Strawberries are on sale this week for $.99 a quart. The strawberry display was mobbed when I went grocery shopping and I had to almost push my way in to grab three quarts! I guess everyone is a little tired of winter and needed some gorgeous red berries to sweeten their day. As I pushed [...]

Chocolate Brownie Peanut Butter Cups!

I call my Mom almost every day, sometimes several times a day and our conversations are never about any one thing but they are always interesting.
