This is a recipe that I’ve been holding on to for a while now.  Yes, I’ve been holding out on you, I have to admit it!  Please don’t hate me too much.   You will love me again once you try these blondies.  This recipe is one I have had written down in my book [...]

Happy Valentine’s week!  For me, it’s just another excuse to bake up some goodies and that I did.  It’s one of my absolute favorite holidays to bake because there’s so many cute themed treats!  I’m not even much of a fan of the holiday, but I do have to admit that the desserts are way [...]

So, I’m falling apart lately.  I have had an injured collar bone for over two weeks now from lifting something (or someone) heavy.  It’s kind of a long story.  Now to add to that, I have a sore throat that compares to the nastiness of the sore throat I had back in my mono days [...]

Welcome to my new favorite homemade brownie recipe!  This one is for all you Nutella fans out there (shout out to my friend of 16+ years, Megan!). For those who don’t know, Nutella is a spread made with a combination of roasted hazelnuts, skim milk and cocoa.  I know it isn’t actually healthy, despite what [...]
