Once December hits, I am all about Christmas cookies and candy ALL THE TIME. I saw a picture of “rocky road” and assumed it was a kind of fudge. Much to my delight – this is simply a super jazzed up chocolate bar. I am *obsessed* with Tony’s Chocolonely, (which is one of the few … More The Easiest Holiday Rocky Road

I feel like I’m the last person in the world to try the pumpkin muffins at Starbucks. I’m more of a savory breakfast person as it is, so it’s super rare that I’m going to go for something in the bakery case.

I’ve always considered peaches to be my favorite fruit, but unless they are absolutely perfectly ripe, they’re pretty much meh.

Despite it being 85 degrees outside, I’m still baking 🤷🏼♀️. These blondies are so easy to make, only require 7 ingredients, use one bowl, and are done in just about 25 minutes.

I’m calling these breakfast bars. Originally it was simply to justify eating them standing at the counter at 8am, but now I’m passing this rite onto you.
