This is one of my favorite topics! 🙂 I made this a couple days ago for a Pinterest lunch, where everyone brought something they had pinned. It was a tasty time! One of the things I made was this.

I may or may not have a LOT (as in an obscene amount) of food  pinned. I can’t help myself. I loooove recipes. I’ve collected recipes for years. I’ve always thought it would be cool to write a cookbook.  I’ve started making up my own recipes even and really have realized I loooove doing it. It has taken me years to say I could do that. I have always been in the kitchen but I always thought I couldn’t do that.
