My future sister-in-law, Lexie, sent me this recipe on Pinterest a couple of weeks ago, with the message “I want this.” When I went and looked at the recipe, I had to agree- I wanted this too. Chocolate and banana bread aren’t two things that I would have thought would be too terribly great together,… Continue reading Double Chocolate Banana Bread
Somehow, my baby boy turned 3 last weekend. I gave birth to him, and then I blinked, and here we are. Charlie’s favorite thing in the entire world is chocolate.

I think we can all agree that there is… Continue reading The Best Way to Clean and Roast Perfect Pumpkin Seeds
