Four years ago today, I posted for the first time to Bluebonnets & Brownies, this little blog o’ mine. I couldn’t know then the joy and knowledge it would bring to my life. Or the friendships. Back when I started B&B, I was more homesick than you could imagine. Two years into our move to [...]

Oh, peanut butter. I never realized how much I relied on this super food until I moved to England, where it’s a more recent phenomenon, and very hard to find in its “American” version. I remember having to buy imported Skippy, a brand I’d never bought when I lived in the States. I also remember [...]

I may be in the minority here, but I love hot chocolate any time of year. There’s just something so alluring about that drinkable chocolate goodness.. I can’t help myself! I think maybe my Keurig may have something to do with this. Ever since we first got our Keurig, I’ve been a huge fan of [...]
