Hello Fresh Review & Thoughts
A couple weeks ago, I was scrolling Instagram like a potato lump when I came accross a Hello Fresh coupon. Chesh and I had already been talking about wanting to try out a meal delivery kit, and this seemed like the perfect oportunity. I did some research, and signed up for Hello Fresh.

The Great Macaron Disaster
Sometimes, things just don’t work out the way you plan. Sometimes you plan for one thing to happen, and instead you end up spending over four hours on one baking project, wishing you’d never even heard of blueberry lemon macarons.
I suppose I should start at the beginning. Continue reading “The Great Macaron Disaster”

The snow outside (it’s currently raining), the hustle and the bustle (I’m doing all my shopping online this year), the Christmas music (Chesh dislikes Christmas music), and all the food (I got this one, guys).

Secret Recipes: Mom’s Cheeseball
Every year around this time, mom starts making cheesball. Simply put, it’s a round ball made of cheese, and served with crackers. I’ve seen many a store-bought cheeseball with pimento cheese, rolled in almonds. This, my poor uncultured friends, is NOT a cheeseball.
