Is it already February? For a second I thought we were headed for spring weather when it hit the high 40′s last week. Wisconsin weather is a cruel mistress though and as I write this it is -6 degrees Fahrenheit! One thing about the weather is that it gives me an excuse to run the oven to heat up our place (as if I needed an excuse!). I made these coffee cake-chocolate chip-cappuccino muffins for breakfast on a day off from school. They have so many delicious elements in them – espresso, chocolate and coffee cake!
I finished my last job interview last week looking at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City. Pat joined me, as well as two of our friends, and we spent the weekend at the Sundance Music Festival in Park City! Sundance has been on my bucket list for several years and I was so excited to hit the slopes and see some films. The weekend was a blast and I can’t wait to share photos!
