See that girl…watch that scene…she is a ziti queen!

24-Jan-10

Well, I do apologize. Things over this way have been slightly left of crazy the past week or so. Madeline’s birthday was wonderful! She enjoyed everything! We had a small family get together on Saturday the 16th for her. Unfortunately, I was battling a slight cold earlier in the week, and Brett somehow caught it [...]

Two years ago a princess was born

14-Jan-10

Well, my first order of business…. Happy Birthday Madeline! Yup, my precious little girl is 2 today! I can’t believe it. I can’t believe I’m the mommy of a 2 year old – more so, I can’t believe I’m so lucky that she’s mine. She’s still (I think) too young to understand her birthday, but [...]

Chocolate keeps you warm

04-Jan-10

It is beyond frigid here. It’s so cold I can’t stand it. I opened the front door to get the mail and couldn’t believe it. Yesterday brought us 15 degrees with a wind chill of -1. Not cool at all. We were planning a nice relaxing day staying warm on the couch in sweats until [...]

Happy 2010!

02-Jan-10

Happy New Year (and new decade, for that matter!). It’s been a whirlwind of a week here and I have so much to do, but I did want to share a few things to start the new year in a great (tasting) way! A little back story on the first dish, well, dessert. As some [...]
