My inner 5-year old took control of my cravings yesterday. All I wanted was peanut butter and sugar. Not that I’m complaining. Any day that ends in a rich slice of homemade flourless chocolate cake topped with fresh strawberries and vanilla ice cream is okay by me! Dessert: Homemade Flourless Chocolate Cake “Ants on a [...]
When chocolate meets peanut butter the world seems right. With just a few simple ingredients and no baking required, you have a homemade treat guaranteed to satisfy. Let’s see here…we have creamy peanut butter (duh), Semi-Sweet Chocolate (double duh), unsalted butter, vanilla and powdered sugar. Confession: I used three different creamy peanut butter flavors.

A few days ago my co-worker and I had a discussion about peanut butter. The following sentence flew our of my mouth: “No one can say no to peanut butter, if you take one bite you just HAVE to go back for more!” Hi, my name is Nora and I am addicted to peanut butter. [...]

In all fairness, I am a big fan of the weekend in general, however; Sunday has a special place in my heart. Growing up Sunday was a time for family. We slept in, went to church and spent the day relaxing together over a luscious brunch prepared by my dad and hearty early dinner. Living [...]

New Year’s celebrations left me feeling exhausted yesterday. I’m one of those people that does not function well without sleep. After 8+ hours of rest last night, I felt renewed.
