Parmesan kale pesto

The hubs and I are in super drive because of school and scheduling conflicts. It seems like we see each other for only a couple hours a day. We started staying up late so we can spend more time together. I miss that man. But we both know this is only (hopefully) temporary and this …

Sweet cornbread squares

I love cornbread. It reminds me of being a kid and eating Sunday dinners. I have wanted to post this recipe for quite sometime but life... life keeps getting in the way. D-Money and I took a much needed vacation at the end of this semester (good news: I passed stats!). We spent sometime in …
