Friday Flashback: The Second Date

Friday Flashback: The Second Date

[ 3 ] Apr 30, 2010

A few weeks ago, I told you about how Nate and I met. He even chimed in with the story of our first date and his attempts to woo me with Baja Fresh. Well, much to my surprise, there was a second date! And it was just about as awkward as the first… I showed up at [...]

I adore no bake cookies. Around my house, one of our favorite weekday my-plate-is-full-I-so-don’t-have-time-to-cook desserts is what we’ve [...]
