Marriage. I’m two months in with forever to go. They said it wouldn’t be easy. They said it would take work. They said it would be worth it. I talked with my 90 yr old Grandpa on the phone today who said, “When he does something that’s not right, don’t cook for him.” So, tonight… Continue reading Rainbows, Butterflies, and Lightning.

For those of you who don’t remember, our wedding was August 30th (2014). It was Labor Day weekend and my husband had school first thing that Tuesday. We are doing a two week honeymoon in January!

Friday we had an ugly sweater party at work. At the end of the party the managers were kind enough to suprise us with the fact they had gotten each of us a wine bottle as a Christmas gift. How sweet! Each wine bottle was wrapped in red or white paper indicating what kind it… Continue reading Red Wine Spritzer
Yes, another amazing meal from the Recipes From Home Collection. This gift from my Future-Mother-In-Law introduced me to many recipes I had never heard of.
