Popovers

Whenever I’m watching TV or reading a book and the characters are eating something or talking about food I immediately start craving it! Except after reading The Help, I never wanted to eat a piece of pie again after reading that book. After reading Trouble’s on the Menu I couldn’t stop thinking about Popovers.

Berry Burst Oreo Cake

I’ve been blogging for just over three years now! I can’t believe how fast three years have flown by. The last week in March was my official 3rd birthday but I didn’t get this typed up in time.
