January 27, 2010

So I am still working on perfecting the dessert menu for the women’s event coming up at church in a couple of weeks.  Those yummy Key Lime Bars definitely made the cut.  But I knew I needed at least one or two chocolate based recipes.  What would a church event for women be without chocolate?!? 
Thanks [...]

January 15, 2010

Of course there was [...]

January 11, 2010

Last year I jumped on the bandwagon and declared a word of the year for 2009.
I dedicated a Christmas tree to the word…
