Little Debbie cosmic brownies were the best when I was little. Not only did you get a fudgy brownie, but it had frosting and SPRINKLES!
Do you like sprinkles? I kind of feel like sprinkles make everything just a little bit better. My 3.5 year thinks it is a dream come true to get ice cream with sprinkles.

This post is sponsored by Forte Chocolates.
One of the best things about my time abroad in Paris was exploring the many Parisian food wonders. A favorite was their chocolat chaud. This wasn't just hot chocolate as known in the States but more like a thick melted chocolate drink. It was marvelous and such an indulgence.

Hello again! It has been a long time. We are still here. Barely. January can be summed up with one statement. Fighting illnesses, viruses and colds. Despite hunkering down inside we have all been battling nastiness.
It was not fun. Hopefully we are all on the mend now and stay that way till Spring.

Not nearly as many as the past but I am OK with that; life is different now. Here are some of my favorites.

I am in a baking mood. I think it is the cold temperatures and the thought of Christmas being right around the corner. I am hoping to spend all weekend in the kitchen.
These cookies were super easy and oh so delicious. They were to appease Mr. J when he was begging me to get him Little Debbie oatmeal pies. Those packages cookies gross me out.

I am slowly tackling my Christmas baking list. There is no way I will get all the way through it but I think the good ones will get done. These were made - some were eaten and some were wrapped up to give as small tokens of love.
There is something about molasses, ginger and cinnamon that just makes sense around the Christmas season.

Hello Hello! Things have not slowed down one bit since I last checked in but I did manage to do a bit of holiday baking this weekend. I made the classic Peanut Butter Blossoms first. These are Mr. J's favorite cookies this time of year.

We couldn't be more excited to announce baby boy Morris coming in April. I am much more tired this time around probably due more to Miss O than the baby but things have been a real struggle to get through each day.

Are you in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving prep? If so you may want to take a quick break and make this bread. I was never a true fan of pumpkin pie. I would have my own slice on Thanksgiving and be good for the year. If I can sneak in a different dessert I do. This double chocolate caramel bread can be just that.
