To be honest I’m not really a sweets person. Not that I won’t turn dessert down, I just don’t bake a lot of them. Most of the time dessert for me is just a scoop of ice cream and I’m content. But last night i just felt like baking. I think it’s because I’m so … Continue reading
I absolutely love salmon, but on my budget, I can’t really afford it. So one hot summer day, it just felt like a fish day. Well I found a deal at Safeway for a pound of salmon for $5. We were set. But when we tasted it, it was dry, fishy, and just not good. … Continue reading

I picked up two mini muffin tins at a local consignment store and I was dying to make something in miniature form! I’m not much of a baker, so I was delighted at how easy these nutella cupcakes were!
