I’m Jessica and this is where I share my stuff. You will find a balance of healthy recipes, comfort food and indulgent desserts.
I am madly, passionately, inexplicably in love with food. Bacon makes me beam. Chocolate makes me shout from the rooftops with joy. Vegetables and I are the best of frenemies. My perfect world would include none of them.

Tecate!!! That is the best cheap beer you can get. Try it with a lime wedge :)

First, I want pretzel sticks. Then I’ll have a nice slice of chocolate cake. And seriously cute crimping going on there. I wish I still had my crimper!
Reply
Is there a recipe for that cake anywhere? It looks amazing!!!

My Golden’s ears do the same thing! The first time I got him wet I thought I ruined him. I’ve grown to love it, although I must say it’s a bit more fitting on a girl dog…

1) Bella’s crimped ears are to die for. Love that she’s so 90′s stylish :)
2) I need those pretzels and cheese. Um, all of it. For research.
3) That sprinkle pop? I drooled. I can’t help myself. Nonpareils should be a good group, just sayin’.

This looks like the perfect summer weekend! These pictures made me miss America a ton. I can’t wait to come home and enjoy some lazy, crazy, busy summer =)

I WANT A SOFT PRETZEL.
Preferably with the jalapeño cheddar dipping sauce… but mustard would suffice.
