Pecan Pie Bars

My husband loves pecan tarts, so when I came across this recipe for Pecan Pie Bars, I knew that I had to try them out.  They were easy to make and tasted great.

Chicago, Illinois

One of the best things about living in Rockford for a season was the fact that Chicago was just a short drive away.  I was fortunate to make several trips into this wonderful city during our time in Illinois, and thought I would share a few of the things that we did while there.

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

I was so excited when we moved to Oklahoma City in the fall of 2011.  I was looking forward to a new adventure in a part of the US that I had never been to before, plus I heard that the weather was pretty awesome too!

We lived at The Lincoln at Central Park and enjoyed it a lot.  There were two gyms, two swimming pools, several bbq's, a pool table and a little dog park.  We lived in a two bedroom that was spacious and very reasonably priced.  Our friends lived in a three bedroom and it was really nice as well.

Rockford, Illinois

We lived in Rockford during the 2009/2010 hockey season at the Pembrook Place Apartments.  It was a nice, quiet, residential area.  There was a nice little gym facility as well as an outdoor pool.  Since we were there during the winter, we sadly did not get to take advantage of the pool, but it was a nice outdoor space.

I enjoyed Rockford in that everything was easy to get to.  Having lived in Toronto the year before, it was nice to be in a place that I felt comfortable navigating my own way around from day one.  The CherryVale Mall was a great place to spend an afternoon, and a little money!   There are lots of great stores to choose from, with a little bit for everyone.

Tampa Bay, Florida

In March 2009, my husband was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning.  Since we were only in Tampa for a short time, we stayed at a hotel until the end of the season.  We stayed at the Westin Harbour Island.  The staff was super friendly, we were within walking distance to everything that we needed and we had a great view from our room.

Toronto, ON

As some of you may know, my husband is a hockey player, so we move a lot.  Since we got married in 2008, we have lived in Toronto, Ontario; Rockford, Illinois; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and we currently live in Norfolk, Virginia.  Each summer we return home to Alberta. 

Over the coming week, I am going to share a little about what I loved from each spot. 

I will start with our first home, Toronto, Ontario.  We lived in a condo building at Fort York Blvd, and loved it.  We had a great gym and swimming pool and check out the view from our window!

Big Changes Are Happening!

I have become very inspired over the last month to grow my blog.  I have learned that the blogging world has so much more to offer than I ever expected and I am looking forward to learning a lot and developing this blog along the way.  I look forward to meeting new people, trying new products and recipes and visiting new places. 

As you can see, my stickers and business cards have inspired my new blog look.  A big thanks to Wisp-Stock for the original cupcake!  I would love to hear what you think about the new look, and hope that you will join me on this crazy adventure.  The more followers I get the more opportunities that will open up for Sprinkled With Love by deb, so please follow me today and come back to visit soon!

Promoting Sprinkled With Love!

I recently won a set of stickers and a set of business cards from two different giveaways that I entered.  I created the designs myself, and then sent them off to the companies.  My stickers are getting made by Print Runner and I am so excited because they shipped today!  I can't wait to receive them.  My business cards are through UPrinting and I just ordered them tonight so it will be about 2 weeks before I receive them.  I used the design of the sticker as the front of my business card and then added  little more information to the back.

Black Bottom Cupcakes

I had some bananas froze that I have been waiting to use for a while, so when I came across this recipe on Bakerella's website recently, I tried it that very day!  They are now long gone, but with more bananas in the freezer, I have a feeling I might get to enjoy them again soon.
