Happy Christmas Eve! I just wanted to pop in quickly to share a recipe for an awesome holiday treat I made Saturday night. As I mentioned earlier, I had an itch to bake because Saturday was quite chilly by Florida standards.

Weekend Breakfast: Whole-Wheat Strawberry Vanilla Pancakes
Weekend breakfasts bring back childhood memories for me. When I was younger, my brother and I used to wake up kind of early. When my stomach started grumbling after an hour of watching Scooby Doo, we would run into my parents’ bedroom. After poking, prodding and jumping on the bed, my dad would finally awaken, and we would beg him to make a special breakfast. Every weekend we … Continue reading »
WIAW # 8 Georgetown – Take Two
This week’s What I Ate Wednesday (WIAW) would have been B-O-R-I-N-G without dinner and a special stop in Georgetown after work. I rarely go out to eat, but Tuesday’s trip celebrated the completion of my Washington Center portfolio and final exam for Criminal Law and Procedure. You know what the pink box means, right? Georgetown Cupcake! (a.k.a. … Continue reading »
