triple chocolate truffles

April 5, 2012

Quite a few people have asked for this recipe after I posted a photo the other day. Not generally a fan of the teaser post, I figured I better get on the stick. So here I am, on a Wednesday night in front of Modern Family, in my post op haze of Vicodin, mashed potatoes [...]

indulgence

March 29, 2012

I don’t want to keep talking about how busy my schedule is lately. For the past week, my focus has been on relaxation, getting back on track and prioritizing my schedule. I have not included down time recently, and that realization was made, loud and clear. I have been unwinding and rejuvenating lately, and indulging [...]
