Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
My husband and I are both big fans of bleu cheese so I knew when I saw this recipe, I had to make it. My daughter was so-so on it, but I still made her eat it. This would be a great appetizer to make for a dinner party but we ended up eating it… Continue reading Beef & Bleu Cheese Tart
Once again this year we had the opportunity to pick blueberries at my husband's grandfather's house. Store bought blueberries don't even come close to how delicious these one taste. We ended up picking about 12 quarts of blueberries. I froze half of them and we've been eating the other half on yogurt and just snacking… Continue reading Blueberry Walnut Oatmeal Muffins
Chocolate and peanut butter are one of my favorite combinations. I mean, really...how can you go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter?!?! I made these muffins the week before I gave birth to Cooper in hopes that some baking would jump start labor, well, that didn't happen; but we all were ready to indulge in… Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Muffins
Living near Philadelphia, we're big fans of the cheesesteak! Ironically, I've never had an authentic cheesesteak from either Pat or Geno's - but that doesn't stop me from making them at home or enjoying them from local restaurants. The key to the Philly cheesteak is all about the bread and the thin sliced steak. Now… Continue reading Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers

The end of my pregnancy was really rough and I was very uncomfortable and pretty much did nothing except lay on the couch and try to relax. But I have exciting news! My little guy was born on Tuesday, June 12th! I… Continue reading Where I’ve been…

Thank you to all the veterans who have served and protected our wonderful country. This morning, we headed over to Main Street to watch our town's Memorial Day parade. There was… Continue reading Buttermilk Oatcakes with Raspberry Compote
Banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies...whew that's a mouthful! But a yummy mouthful, if I do say so myself! Once again, I had some overripe bananas and wanted to try something different with them. I searched through all my cookbooks and found this recipe. It's perfect since I had all the ingredients in my pantry (love when… Continue reading Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Welcome to the May edition of the Secret Recipe Club! This month I was assigned the blog - What's Brewing in the Kitchen. Amy & Zach seem like so much fun between all their cooking and baking adventures and Zach's advertures in brewing beer! I'm jealous of all the beer Zach has brewed and it… Continue reading The Secret Recipe Club: Smoked Gouda Stuffed Mushrooms
I think I've mentioned this before but we're big fans of having breakfast for dinner. I guess this comes from both my husband and I working and we usually just eat cereal or oatmeal at work...and I just can't bring myself to cook eggs in the microwave. These pancakes are amazing. They're on the more… Continue reading Lemon Cornmeal Pancakes
My friend Jillian nominated me for a Liebster award! Jillian is a fashion blogger and I'm totally jealous of her style (especially at 8 months pregnant and my limited wardrobe right now.) Make sure you stop over and check out Jillian's blog to see her style - she's also hosting a giveaway for some super… Continue reading Sharing the Love…
