My friend got the recipe from Smitten Kitchen and I thought I’d share for all you chocolate lovers out there. You…

This past Sunday was exceptionally nice as I had been out…

I love it when we trade. If I go to the gym, he makes dinner. If I clean, he makes lunch. Sounds good to me. So today he made us some delicious chicken pesto…

Coffee Crumble Cake
I usually like baking my sweets and desserts from scratch, but this box mix from Trader Joe’s is just too easy and so good to pass up. It only costs $ 2, and makes enough to pair with our morning coffee for a week. If you’re a coffee cake lover like us, I highly recommend picking up a box and following the double layer topping directions. I hope you are…

Easy as Pie
I’m so happy the weekend is finally here! Erika and I went grocery shopping for our BBQ & board game night tomorrow. I’m responsible for bringing pasta salad, dessert, and wine. So of course, we made an apple pie, which is perfect for a summer night, and one of my favorite desserts to bake. I can’t wait to eat it 🙂
