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 Tiramisu Bar, Love Grown Granola, Harry Potter + more

Happy Friday friends! It's felt like a long week. But a good one. I'm so ready for the weekend though!

A few fun things this week...

...I stumbled upon this Tiramisu Bar right near the Christopher St. Path station. I fell in love with the rice pudding bar in Soho, and now I am soooo excited to get my tiramisu on! Dolce Vizio Tiramisu is first on my list of places to try. What will they come up with next?

...I saw Harry Potter {finally}. I thought it was truly fantastic. The effects were wild, the story perfection. Ralph Fiennes = awesomeness. I cried an irrational amount. I can't wait to see it again :)

...I came home from vacation to a big box of granola from Love Grown Foods. Talk about a welcome home! I was so excited to dig in and it did not disappoint! My favorite part about this granola is that it tastes like I made it in my own kitchen - not store-bought like many other granolas or granola bars. Shaun and I will likely devour all of these bags in the coming days. The flavors include Sweet Cranberry Pecan (decidedly my favorite), Apple Walnut Delight, Raisin Almond Crunch, Simply Oats & Cocoa Goodness.

 

...I concocted a new scrambled egg sandwich that I can't wait to tell you about. Next week, I promise!

...Shaun and I continued watching The Walking Dead. I am officially obsessed. It's about a sheriff who is shot and in a coma for and undecided amount of time. When he awakes, most of the human population is gone...and they've been replaced by zombies! I know, it sounds so ridiculous...and it is. But it is SO good! Like Breaking Bad (another AMC show), The Walking Dead gives me anxiety at every turn. And to me, that's the sign of a good show.

...It's also the return of Jersey Shore! I know, it's terrible...but it's just good TV. I can't look away and I love it.

...I fell in love with OPI Austin-tacious Turquoise after rocking it in Aruba. It's pretty.

So there you have it. All the things I love this week. Now I am psyched to get through the work day and go get my license renewed (just kidding...not too excited about that one!). I am psyched to hang out at home tonight and just have a nice weekend!

Lots of wedding planning/work going on in our house this weekend. And hopefully some relaxing too. :)

I love Walking Dead! I yelled at the TV when the first (itty-bitty) season ended. I'm so glad it's been renewed!

That tiramisu bar sounds like so much fun! Really I like any dessert-themed places:-)

I need to give Walking Dead a try - so far you and I have had the same taste in TV and I'm willing to give this a try. Welcome back! :)
