from the freezer to have ready for dinner tonight. Can I just say…as much as I hate washing and prepping large packs of chicken, it ...
