While I normally stick to my eggs, egg whites, ham, cheese breakfasts because I prefer savory over sweet, but I still do get a jones for pancakes every once in a while.  The problem I have with pancakes and waffles is that I think they are too sweet once you add the syrup.  I think Damn Delicious’ Blueberry Pancakes has been pinned over 10k times...

While I was kind of complaining to my sister that it was hot while we were in Virginia, she told me one day last week nearly everyone walking downtown had to wear coats on the way to work because it was so chilly.  Yesterday proved to be another chilly/rainy morning, but I absolutely love it.  Amazeball sleeping weather with the windows wide open, my fan...

Guys.  You know what the worst thing is after vacation?  SETTING AN ALARM!  While I woke up every other day to make biscuits, some days I just went right back to bed for a couple hours and it was glorious.  When my alarm went off yesterday morning it took me a second to realize that oh yeah – I had a job to get back...

Did you miss me?!  Ha – probably didn’t even notice I was gone.  Another wonderful trip to the Northern Neck in Virginia is in the books!  It’s funny how the first few days kind of slow to a snails pace, and then all of a sudden it’s time to leave! We made a couple mistakes.  First mistake?  Leaving at 5:15 at rush hour, in the...

Well the day is finally here!  Come 5:00 today, Hannah and Jacob will pick me up and we’ll start on our road trip to Virginia.  Jacob’s Mom is going to be staying at our house to watch the dogs.  Thanks Val!  But it got me thinking.  I don’t have keys to my house.  I know Tony had one on his key ring, but I know...

Over the weekend I found these new to me wraps.  They don’t feel quite like a flour tortilla or a corn tortilla, but I thought shit – for 50 calories and 6 grams of fiber per wrap, I’d make a breakfast panini out of them. The verdict?  Just okay in the panini – they didn’t crispy up like flour tortilla so, just the edges were...

I just couldn’t think of a title, but guys, I’ve been bizzy at work – like all day busy and it reminds me of the old days.  Even though I know it will go back to boring when I finish this project, I love the feeling that I am actually contributing to the firm other than making people food, hot coffee drinks and emptying out...

I am getting really excited about my vacation next week.  We eat a lot, talk a lot, porch a lot, float a lot.  I love it when my brother and I go at the same time too because it’s usually the longest period of time I get to spend with him all year.  Eight days!  Basically we are a family that loves to cook, so...

This was an emotional weekend for me.  It all started on Friday night.  It was the perfect grilling night – sit outside night.  I think it was easier for me to get through the winter without Tony because all we did was watch t.v. in the winter time.  But come summer?  We’d sit outside every change we had.  So this time of year is turning...

Just as I was about to go on a walk yesterday morning it started to rain.  Gah.  I thought for a half a second that I could go back to bed for another 30 minutes, but I decided that I wouldn’t melt.  I still was going to take a shower before work so what was the big deal?  It’s wasn’t a thunderstorm, just rain.  I...
