This weekend I went to my first Ravens game ever! Which is kind of surprising given that I’ve lived in Baltimore for the better part of eight years. Aaron had four tickets so he invited the GS and I to go. We had amazing seats, but I still kept finding myself watching the Jumbo-tron even though…

eggplant burrata bruschetta
I saw something very offensive in a grocery store in DC a few weeks ago. WHY in the middle of summer is my only option for basil a few old leaves in a plastic container?! I was furious. This is more like it. A+, Wegmans. I was able to work from home in Camillus…
15 minute spaghetti squash
I’m feeling a little bit like my life is in shambles right now, so I’m going to teach you how to make a healthy dinner in the microwave! I’ve made spaghetti squash before, but I stuck it in the oven which takes foreeeever. I lack patience. WAIT. I just looked up the last time I blogged…
eggplant parm salad
The barn wedding was PERFECT. I made 200 cookies, 100 grilled cheese sandwiches, and 1 dress. (Mine, not the wedding dress.) But my contribution was nothing compared to everything that my Aunt Pat and my mom did to pull this thing off. It was beautiful. Who doesn’t love a canoe filled with beverages? Friday night…
shredded italian pork
Here’s hoping this is the last meal I make in the crock pot for at least 8 months. Not that I don’t love a nice easy slow cooker meal, but I’m ready for light and fresh spring and summer food. I think we all are. Yesterday was the Irish Stroll in Federal Hill, and it…
pasta bolognese
This weekend the GS went to Chicago and therefore I became even more of a recluse than usual. I spent 8 hours at school on Saturday, went to bed at 10:00, and finished a book on my Kindle. It was The Bone Season, by the way, which is supposedly the new Hunger Games. But I…
butternut squash and couscous stew
I think I had lost sight of how ridiculous group fitness music was until the other night when I was in a Body Attack class and we warmed up to a techno remix of “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” I later told the GS this and he told me HE’S NEVER HEARD THAT SONG BEFORE. Mind….
super simple 20 minute tomato sauce
This is my last week of freedom before classes begin. I’ve been doing a little lifeguarding and BodyPumping, but mostly I can just sit around. It’s also given me the opportunity to watch The Today Show each morning, which keeps getting worse and worse but for some reason I just can’t look away. Al Roker…
bruschetta chicken
We had our housewarming party this weekend! Lots of friends came in from out of town (not my friends, Kelly’s friends.. but I pretend they’re mine). We had a full house, a full roof deck, and a full Gatorade cooler of something Aaron called Par 3 Punch. I’m not a big drinker at ALL, but…
spicy garlic shrimp & feta skillet
It’s 7AM and I’m watching last Thursday’s Glee on demand. Uhhh… I don’t really have anything interesting to report. I have three weeks left in the semester, and then a week off before I start again for the summer. Meanwhile, everyone else my age who went to grad school will be graduating, and I’ll be…
