Holiday Cooking

After an amazing holiday season with the best family, friends and quality time with my man I'm back from my break.  No work, no posting for a few weeks has been a great way to disconnect, aside from the occasional FB post and recipe research I was offline and enjoyed it.  Also, our new computer was getting repaired at HP (I wont even get into that long story).

During my tecnology break I was a couch potatoe and domestic goddess...my two total opposite personalities that are at constant conflict.  I am prone to total laziness and could have spent all 14 days off on the couch with my new Roku, Xbox and reruns of Sex in the City but at least once a day I performed some intense project around the house.  Thats what I call work/life balance.

Cooking is the one thing I did not take a break from during my vaca.  There have been stews, soups, roasts, endless baked goods, compound butter and more soups.

My other new toy and obessesion is my fancy pants camera that I got for Xmas from my amazing boyfriend who encourages me to cook and be creative and generally crazy.

That said my next few posts will be picture crazy!!

Here's a few highlights, recipes to follow:
