Hi, I'm Rachel.

A few years ago I could barely boil water.

True story.

Determined to be a kick ass wife, I developed a love for football and learned to cook in my tiny Jersey City kitchen. I spend my days working in Manhattan, my nights and weekends chasing after a rambunctious toddler, and the hours in between cooking with my husband and feeding my TV habit...oh, and I blog about it all!

A New Project + A Good Day

Hi friends!

I have to admit. I slept terribly last night. I'm still pretty tired today. But I don't care. Today is going to be a great day! And a great week to boot!

First of all, I could barely sleep last night if only due to a big announcement that I just couldn't wait to tell you about this morning. Along with my sisters Kimberly & Christine, we've started a brand new, shiny blog! Cue the paper streamers and party horns!

It's called The Peach & The Pit Of It (http://thepeachandthepit.com). Be prepared to hear from all 3 of us over there, talking about all kinds of things that we love and happenings in our very different lives. I talk about my sisters all the time on TAA, so I'm psyched that now you can hear directly from them too! So many of you have been such wonderful supporters of my blog and I hope that you will also check out our new venture :) I promise it will be a fun one!

Oh and don't worry...The Avid Appetite will continue as usual! I love this blog and all of you. It's my heart & soul and I just wouldn't ditch you all like that :) So keep reading. Please?

So with that in mind, I'm pretty excited over a few other things today too:

1. Tonight I'm meeting up with some other fantastic NYC bloggers, including Lauren @ Keep it Sweet and Kris @ Young Married Chic. I can't wait to meet some new bloggers and find some new blogs to obsess over! I love blogging!

2. In less than a week, I'll be heading to Aruba for my annual family vacation! {jumping up & down with excitement!}

3. I found a new breakfast that I'm obsessed with. It includes oats with a twist. And I promise, I will not become one of those bloggers who posts about oatmeal every day. I promise.

4. It's the return of DIY iced coffee! Ok, this one is significantly less exciting than the rest of the list...but I'm really looking forward to it this morning.

So that's what's going on with me. What kind of breakfast are you digging today? What's going on with you today? This week? How was your weekend?!

So many great and new things happening for you. YEAH to them all. The vacation sounds like a blast -kinda jealous at the moment= the new blog sounds exciting and fun and I am headed to check it out now and have fun meeting up with the bloggers. I wish I lived close enough to others so I could do that too. Weird but not that many texas bloggers on the web right now!

Cute blog and what a fun thing to start with your sisters! My best friend and I have been talking about starting a blog together... since we don't live near one another, it seems that blogging together would be a great way to stay connected.
