Puffy balls of sugar. I’ve got a thing for marshmallows. I like to eat them right out of the bag – unroasted. As a matter of fact, sometimes I dip them into the peanut butter jar as a snack. Marshmallows are also a camping staple. When w (read full article)

Sex in a pan. It’s an easy to make, light and fluffy dessert. However, lets be honest here, name is ridiculous. Using the name in a conversation never comes off well. Eg. Oh wow, this Sex in a Pan is delicious. Can I have some more Sex in a P (read full article)

Chocolate cake without a reason. Genius. I managed to miss every one of my family member’s birthdays this summer with the exception of my dad. My sister’s birthday was in July along with my grandpa’s. My mom and grandma both have A (read full article)

Peanut Butter. Those two words always get my attention – immediately. My mind races with questions like: Do you have peanut butter? Are we going to get peanut butter? How long until I have peanut butter in my mouth? And much to my husband’s d (read full article)
