what we’re eating

Anyone surprised that this is another pinterest recipe? I had been looking for an excuse to make a 5 pound chocolate bundt cake because well, I don’t know that it’s a good idea to have so much chocolate sitting in your house staring at you. But it is a good idea to bring 5 pounds [...]

May Bookclub

For May’s bookclub book, we read Trail of Crumbs by Kim Sunee. None of us particularly loved the book, it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t up to the caliber of some of the other books we have read. It was a lot like Eat, Pray, Love in my opinion. . . and I though Eat, [...]

I figured we could all have some yummy crumb cake before heading to [...]
