Confession: I’m currently on Day 10 of the Whole30. Which doesn’t seem like the most fitting thing to share with you as I wave enticing photos of intensely rich and delicious, chocolate-y peanut butter and bourbon cake (+ salted caramel!) in front of your face, but...
Hear me out on this one. I know when you said get rid of the leftover Halloween candy, you (and your waistline) may not have been looking for a method for taking that tempting pile of chocolate and submerging it in even and even larger and...

The hours, days, weeks, months just keep FLYING THE HECK BY over here. My 27th birthday is in one week and six days (but who's counting?). what the?! According to the ever-wise, always-factual interwebs I'm about to enter a year of existential crisis coupled with the purchase...
