    Coffee and Pie Chat: We’re Bringing It Back

    25 May 2025 / 0 Comments

    Y’all, I’m so excited to share that Kristin and I are bringing back our Coffee & Pie series! We first started our “pie along” in the Summer of 2019, using seasonal fruits like lemons, blueberries, nectarines, and such. It was a fun and most delicious time. I learned a lot about myself — mostly that I really, really like pretty pie plates. I also learned that I cannot make pie crusts. I don’t care how good the recipe is, my pie crusts always taste like flour. So I use store bought crusts and I’m OK with that. Over the past few months, Kristin and I have DMed each other about…

    Review and Giveaway: Betty Crocker Mississippi Mud Supreme Bars (Closed)

    25 May 2010 / 12 Comments

    I know, can you believe I’m reviewing Betty Crocker Mississippi Mud Supreme Bars on my blog?  Trust me, I went back and forth over whether or not I would do this but, ultimately, I decided to review the Mississippi Mud Bars and offer a giveaway.  Why?  Because my children love having gooey chocolate snacks and I don’t mind them eating them.  In moderation.  That’s the key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle ~ moderation.
