I would love to tell you that I know what happened….why I haven’t blogged in SO.LONG.  But honestly, it was just a bunch of things strung together closely in time that was just too much to handle. And so as with all things in life, something had to give. I am sad it was the blog, but I’m ready to come back!

While I’ve been gone, my sister gave birth to my second, precious nephew, Beckett Samuel Fadden, Riley turned 2 and I went to Indonesia and Singapore for a month. WHAT?!  Gosh, I was really busy, wasn’t I?

Wellllllll, back to the grind, okay?  I am ready, and I have material to blog about as far back as FEBRUARY people! (sick, I know)

To get things back to normal, here’s a dinner I threw together after work one night, when Poodle (aka Adam) and I decided to do a beach dinner at Magnolia’s light house beach (I have no idea what it’s really called, but it’s inside of Discovery Park and that’s what I call it!)

I threw together some quick dishes that used up some items I had laying around that needed to be consumed.  Our menu was :

• Tuna salad club sandwiches
• Cold penne salad with cheese, tomatoes, capers and truffle dressing
• Organic apricots (that were the size of my fist) with nonfat greek yogurt, local honey and cinnamon

 And here’s my number one buddy, Adam, relaxing as we watched the sun set over the Olympics:

Thanks for your extended patience during my absence and let’s get back to the food, shall we?!
