Happy Sunday! In case you are wondering why my posts have been few and far between lately, well...it's because I've had a whirlwind of a month. At the end of January I was offered a job in Chicago, so my husband and I (and the doggies too) are moving back to my hometown!
Like most abrupt cross country moves, it hasn't been easy. Adam isn't able to leave Florida until the end of February, so I had to travel North without him. We also don't know where we are going to live (aka we are camping out at my parents). On top of that, I had to start work the day after I arrived, so I feel like I haven't had a moment to catch my breath since I landed.
Fortunately, the end of February is just around the corner, so I will be reunited with my plus one very soon. We are also on the hunt for our first home! And once we are settled, I will be back on track with regularly posting weekly dinner menus. Until then, please be patient with me.
To all my fellow foodies, if you have a recipe that you'd like to share, please let me know as guests posts are always welcome!
Thanks everyone for your continued support. I look forward to sharing many more recipes with you, like this comforting casserole for two.
