Loaded Baked Potato Dip


The day has finally arrived and I couldn't be more excited! Tonight, I embark on my adventure to Cuba! My friends and I have been planning and discussing everything for the weeks leading up to today and we've been bouncing off the walls all day.

It's been difficult to focus on much of anything else, which made class this morning a bit tricky to pay attention to! I am so looking forward to a week of lounging on the beach, soaking up the sunshine and throwing my cares to the wind. Let's hope the Cuban "stormy season" doesn't put a damper on this vacation.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pillows


The countdown is on, my friends...T-minus 4 days until I am in sunny CUBA!!! This is a much needed vacation and I cannot wait to sink my feet into the warm, sandy beach.

Only one more assignment stands between me and my week of freedom. I can see a light at the end of the tunnel!

Bacon & Brie Quiche


Growing up as a child, I used to HATE quiche. Every time my mom made it I would whine and complain about it, and then proceed to sit at the table and pick it apart while not really eating it.

Bless my mother's heart, I think she made just about the most bland quiche in an attempt to get me to eat it. No peppers, no onions, nothing but egg and cheese. It was essentially just scrambled eggs in a pastry crust.

And yet, I still wouldn't eat it...I was such a brat when it came to eating different foods..

Butterscotch Shortbreads


The workload and unrelenting school is starting to get to me. I am tired always and am really pining for summer vacation. In an attempt to combat these school woes, a few friends and I planned a trip to Cuba! We are leaving in two weeks which, as exciting as it may seem, is equally terrifying because it means I only have two weeks to complete a TON of work!

I know I will get it done, but I feel like I'm standing at the bottom of a cliff and someone is telling me to start climbing...
