After Champagne & Cookies, I’m usually cookie-ed out for a while, but I broke my hiatus for this delicious treat. I was happy to make this recipe because I had it bookmarked on both my work computer and personal laptop; so I got double the satisfaction because I got to delete it twice. This has been......
Merry Christmas! Hope everyone had a nice holiday. I’m currently marathoning Season 5 of Friday Night Lights, but I rolled off the couch to check in here with a quick update. I’ll be posting a recap of my Champagne & Cookies Christmas party shortly, but in the meantime, here’s an actual voicemail that I received......

In my office, people go bonkers for free food. There’s a certain group of people who will actually loiter outside conference rooms, waiting to pounce on leftovers from catered meetings.
