This evening is quite dreary in Orlando. All poor Sadie wants to do it play outside, but the never-ending rain is hindering her plans.
At least the rain makes for a cozy night in… watching The Bachelorette! 
A cozy night in requires warm food. I love one-bowl meals for easy, peasy dinners that have a lot of flavor.
Tonight’s meal included smoked turkey sausages, sautéed onions and steamed broccoli.
On the side we also enjoyed warm, freshly-baked muffins that I made while experimenting in the kitchen this afternoon as part of a freelance project I’m working on.
Recipe to come tomorrow!
I’m off to watch The Bachelorette and the Bentley-Ashley reunion. I have a feeling I’m going to want to kick Bentley in the balls while simultaneously wishing I could give Ashley some balls. Balls!
See ya on the PBF Facebook page for some Bachelorette discussions tonight or tomorrow morning (depending on the intensity of the episode and whether or not we can contain ourselves). Oh, and I love JP. And Ames must have dentures. Holy grill.

I’m snuggling up for the same kind of evening… throwing my snarky comments about how lame Ashley is at the TV 😉
Your dinner looks so comforting! I love easy meals like that – so simple and delicious.
I want the winemaker. Ben something…. JP is nice too…I see her with JP with most of any of the guys I think! A man who could make me my own wine, however….perfffeccctttt. Bentley still sucks.
i like the wine guy too, but couldn’t get over the “should we kiss, i want to kiss, no we shouldn’t kiss” business that was going on between them last week. i was dyyyying. i felt like they were in 7th grade!
Wine makers are sexy!!! My husband is in the wine business hehe…
Ben’s winery is supposedly in Sonoma (where I am living), anyone know what the winery is called?!
From what I understand it is EVOLVE WINERY.
Hmm haven’t heard of it.. I want to find it and go wine tasting there. Hopefully Ben will be pouring and I can get some insider Bacherlorette info 🙂
I love JP too! He’s by far the best one on the show.. and don’t get me started on Bentley!..
The muffins look great! Enjoy the show. It always sucks me in:)
Oh dear, Ashley again ! Aggravation central.
Jp is my favorite- he is so manly and sweet at the same time!
I cringe every time Ashley wines about Bentley- I hate feeling embarassed for other people!! Is that weird?! Lol
No that is not weird at all, and it happens to me all the time! I always cringe for people on the tele, haaaaa! And jes, JP forthewin!
I have a feeling I could be throwing something at the tv during the Bentley-Ashley reunion. And then maybe some drooling will occur over how awesome and cute JP is :).
If Ashley says “dot dot dot” one more time I am going to scream!!
and LOL at Ames’ grill comment!
I know!!!
I LOVE JP! I am starting to like Ben F as well, even though I did not find him attractive in the beginning. He’s growing on me.
She definitely needs BALLS!!!! Get Bentley outta there!
Hahaha i loved this post! I think everyone who watches this show wants to kick Bentley in the balls! I cant wait to see what happens!
hahaaa serrrrriously! Watching it right now!
omg Bentley is the WORST! But Sadie is definitely the best 🙂
Rainy nights are the worst when dogs want to play! Charlie could live outside if I let him!
Stop being so funny. It’s getting embarrassing when I loudly laugh and then everyone looks at me.
freshly baked muffins?!?! can’t wait for recipe!! 🙂
that buttah looks like perfection
Can’t wait for the recipe!
Don’t hate me but I just could NOT get into the Bachelorette this season 🙁
I crave warm comforting meals when the weather sucks too. It’s funny how my dog only ever seems to want to go out when it is raining though. Figures! 🙂
I am excited for tommorow now, muffin recipes 🙂 nomnomnomnomnom
Poor Sadie stuck inside! I can barely even get my dog to go outside to use the bathroom when it’s raining!
My mom just told me yesterday that Bentley was a student at the high school where my dad was the principal, and my parents had several dinners and such with his parents. Small world, right? I guess they are very strict Mormons, and my mom was shocked at some of the stuff he has said on the show! I am so glad she is moving on from him finally!
P.S. I just made your flourless pb cookies…shut the front door they are so good..
can’t stop at 1
ugh I HATE BENTLEY.. SO hope its over with!!!
Can’t wait to see what that delicious muffin is all about:)! This season of the Bachelorette is driving me CRAZY! This better be the last we see of Bentley!!! I can’t wait until the reunion show to see her reaction to all of the horrible things he has said!
awww, poor Sadie! That picture makes me so sad. Your night in sounds nice though. 🙂
When I read COZY night I immediately thought of BentleyBentleyBentley’s daughter and the name they inflicted on her!!
Two letters: J.P.
I love love love his demeanor. And his smile is just plain ‘ole adorable.
Ah, I’ve been craving muffins lately and have been dying to make some.. I don’t know why i haven’t yet actually haha. I think because I live alone, I never know what to do w them.. Can’t wait to see what kind you made.
ps. The Bachelorette is ridic, I love it.
Its actually NOT raining up here in Michigan for once!! Can’t wait for the recipe tomorrow!!
hello amazing ONE bowl dinners. Yumm. You should check out Drop Dead Diva episodes (3 season just started). Amazing!!
HATE Bentley. Ugh! And I think Ryan is annoying, too! Love, love, love JP though:-) And Ames’ teeth are not real. His eyes are wayyy far apart, too!!
Mickey is quite the looker I’ve decided! and i like ames, think he is sweet.
I like him too, but I am blinded by his chompers.
Bentley’s veneers make me want some shades.
Ashley’s whining makes me want to turn off the T.V.
…but I just caaaaan’t.
Ha. I can’t wait for the Bachelorette recap tomorrow. 🙂
Sounds like such a lovely evening! Enjoy!
poor sadie! my cat wants out on the porch now, but neither of us want to supervise her outside so she has to suffer inside too. poor thing. 🙂 she’s already had her outdoor time though!
Oh gosh yummm @ that muffin with butter melting on top
I love rainy nights in, but poor Sadie! 🙂
YUM can’t wait for the recipe
and um…totally love JP even more after this episode…think he may be TOO good for Ashley though…
Your dinner look yummm! JP is my fave, too. He is just so dang cute…and confident, which is totally sexy!
For some reason, the whole Bentley/Ashley thing seems so staged to me? It’s kind of disappointing because I got such a “real” vibe from her on the Bachelor. She was my favorite!
The muffins look great! There is just nothing in the world like a freshly baked, warm from the oven muffin with a pat of butter 🙂 Looking forward to the recipe!
ashley’s best moment thus far…telling Bentley through the camera her new feelings about him tonight
hallelujah. what a terribly addicting show!!!
i still cant decide who my favorite is either!
just opened my new little blog for viewing btw!
Yummmmm, those muffins look delicious!
Oooo I can’t wait for the muffin recipe, they look GOOD!
I absolutely LOVE your blog (this is my first time commenting)!! I couldn’t help but crack up at your remarks about the Bachelorette….I completely agree 100% about JP! He is definitely a cutie-pie! And you are so right about Ames…I couldn’t figure out what was going on with his teeth…it’s gotta be dentures! haha
Hahahaha! You’re too funny E.B!
Ok here’s the breakdown:
Bentley just wants drama for attention.
Constantine and wine dude look the same.
Ryan is a cheeseball.
JP is the cutest eva.
Blake is hot. He should come vist.
If Mickey hadn’t left he’d been voted off anyway.
Ames will be in the final 3.
This is honestly the most dramatic season yet. Oofta.
I seriously love JP, I just want her to end the show now and be with him. I cannot wait until next week to see what the drama is!!!!
Ok, this is one of the few times I’ve felt like I wish we had cable again. The bachelorette sounds pretty entertaining this season.
mmmmm muffins are my weakness. I would totally eat muffins every meal for the rest of my life. Can’t wait for the recipe!
PS- I am proud of Ashley! I think she gave him what he deserved 🙂
