I'm back!

Phew.. what a hectic couple of weeks. After two intense weeks of finals and papers, followed by the craziness of Christmas with lots of travel and family time, I was due for a break... but now I'm excited to be back blogging! I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable holiday filled with lots of family, love, good food and good times.  It's been so nice relaxing these past few days, spending time with my family (and seeing my new little nephew!), going skiing yesterday, catching up on sleep, and completely de-cluttering my house (it was about time...).  I've already put to use many of the wonderful new kitchen tools and cookbooks I got for Christmas, and below is one of the first new recipes I've tried. I can't wait to start updating my blog more regularly now that I'm revitalized a bit with lots of fun, new recipes to start off the new year! Enjoy!
