The Weekend

I don't even know what to say. Apparently, it is still holiday time here at our house.

• Chocolate crinkles
• Coconut white chocolate chip cookies

• More Kraft Mac 'n Cheese than I care to admit
• Cheetos (Have you noticed that the "puffs" versions are larger than ever?)

Hmmm. Are we sensing a theme here? Cheese and chocolate. I must be feeling some stress, or something like...hormones.

Joy.
