I think we bought a house!!! We had planned on building, and were very close to closing on a lot. In the end the neighborhood was not going to be good for our family so we started over. Unfortunately building is not an option where we want to be, so we have been looking at existing houses. Yesterday we went to one we really liked. It wasn’t perfect, but it had a lot of the stuff we wanted, and are very excited about it. After talking back and forth (the house isn’t on the market yet), I think we have come to an agreement! We won’t move in for a couple months, because they are building a house and waiting for it to be done. But to know we have a house is such a huge relief. The funny thing is it is only 2 block from where we are renting, so it will be the shortest move ever!
Here is what I was up to this week:
Red Velvet Muffins – Red Velvet isn’t just for dessert anymore! These muffins are fun and delicious!
Nutella Brownies – Super fudgy brownies with tons of Nutella flavor
French Bread Dinner Rolls – Soft and fluffy french bread dinner rolls
Jordan Almond Crusted Chicken – A twist on the classic Jordan Almonds
Love Bloggers – Showing a little love to bloggers, and learn a little more about me
Here are a few things I bookmarked this week:
Brown Butter Parmesan Chicken Linguini by How Sweet It Is- I have yet to try browned butter (gasp!), but this pasta looks amazing!
English Muffin Bread by One Good Thing – I love English muffins, and fresh bread this sounds delicious!
Peanut Butter Cup Pie by Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice – Chocolate and Peanut Butter has to be the best combination ever! This pie looks sinful!
Snickerdoodle Blondies with Cream Cheese Frosting by Loves Veggies and Yoga – I am slightly obsessed with blondies. Cinnamon is a huge hit at my house, these sound delicious!
Butterfinger Brownies by Recipe Girl – I am a sucker for brownies, and you just can’t beat Butterfingers!
I hope you have a great weekend!

Thanks for linking up my snickerdoodle blondie bars…I love blondies, too. And lots of frosting
Thanks for all the other links..it all sounds fab!
Yay!! I know you will be happy to be officially settled! Congrats on the new house. Of course I have to ask… does the new house have a great kitchen you can see yourself cooking in? I hope so. I can deal with all the other rooms.. but the kitchen must be the best part of the house for me.
Ramona – The kitchen is great! It isn’t my dream kitchen, but it is definitely beautiful and tons of space! I am looking forward to getting in there and unpacking all of my stuff! There are also 3 HUGE windows right there that gets tons of sun, so that will be super nice!
That’s awesome Erin! I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for you that it works out!!

Congratulations on the house find! I will keep my fingers crossed that everything continues to go smoothly with it and that the sellers’ house building stays on schedule. That’s awesome news.
You’ve been busy in the kitchen. I love it.
One of my moves was 3 blocks away. It was easy in some regards but I didn’t plan nearly as well because of it. Big news – congratulations!
Yay on the house!!! I KNOW what a relief it is to finally find the right place. Congrats on that and I can’t wait to see whatever pics you might decide to share with us in the future.
Love all the recipes you have up this week… now to figure out what to try to make first hehe
Congrats on a week of fantastic food and a serious lead on a house
I know all too well how frustrating the in-between periods when you’re slightly displaced can be. Glad to hear the end is in sight!
Another delicious week! Congratulations on the house….and that WILL be a short move, but when you’re done, it’ll be YOURS! I’m thrilled for you, Erin!
Congrats on finding a house! I know how it can be finding, buying, selling a house (we’ve done it all recently!) I haven’t tried brown butter either, but it’s on my list too. Hope you have a great week!
