So, I was in charge of hosting my Bunco group this past month, and I decided to go with an ice cream theme...you know me and a theme, right? We're like peas in a pod. Two of a kind. Partners in crime. Peanut Butter and Jelly. Anyways. I dusted off my ice cream maker, looked up some recipes on Pinterest, and spent the week before whipping up four … [Read more...]

I went for a few brownie points with the pink button, but I don't think it helped much. ;) This … [Read more...]
