They sat on top of my fridge for over a week while I racked my brain on something awesome to create. They had to sit on top of the fridge because if they were at eye level, they {Read More}
I’m a sucker for impulse buys. They get me all the time at the grocery store with their clever little displays of chocolate bars conveniently placed at the check out stand. It doesn’t end there. I can recall days when I was 100% sure I needed, no… NEEDED, the “Flex Belt” to effortlessly sculpt my abs while I sat on the couch and ate chocolate bars. My husband would chase me around the house while I was frantically trying to punch {Read More}
Is it just me or are you getting sick of winter too? Give me some sun, give me some tropics, give me some Virgin Banana Fosters. Banana Fosters is a deliciously rich dessert that is filled with spiced bananas and walnuts floating in an intense caramel sauce. It’s usually drowned in rum then flambéd to cook off the alcohol, but I skipped the alcohol to make this a family friendly dessert that will surely become a favorite. Don’t worry though, {Read More}

Yesterday I asked you on Facebook what your favorite cookie was. I can’t say I wasn’t shocked to find out that Chocolate Chip was at the top of the list. You were pretty specific that it needed to be a soft, chewy, and melt-in-your-mouth kind of Chocolate Chip Cookie. Amen! I couldn’t agree more.
