I have a huge thing for dark chocolate. So much so, that I make it a point to visit chocolatiers in different cities all over the world when we travel. I have several favorites that I insist on getting different chocolates from when I’m near. There’s one […]
Even though I’m on a modified Paleo diet, per doctor’s orders, it doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy some delicious desserts. Allergies and multiple food intolerance have already taken away so much of what I love and then my lady doc says, “Girl, you’re going thru […]
