Give Yourself Some Grace
Is the advice I was given last week. We are going through a time with unprecedented stress and confusion. That being said, I had to take time to think about it.

Healthy for Covid-19
This situation is stressful. I won’t sugar-coat it. One article is telling you that it’s no big deal and another is telling you that schools are closed for a month and all your friends are posting on their Instagram stories how they are working from home.

Peanut Butter Peanut M&M Blondies
It’s not a secret that I LOVE all things peanut butter and these blondies are heaven. They are a thick and sweet with the perfect peanut M&M crunch. The batter is thicker than you are probably used to for blondies or brownies, but don’t worry because they will fluff right up in the oven. If … Continue reading Peanut Butter Peanut M&M Blondies
