Super Bowl XLVII

Wasn't that an exciting Super Bowl? I can say that I am not a huge football fan and didn't really watch any of the first half but that was because we were busy being good hosts and making sure people were getting fed and people were comfortable. By half time, I snagged myself a seat on the couch and was finally able to enjoy some food and a great performance from Beyonce  :) Then the lights out?! and then an action packed last few minutes of the game?! Like I said, not much of a football fan, but that was pretty exciting, even for me. Oh, and the Clydesdale commercial, omg adorable!

P.S. Don't you love my backdrop? hehe that is precious bf's beer pong table that happened to work out PERFECTLY for my photo shoot!

Not ready for fall yet - Lemon Berry Muffins

With most bloggers getting ready for fall and posting pumpkin this and that, I am not ready to go into the fall season yet. Summer berries have slowly started going off sale at the grocery store, and this makes me sad. Not only because it affects my green smoothies in the morning but because I love baking with summer berries as well. I am making this month the last of the summer berries recipe month!

Amish Friendship Bread & Printable Instructions

Click here to download SMALL Batch instructions.    Click here to download FULL Batch instructions. Anybody ever head of this?!?  Well the other day I was in the break room at work getting water and saw three bags of cream colored mush... Now I had seen these bags several weeks back and didn't pay much attention to them, but these strange looking bags were back, so I decided to stop and read the paper attached to them and saw "Amish Friendship Bread" with strange instructions like "Mush the Bag." Well still not really sure what the bag of goo was, I went back to Google, and read up on it.  It is similar to a chain letter, in the sense that once you get it, you must pass 3 more along.  So this bag of mush is really an active yeast mixture that is supposedly passed down from generation to generation steaming only from the Amish. Now I don't know how true this is, but it has definitely been circulating around my office for a month or so now.  Ev...
