We could also call this the recipe that uses 3 forms of coconut. Guess I was in a coconutty mood when trying to come up with a chocolate pairing for this month’s Recipe Redux. Is it weird if I admit that I’m not really a big chocolate fan? Not that I’ll turn it down (well, I will turn down cheap chocolate. I think it tastes like waxy dirt) but it normally requires me to be in the mood for chocolate. I’m definitely not…
Read moreI think we can all agree that I’m no one’s epitome of normal. For starts, I fell out of a parked car (sober) a solid week ago and no one was even surprised. I sing songs about my cats. I regularly wear fossil necklaces and even have a shirt with gold glittery dinosaur fossils on it. So really, the fact that I have dinosaur cookie cutters shouldn’t come as any surprise to anyone.

If you know anyone in mid-Michigan looking for a fur baby of their own, please let me know! He loves cuddling and watching TV.

If you’re not familiar with water…
Read moreI sit here writing this while enjoying my first Chestnut Praline Latte of the season. Somehow, Michigan was randomly selected as one of the places to product test last year, so I drank approximately 8 billion last year and have been impatiently waiting 9 months to be have another one. Starbucks is not paying me to say this (but they could if they really want to, I accept free lattes) and this is no way related to the rest of the post, I just…
Read moreNormally this is the time of year when I start winding down. True, everyone is busy with prepping for holidays, but all of my studies at work begin to wrap up, yard work comes to a standstill thanks to the eminent snow, and the cold air just makes everything slow. This year? Total opposite. My entire year was slow at work, so the tiniest uptick I’ve had makes me feel swamped. Plus, I just feel like I can’t get above all of the…
