Ina Garten’s Lemon Chicken Breasts

March 29, 2011

I recently finished reading Lunch in Paris: A Love Story, with Recipes by Elizabeth Bard. This is the type of book that I would categorize as a light, easy, & enjoyable read.

Homemade Peanut Butter Cups

March 23, 2011

Like I’ve said before…I LOVE the combination of Peanut Butter and Chocolate. Absolutely love it.
