Recipe Successes!

There is nothing I hate more than trying a new recipe and absolutely hating it. I have been having killer luck lately and thought I'd share!I made these avocado egg rolls (a Cheesecake Factory favorite of mine) and they were delicious! They originially had 1/4 of onion, but after tasting them I've decided not to use the onion next time haha. (Original recipe found here.)Next up: banana chocolate chip...

Bathing = Worst

Guys. I keep trying to be a bath person and it just is not working. I was told that using epsom salts can help you feel less stressed. Also, water simluates touch and is supposed to be calming to us as well. So, I decided to give this bath thing another whirl on Friday night while Jake was at a birthday party for a friend.IT DID NOT GO WELL. It started out harmless enough. I filled the bath...

Cocoa and Cookies

But, I am a snow baby so I still wanted to go up there with Jake and picnic in the car. On the way up, there was like a foot of snow on everything! Haha! So, it would have been pretty much impossible to have...
