No Bake Cake!
Because my father is Lactose intolerant and Addicted to Publix’s birthday cake ice cream, I decided it was necessary to try these no milk cake batter truffles. They were delicious!

North & South
I told myself not to start any new TV series. I’ve got plenty to catch up on, but all of those I’m at least a season behind on. I’ve gotten into a horrible habit of watching TV before bed though, so I feel bored and restless without a show. Last night, I tried to use Netflix…
