Oooohhhh! Are you ready for this creamy, dreamy cocoa laced with Bailey’s Irish Cream? Sometimes I make this with the original Baileys and sometimes I make it with my delicious homemade version of Irish cream.

Wheeeee! It’s Friday! Tonight we’re headed across the Minnesota/Wisconsin border to a favorite riverside restaurant that does an amazing fish fry. I’ve been craving it all week. This weekend we’re looking to spend some time in the water. It’s been so hot here! We haven’t decided if we’re going tubing down the Cannon river, to…
A few people wrote to me, asking how I make my Tazo Passion Lemonade after I wrote about it on Facebook. Sooo… I thought I’d write up a quick little post on it and share it here. You’re going to laugh. I just make it according to the exact directions on the back of the…
