Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes...

As you can see, I got a new blog lay-out! I absolutely love it. I'm carrying over my wedding colors into the blog. :-)


It's from Simply Yours Designs. The creator (Hil) has a ton of super-cute pre-made layouts that you can purchase for a pretty reasonable price. Go check it out if you think your blog needs to be spruced up a bit.


In other funny news, I made chocolate chip banana bread today. And made a complete mess.



Looks like I need a bigger loaf pan...

I guess I will get to figure out how the oven self-cleaning cycle works!

Question: What types of  mishaps have you encountered in the kitchen? Do share!

Oh my gosh, kitchen mishaps...I don't even know where to start. There was the time I tried to make brownies from scratch and after 3 separate batches, still didn't get it right! ( I always use a box mix now!) My recent blog post about my accidental biscuit/rolls. The first time I had my now-husband over for dinner, I tried to make corn chowder and the potatoes were crunchy, there was too much pepper and I forgot 2 ingredients! In all honesty, I could probably start an entire blog about just my kitchen mess-ups.

I see your bread oozed but did it taste good?

Yea, it was still pretty tasty. Just a mess to clean up. I let Ben take it to the office to share with his employees...

i feel like every time i go in the kitchen i have a mishap whether it's involving cooking or not. yesterday i was trying to get the granola bars out and i dumped over the box of cocoa. huge mess! i had to use almost a whole roll of paper towels to mop it up. it even got on a vent so it was blowing cocoa powder in my face the whole time.

i bought that cocoa to make no bake cookies for church at our house and i thought, no bake? i can make them right before they get here cuz they don't have to bake...but then they didn't solidify until everyone had left so any brave soul who wanted one had to eat them from a cup with a spoon. FAIL

and while grating potatoes to make hashbrowns i grated a pretty good chunk of my skin. we couldn't find it cuz it was the same color as the potatoes so we probably ate it which is really gross.

Oh goodness... At least then you had more no-bakes for yourself after everybody left?

Usually when I make cinnamon roll, I do not add enough flour and end up with dough stuck to the counter. I also usually have flour EVERYWHERE in the kitchen by the time I done. I always try to clean it up with a damp cloth, but then it make flour paste. But the baked cinnamon rolls are sooo worth it!

The Arrival of Something New...

Woo hoo for the last Friday of the school year! And only one more day of school next week. (And then a couple teacher workshops...) Another reason to be excited? Our fridge came today!! Isn't she a beauty? It is so nice to have a fridge again. You don't realize how much you miss a full-size refrigerator until you go a couple weeks without it. A bit bare... but that can be solved easily. Bottom-drawer freezer, containing the essentials: moose tracks & Diet Dew trying to get cold asap. Anyways, I'm just popping in to share my beautiful new appliance. The baking monster has taken over, and I'm in the midst of making 150 cupcakes for a graduation party tomorrow.  First big baking project in the new kitchen! I'm loving all the counter space. Mmm... chocolate buttercream! Making good use of the baking nook! :) Adios!

The Essential Summer Dessert

Last weekend, my Business Man and I hosted a fiesta for some of our friends in the Bean Town. While everyone enjoyed the food, I think dessert was the biggest hit. (Surprise, surprise.) We had brownies (from a box, the horror!) topped with chocolate ganache, and fruit pizza . Fruit pizza is most definitely my "go-to" summer dessert. Since it's the official 1st day of summer, I thought I'd share the recipe! It's delicious without being too heavy or rich. And it's most definitely healthy, because you are eating fruit, right? The recipe I use is my mom's... she's been using it for years. It starts with a basic sugar cookie base, topped with a cream cheese-whipped topping, and then all the fruit your little heart desires! I usually go with strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, pineapple, and mandarin oranges. But raspberries are really good, too. Even better when you pick the fruit yourself! (Picking berries on our honeymoon last July.) ...

2011 Flying Pig Marathon Race Recap

Marathons are hard. But before we get to the actual marathon, let's rewind a bit to Saturday afternoon. We arrived in Cincy around 2pm, and hit up marathon expo. Goodness sakes, I had never seen a room so large filled with so many runners. Everyone was so excited, you could almost feel the energy. We weaved our way through the exhibitors and what they had to offer. (Think free dark chocolate almond granola samples! Yum! I also might have snagged some info on the Disney Half & Marathon in January... we shall see.) We also stopped for a few fun photo ops. Posing with a balloon flying pig. These were everywhere! Flying pigs with all sorts of themes. They were so cute! After the expo, we headed to our early-bird dinner. We had the luxury of dining at Maggiano's Little Italy   (major carb-loading!), and it was a fantastic dining experience. The service was great , and the food was delicious as well. None of us had ever eaten there, befo...
