I am loving fall this year! The colors and the warmer than usual temperatures have been perfect this season. One thing I love to do in the fall is enjoy a warm beverage when I take in the fall scenery, whether it is during a hike through the woods or while sitting in my home's bay window enjoying a good book. So, when Coffee-Mate offered the opportunity to try out their new seasonal flavors, I jumped at the chance! Among Coffee Mates new seasonal flavors are Dark Chocolate Fudge, Peppermint Mocha and Eggnog Latte. Yum! I can't wait to try those out! Fall Tea Break This morning, I had Continue reading...

Homemade Chipwich Recipe
My twin daughters recently celebrated their birthday. For their birthday, I've done almost every kind of cake for them so far, so when I invited their grandfather and aunt over the other day for a mini birthday celebration, I decided to do something different -- "homemade" chipwiches! (You'll see why I put "homemade" in quotes later!) My semi homemade chipwich recipe is super easy! To make the chipwiches, I purchased M&M chocolate chip cookies from my local grocery store's bakery -- they are quite good!
