I have a confession to make. I love mall food court food… There, I said it. Do you think less of me now? I understand if you do… truly… guess we won’t be hanging out at the mall together anytime soon then, which is a bummer. I bribe my kids to be good at the…

Differences {Recipe: Triple Chocolate Malt Bread}
Triple chocolate malt bread is a chocolate lovers dream, with three types of chocolate in one tasty dessert loaf. I dropped my kids off at school today, got in the car and practically cheered. I love having my kids home, but for the past three days there has been nothing but bickering and meanness coming…
Cookie Overload? {Recipe: Brown Sugar Fruit Dip}

Addictive Caramel Corn Puffs
Caramel Corn Puffs are a sweet and salty snack you won’t be able to keep your hands off of. I have been contemplating going to BlogHer 2009 which I was so excited to find out is in Chicago this year. Last year I was on vacation (if you call being in a hurricane a vacation)…
