Now, in keeping with the tradition of receiving a Stylish Blogger Award, I have to state 7 things about myself, and award other bloggers that I have discovered. So here it goes...
1.) I am obsessed with the FRIENDS TV series and have watched every single episode at least 3 times if not more.
2.) I live in Massachusetts and have never been to Cape Cod.
3.) I am a competitive Latin Ballroom dancer and have trained with people such as Karina Smirnoff, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and Jean Marc Genereux.
4.) My favorite actor is Adam Sandler and I hope to meet him someday (and maybe even my favorite band - Aerosmith).
5.) I never use to cook - not even toast!
6.) My best friend from high school is now the man I am in love with and live with! :)
7.) I have fallen in love with food blogging and hope to be able to put this blog to even further use... maybe report on food/wine tasting events etc...
I hope you enjoyed my recipe and reading up on my little tidbits. Here are some other great blogs that I love and have recently discovered:

Celia at Cookbook Archaeology
Muriel at Cook Bake & Decorate
Eftychia at Dream of Cakes
Trish at Dish by Trish
