January 1st you wake up so ready to take on the year. You have your check list of all the things you are going to tackle this year. If you are anything like me the first note is to be healthy. Drink more water. Eat more veggies. Train to run a marathon. Say see ya […]
Waffle It is going to be a small series I want to try this year. Featuring my favorite recipes cooked in my waffle maker. My brother bought me a book filled with lots of creative ways to use your waffle maker. I saw they had a recipe for banana bread which reminded me of this […]

The scene where little boy goes on stage and sits in front of this enormous chocolate cake. Using his hands to eat […]
