I love broccoli. Is that a weird thing to love? Broccoli seems like a super weird thing to have stuck at the end of a bunch of posts about cookies. Call it the broccoli-cookie-detox. So anyway… broccoli soup. In my crock pot. I’ve had a thing for broccoli soup since I was little. I think …
Carrot Cake Truffles… also known as How to Make Carrot Cake a Finger Food. But these perfect little balls of carrot cake and cream cheese frosting were, for me, kind of bittersweet. For those of you that know me, you know that I am basically not capable of sitting down and watching TV, but the …
