Lately

This week (aside from working) I've been...

Unpacking (this is all that's left!! Whoo-hoo!!)

Painting,

Finally starting to see our garden grow. It's getting out of control...

Eating lots of easy greens,

watching a lot of baseball (still in 1st place!), 

and spoiling Jack with almost daily dog park outings. If anyone was wondering how he's been adjusting, I think this photo sums it all up. 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Been baking

In preparation to leave for the weekend (Vegas whoo-hoo!) I made some brownies. I love travel snacks and if I don't pack some goodies, I end up shopping for random food in the airport. Plus I have a feeling with the Giants in town, there will be guys around the house after the games. Here's the recipe:

1 cup (8oz) salted butter

2 1/4 cups sugar

1 1/4 cocoa powder

Pinch of salt

1 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp vanilla

4 large eggs

1 1/2 cups flour

Melt the butter over low/medium heat. Remove from heat and add sugar. Reheat mixture until it has a slick shiny look to it.

Move mixture into a mixing bowl. Stir in the cocoa, salt, baking powder and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating until smooth, then add flour. 

Bake at 350 in a lightly greased 9x13 pan.

Well, what did you expect? I told you the Giants are in town! Have a great weekend everyone!

All over the place

We headed to Bear Valley, to catch the last fresh snow we'll get this year. I'm definitely ready for the summer weather.

It was so warm, I actually got a little sunburned. SPF 30 you didn't help me all that much...

It's been all about baseball this week (Go Giants!!) and this wonderful weather we've been starting to get. Over 80 degrees 3 days in a row! Not too shabby after almost 2 weeks of rain.

When it ended and this rainbow came out, I definitely did a happy dance... Hopefully spring is here to stay!

On another note, I'm super excited about an Easter project I've been working on. Can you guess what it is?
