Hottie Biscotti

A new family moved in across the street from us this week, so I decided to make cupcakes to bring as a welcome gift.  Originally I planned to bake a white cake mix and frost cupcakes with a jar of chocolate frosting.  While getting eggs from the fridge I spotted the carton of strawberries I’d [...]

It was a snow day here in Amarillo yesterday.  Ben went to work at 6:30 am only to be called by one of the partners at 6:50 am to let him know that the office would not be open.  It snowed almost all day and was pretty windy, so the snow on the ground was [...]

Check out what I ate for dinner last night…
