Confession time: I have a sweet tooth. Like, a big one. I also enjoy cooking and baking...sometimes.

It weighs practically nothing, could easily get misplaced in the house or the car, and thankfully doesn’t see the light of day all that often. But each time I see it out, … Continue reading the mourning band

At first I titled this "homemade toaster waffles" but that seemed a little far fetched, as these clearly are made from a mix. HOWEVER. They are definitely "DIY" and save our blue family a sizable amount of money each month! One my officer's favorite breakfasts are Kodiak Cakes.
