I know, I know… Another chocolate peanut butter post… What can I say, we just happen to love that flavor combo. Its actually quite scary the amount of peanut butter we go through, it seems to find its way into pretty much anything…
My Funny Valentine…
One week early or twelve months late… I guess it depends on your outlook really, glass half full or half empty? This is one of the many post that have stayed in draft format on this blog due to my inescapable ability to miss the tiny window tied to holiday themed posts. Work had…
Donuts worth dunkin…
Perhaps into a warm mug of mulled cider. Or would that be too much apple cider, or is there even such a thing as too much apple cider? Apple cider, another seasonal favorite of mine. Thick, and super sweet, served ice cold or piping hot, it wouldn’t be Autumn without it.
