Treats! Treats are everywhere you turn. And everything looks scrumptious. But I want to have something a little different than chocolate roses or chocolate covered strawberries. Here are a few of my favorite treats for Valentine's Day. Growing up it was a treat to have Breyers ice cream. I LOVED their strawberry ice cream because there are chunks of strawberries! But I also love the Neapolitan because I like to mix the strawberry, chocolate and vanilla together making it into a one of a ...

Ice Chips the Beneficial Candy
I have a real sweet tooth. I could munch on candy all day long and just be in heaven!

Single Cup Club

So a few years ago I invested in a Keurig. It seemed to make the most sense for my lifestyle. I can make one cup at a time and not waste a whole pot of coffee everyday. Plus I can make hot tea and hot cocoa in it too. And since there is just me drinking coffee it can take a while to go through a box of k cups. I also like variety ...
