Last weekend, B and I went camping with a few friends. Each person was in charge of bringing a specific food item, and in addition to bringing lunch for Saturday, we were slated to also share in bringing dessert. In fact, next to desserts, the list read, “Snacks & Desserts…

I’m not an outdoorsy type of person. Yes, I love hiking, running, sunning myself, going for walks – but there are also a lot of things that I don’t like about the outdoors, like bugs, wildlife, dirt and nowhere to plug my phone. So when B and I hit the…

I’m a creature of habit. Whenever I have old bananas, I make banana muffins. I think B sometimes deliberately leaves 3 bananas to turn brown, just so I’ll make him muffins. I’ve probably made this banana crumb muffin recipe 6 times already this year. Don’t get me wrong – the…

My friend from high school, Lauren, has a blog that I read every so often. Yesterday, she introduced me to Dallas Clayton – and I instantly became enamored with his words, poetry, artwork, and messages. So for today, I leave you with some words to live by and words to…

The last time Giant Eagle had a seafood sale, I found myself buying a giant can of lump crab. It was nearly half price, and I love anything crab (crab nachos! Crab quesadillas! Crab dip! even fake crab krab) tasting, so how could I go wrong? It sat in my fridge…

Today, in addition to watching the Browns game, doing laundry, going for a run and doing some work, I was a baking and cooking machine. I roasted tomatoes, made fresh pesto, baked banana bread and even made some cookie dough balls. That’s right – cookie dough balls. Who needs cake…

September 2, 2012

My coworkers got together for yet another potluck last week, and instead of bringing my usual — dessert! — I decided to bring an appetizer. I have so many appetizers pinned that I haven’t gotten to try out yet, but decided to find an easy, low fat recipe from one…

I’m back from an amazing girls weekend in DC! I had such a good time laughing, drinking wine, eating, gossiping, and exploring the area with Jane and Melgar. Instead of a wrap up post — where I’d share with you details of our Friday night wine and Mediterranean dinner, Saturday…

TGIF! I am so excited and ready for this weekend. Not because of the busy past few weeks and upcoming weeks I have in store – but because this weekend I’m having a mini-reunion with two of my best friends from middle school – Jane and Melgar! It’s kinda crazy…

I don’t know what it is, but it seems like every Tuesday I have happy hour plans this summer. Not that there’s anything wrong with happy hour on Tuesday (or Wednesday, or Thursday, or Friday), but lately, Tuesdays seem to be rocking. Taco Tuesday? $1 Burgers? Bogo Burgers and trivia?…

Hello,

I’m Melissa

Welcome to I Crashed The Web — proof that I’ve been oversharing online since the early days of blogging. It started as a blog (back when that was cool), morphed into a mom blog (when that was cool), and now it’s my happy place for all the things I love: running, baking, reading, traveling and life with my family of five.
