It's been a while!

Holy Crap! It's been a long time since I've written on here. Needless to say I have a ton of updating to do! In the past 4 months, my husband and I have moved into our home, adopted a rescue dog (who is adorable in her own little mutty way), completely remodeled the kitchen, and are completely exhausted.

First, the kitchen. It's beautiful and functional, while not completely finished. We still need to ass backslash tile and trim work around the windows. A few electrical things need completed as well, but despite all that I CAN COOK AND BAKE IN MY OWN KITCHEN!!! And believe me, I have been doing just that. And I get to entertain. Woot! I was asked to make cupcakes for my brother-in-law's wedding and of course I said yes. I even had people over for a cupcake tasting before showing them what I made. We have people over for dinner frequently and I'm just so freakin' ecstatic about it! I literally have not words that can come even close to describe how awesome it feels to have our own, unrented space! So with that said, prepare for more recipes and pictures to come in the near future!!!

Also, this is our dog, Daphne. She's about 6 months old. Here are a few pictures of her from when we first got her to as of a few days ago!






Needless to say, she had a rough start with us. We adopted her with a broken leg. There was concern that she may have to have her leg amputated if it did not heal properly. My husband and I did not care at all. She was so cute and energetic. If she didn't have a fourth leg her thought process would have been "one less leg to get in my way". After her leg healed we were able to officially adopt her and then she was bit by another dog, hence the Cone of Shame. She had made a full recovery from both injuries and neither of them seem to hold her back. She runs around like crazy and loves playing with other dogs. She keeps us on our toes!

Make sure to keep checking for more recipe updates. Perhaps I'll even have to through in a few dog treat/food recipes since I have a live in taste tester now.
