I love festive sweets and treats so whenever a holiday rolls around I jump on the chance to make something cute and kitchy. And this is the official one for Valentine’s Day people (but don’t worry, I may have other things up my sleeve too). I originally came across this idea on Pinterest when I saw

Frito Bars
I have been overwhelmed lately to say the least with the state that our house is in and just life in general. The kitchen is unpacked for the most part…the pantry is still a mess. So, I still haven’t really cooked all that much but I’m looking forward to getting into a new rhythm in

Chocolate Mayo Cupcakes with Chocolate Frosting
