Each week it gets a little bit harder to think of something to say to go along with my Friday Favorites. I’d love to have some great witty introduction paragraph, but I come up with nothing. It’s not that the recipes aren’t good… I find tons of incredible recipes each week! So, this week, I’m just…
This month was one of my favorite challenges since I started Kitchen Bootcamp last April (can you believe it’s been over a year now?)… We all know that I am a big fan of desserts (especially ice cream), so I had great hopes for this challenge. While I didn’t have nearly as much time as…
