We've been talking about getting a dog for a while now, and said we wanted to get one after we got back from vacation. … Read More

I highly recommend getting one, especially if you make a lot … Read More

So, I made my peanut butter chocolate chip cookies for the healthier option, but I also wanted a dessert using apples, since they are so appropriate for the season. I found this yummy recipe on Good Things Catered. These apple cookie bars … Read More
