Earl Grey Cupcakes
Earl Grey was the first real tea (i.e. not powdered iced tea crystals) that I ever tried, and I have loved it ever since. I remember my grandparents drinking orange pekoe tea, black, every afternoon, but it never appealed to me. However, when my friend made me a cup with a bit of sugar and a splash of cream, I was on my way to a lifelong love affair with tea,
One of my coworkers also happens to love Earl Grey, so I made him these special cupcakes to celebrate his Spartan trifecta success.

K&C's Tomato Ravioli Soup
One of my best friends recently announced that she and her husband are moving across the country to be closer to his family - cue the waterworks - which got me thinking back to when we met in college. We met through a mutual friend and happened to have the same break between classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Many a lunch hour was spent together in the college bar and grill, talking, laughing and even crying over our standard order of grilled cheese and tomato ravioli soup. Every time I eat this soup, it reminds me of those days.

Overnight Oats
I have always loved a good bowl of porridge - simple, warm and comforting. Instant oats just never tasted quite as good, but cooking breakfast just doesn't work for me most days. I am usually in the office by 6:30, I don't want to eat right when I wake up, but I don't like skipping breakfast. Once I learned how to make overnight oats, I was hooked. They are the porridge of my childhood, all grown up!

Tortellini Salad
I still remember the packaged pasta salad kits that were sold when I was a kid - and how much I disliked the weird dressing mix! However, my dad's company always had an annual family picnic and they always served an amazing chilled tortellini marinara. Pasta salad, but better, right?
I like to combine those childhood memories and use delicious, cheese-filled tortellini with a simple, creamy dressing!
