I think I could go for a cranberry muffin this morning 🙂

I had never seen Brussel sprouts growing. I found them fascinating, although not very tasty to me.

Disclaimer: I did not eat this cheesecake. I don’t like original cheesecake but I’m pretty sure this type of cheesecake tastes good. On Wednesday, I went to lunch…

I think it’s been almost two months since I’ve had chocolate. While I stopped the chocolate (I was a bit out of control) I probably had twice as…

We had another rainy, snowy, slushy weekend. I didn’t leave the apartment yesterday. The good thing about this weather is that I’ve been doing some cleaning and organizing….

My sister-in-law Melissa provided the hot chocolate station. Yes, she has her very own hot chocolate maker and it really whips up a creamy drink. Plus, all the…
