Sticky-Buns

I'm not sure why, but I'm craving sticky-buns right now. If I were in the mall, Cinabon would be the first stop, lets put it that way. But guess what, I'm in an office. So as you probably guessed, todays post will be a recipe for sticky-buns. My mom has a recipe for a less moist version, so I search a bit for a new recipe. And OH BOY, they look ridiculous!  The full recipe can be found here. And now on to the food porn. YUM.

New place! New shop!

OK, need to geek out for a quick second....WE GOT A NEW PLACE!!! I know i know...we don't move in till May. BUT OH EM GEE. i get to decorate and design and paint and everything else! I'm gushing I know. But anyways, I thought I'd show my terrible iPhone pics of the model, only b/c I want some input on the color scheme. We also bough a couch. Which was much more stressful then I'd ever have thought. (Wiggling one foot in the big girl panties...) 

Master Bedroom, they have tons of furniture in there, it is a much larger room than it looks like here.

So lately, like I mentioned earlier, I've been more about food then ever before in my life. I struggled a few years ago, (before I met the love of my life), with food in general and how my heritage focuses on food so much. I joked recently to a friend that no event, holiday or birthday—in my entire life—has been planned without a meal surrounding it. I guess I wanted to be as skinny as the models on TV. I guess I was restless and bored. But now in my mid-twenties, I want to taste everything. I want to taste the world. I've been trying stuff left & right. In Atlanta a few months ago, I ate sea urchin. OH BOY!  get ready for a texture fiesta! OK so the world is full of flavor, and I'm ready to taste it. I've not only tired a bunch of new foods, drinks and things I normally would have turned my nose up to, But i've started cooking much more than usual. I tired to find food blogs that I would be interested in. My mother, she finds joy in finding recipes in a book without photos. I, being a visual person, need to see what I'm making. I've turned to Real Simple  and America's Test Kitchen along with a few blogs. Real Simple has proven to be amazing. Simple, Yummy food that is easy to add into your weekly meals.

news, food & a few other things.

OK. So its been a while since a post. I know, so many things have changed, and my schedule is all out of wack. My apologies.

So a few changes have happened. New masthead. New design. More food. (YUM!)

I started off this year trying to be happier, healthier and in general a more smiling person. I started off strong, and hit a rut, but I'm back in action. So I am going to pull a Julia & Julia moment and try to create an entry once a day, for the rest of the year! I believe that leaves: 319 days of blogging. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that I'm def going to be able to do it. But its worth a try!  YAY!

Okay so I promise more entries, more food, and a happier blog in general!
