Peppermint Truffle Brownie Bites

Here’s the thing….there is nothing, and I mean, like nothing, that can compare to the ooey-gooey goodness of a warm brownie made with gobs of real sugar, butter, and god only knows what else.

Breakfast Bowls • The Beach Berry

I used to absolutely loathe eating breakfast because I wasn’t really a fan of any breakfast foods.

Sippin’ on Springtime

In San Diego this weekend our temps are set to break records being in the high 80s. Todays is absolutely STUNNING, and with my garden blooming, the sun shining, and an ocean breeze swaying through the doors, I was compelled to whip up this it’s-five-o-clock-somewhere afternoon cocktail.
