♫ Allow me to reintroduce myself, My name is ♫..... SUMMER!

Sooooo I did not pick the best time to start a blog. I'm still not completely sure how I will blog, go to school, and be a mom and wife but the good news for now is that "♫ School's out for summer ♫." Well sorta good news. I would prefer to get as many classes under my belt as I can but summer school is not really possible for me so I will be more present for the time being. Not that anybody even sees this blog yet but here's hoping. So don't let the lack of posts deter you from sticking around. The good news is that for both the fall and spring semester I pulled out with a 3.5. Yaaaay Me! Now let's get back to the good stuff. The sweet, spicy, sour, sticky, slightly burnt and all things scrumptious stuff.  Muah!

Where in the World is......

Hey Folks!

Finals are creeping up and I have 4 tests, 1 quiz, and a lab practical to go with 2.5 weeks of school left. Awesome, right? The good news is I have all A's, but I haven't had time for much else besides sleep and a slight existential crisis. Who decides to go back to school and take S.T.E.M courses when they have a full time job, husband and child? Me I guess. 

Anyhoo, I've been cooking and created several drafts to publish but haven't had time to apply the finishing touches. Hang in there with me! I meant to upload a few things this past Sunday but just wasn't able to get to it.

Oh, BTW, my oven is broken. Hilarious, right? No need to worry. Delicious crock-pot meals and stove top creations are still being concocted. I will post a few things by Saturday night I promise. Check in soon.

XOXO

P.S. Isn't Ms. Carmen Sandiego fabulously on point in that red trench coat? Rachel Roy says fiery reds are totally in this fall. Check out the Pantone colors and article here.
