So, the day is here. I've launched my blog into its own website. I have wanted to do this for a long time now and I am so excited that it has all come together (thanks to my big bro, Brett for the help). The website should provide you with improved viewing capabilities and better accessibility (plus, it's so much prettier). I'd love to hear your feedback on the new site and, of course, on any blog posts. Check out my new contact page to send me a quick note.

I can't think of a better day to launch my new website than on Friday, just in time for "Friday Sunshine".

On Sunday, I met my mom and her friend, Karen at a wine tasting. Good thing, because now my favorite wine rack has some life to it again. I picked up a few Sauvignon Blancs, Cabernets, a blend, and one Prosecco (my favs).

Don't you love that the days are getting longer? It's more noticeable at night, but, the mornings are getting lighter earlier, too. On Wednesday, I went for a run at 6am. What better way to start the day than with a run on the water overlooking the sunrise? Sounds super cheesy, but, you know you love it, too.

On Thursday, I went to Pigalle with Janet, Kim, & Rachael. It had been a while since we all caught up together. We had a blast and the food was phenomenal. Let me know if you'd like to see a review on it. It was probably one of the best meals I've had since "Sportello".

Easter is being hosted by my Mom & Dad this year. All immediate family members are in charge of either an appetizer or a dessert. For some reason, I always get stuck with dessert (I guess that means they like it :). I prefer cooking to baking because it's not a science like baking is. But I digress... I'm making the below "lemon cakes". I made them a few years ago and they were a hit! The difference is that I will make them in round cake pans rather than bundt pans (because that's what I have). I think it actually makes them even moister!
