Eggs and me, a love story

Listen, kids. I know. It’s been 10 days. Have you ever tried to keep up a blog? It’s hard. Especially when you are visiting your sister in California and you’re living out of a suitcase and meals aren’t planned so much as they are “MacGuyver-ed.”

Orange you glad I made this cake?

I have issues with oranges. Don’t get me wrong, I love orange juice. And there is nothing quite like a really juicy orange in the thick of winter. But like, whoever thought that orange and chocolate was an ok combination? That person needs to be fired from coupling things. And I give all my orange-flavored [...]
