Hi friends! I am so sorry I have been away for so long! Despite having more time to bake and cook because we’re all cooped up working from home, I have had a very busy summer! Now that at least one major thing is checked off my list (ahem, see above) I have a bit more time to make note of the treats I have been concocting!
I’ll catch you up a bit, first, though!
1. Jim and I got married! Wahoo! Finally! Buddies for life now! Life is good!! The wedding was at 9 AM, so my champion bride tribe awoke from their beauty rest at 4 AM to get all dolled up. Our reception was a BRUNCH! Oh, my gosh, people. Do a brunch reception for your wedding! Who doesn’t love rosemary asiago hash browns, donuts, or mimosas?! And by 2 p.m. IT’S DONE! So easy. I can’t recommend it enough! Married life has been great so far and we couldn’t be happier. We have been pretty addicted to the Food Network every night and are big fans of Bobby Flay Throwdowns. Pretty soon we will be off on our honeymoon to the most magical place on earth: DISNEY WORLD!! And then the next stop…PUPPY. Did I mention that life is really good?
2. I have been running A LOT. When I shirked my blogging duties, it was majorly because it was so beautiful outside this summer. I was just itching to be outside instead of behind a computer! I am very (shocked and) proud to say I have run over 500 miles this summer! The cooler weather of fall will make it even easier to go for a nice run, but soon it’ll be all indoor workouts again!
3. We bought a house! And the kitchen is YUGE. It’s big league, folks. I am so enamored. Rest assured I have been overutilizing it, and I am looking forward to showing it to you! The industrial-grade KitchenAid that Jim, Joe, and Jane got for me for my birthday is in use at least once every day. We also have dubbed our toaster Kevin (also in use almost every day).
Those are the main highlights! It’s so good to be back so I can share my kitchen and table with you!
Now let’s get cooking!
