...you know you're weird when you start dreaming about baking! Either that or you're on a crazy restrictive fad diet... Call it the latter for me last week. Anyway, other than a good jolt in the weight loss department, the baking dream inspired a really good dessert! Okay. Here's how it went. I'm in … [Read more...]
A Marriage Made in Heaven
It's a simple equation: I love coffee. I love Baileys. Ergo, I love coffee and Baileys. It's simple. It's easy. It's classy.
