Chunky Monkey Truffles [Ben & Jerry’s Week!!]
Sooooo I declare this week Ben & Jerry's Week.
It's what you do when you become increasingly obsessed with those damn delicious flavors of ice cream and when you kind of wish you lived inside of Ben and/or Jerry's head(s).
I have always had a special soft spot for Ben & Jerry's ice cream. I don't remember the first flavor I've ever had, but I do remember as a kid

Blueberry Pie Egg Rolls
Pleeeease tell me I'm not the only one spending 87% of my day on Pinterest? Because it really explains my lack of friends and funds yet overwhelming increase in wanting to make my own Febreeze or figuring out what the heck a 'Paleo' diet means without thinking of dinosaurs.
As a food blogger, it's kinda sorta in my job description to be on Pinterest for a good chunk of time.

Churro Donuts [Made with Zulka Sugar!]
OH MAH GOSH, GUYS.
You know when you find something TOTALLY AWESOME OMFG but you could (I guessssss) probably live without it and on one hand, you want to scream on the top of a mountain about your love for said thing, and convert everyone you know, but on the other hand, you want to warn people that this thing is SO AMAZINGLY OUTRAGEOUS that they'll become addicted or it'd

Cotton Candy Meringues
Is it possible to have a pre-mid-life-crisis? Because I think I'm having one.
I am just not really feeling this whole growing-up thing. The idea of working a 9 to 5 Monday through Friday gig literally gives me hives and makes me want to race to the mall for some retail therapy. Even looking at slacks and blazers and modest flats gives me sweaty palms. I meaaaaan.. no!
I

Peanut Butter & Jelly Twinkies
I'm currently in the midst of a serious dilemma.
It runs deep and is causing a definite riff between my family and I. And possibly soon, society and I.
You see.. I have a problem. A problem sometimes frowned upon by people of either gender, except for those who can appreciate and understand my problem for what its worth.
I have a problem...with guy cologne.
You see,

Banana Split Poke Cake
Recently, my sweet friend Ashton moved her little family into their own home! As a non-home owner myself, I can attest that this is VERY mature and responsible of her! 'Mortgage', 'HOA' and 'APR' are words I do not know of yet and want to shut my eyes and cover my ears and revert back to childhood by screaming songs from Barney when I hear them.
However, I DO enjoy shopping

Toffee Snickerdoodle Dip
Let's talk embarrassing moments, shall we?
Contrary to the fact that my cheeks flush a tomato red 50% of the day, I'm not really embarrassed by much. I have that ability to laugh off something mortifying or crack a self-deprecating joke without feeling like I need to crawl into a hole and go into Witness Protection.
I mean, everyone eventually walks out of a bathroom with

Reese’s Chocolate Potato Chip Cookies
I am an over-justifier.
I don't know where this need comes from, but I'm assuming it's in the same part of the brain that is convinced that layering deodorant is wise and that it will always be okay to sing Mary-Kate and Ashley sing-a-long songs. <--I sing this song literally 3 times a week at the minimum. I only wish I were exaggerating.
For instance, a

Homemade Tagalongs [5 Ingredients!]
So, Girl Scout season is over now, right?
They've come in a flurry of colorful boxes and charming chants and leave fat, sugar-coma'd people in their wake.
I tell you, those girls are on some kind of agenda.
Anywaaaaays. I was good and didn't buy one box this year! However, that doesn't speak anything in the way of my willpower (as in, I'm woefully
