Ah, confessions. How I’ve missed you! Let’s start off with the baking, shall we? I’m not that big of a baker, but when I do manage to make something that’s edible, I tend to go through it really fast. These chocolate chip cupcake things made with ricotta cheese? Yeah. They’re good. And not lasting [...]
I’m a huge fan of chips. They’re the perfect blend of crunchy and salty that makes my mouth happy happy. I mean, seriously, what’s better than a nice crunchy chip when the snack craving hits?

Today, I feel like I need to talk about water. Partly for you all, and partly as a reminder for me. I have to admit, I am pretty much the worst at remembering to drink water. And when I do, I don’t like it. My normal scenario is basically realizing that I haven’t had any [...]
