I learned how to cut and pit a honeydew (pitting was fun, just pulled the seeds out with my hands. It reminded me of pitting a pumpkin), helped assemble a huge fruit salad, and then made the buffalo chicken dip. Continue reading →

Yesterday, I had to do some cooking and didn’t exactly have the most time to do so. Josh and I went to the grocer and I only picked up three things. Orange soda (which will play no part in this post), chicken breasts and Mexican blend cheese. Continue reading →
