I’m going to level with you all. You don’t need a recipe for this. Out of all the simple appetizers, entrées and desserts I’ve shared here on “Coffee & Chiffon” for the past year or so- this one has got to be the easiest and quickest. If you have approximately ten minutes- you can whip […]
Greetings from Las Vegas, Nevada! I’ve been here since this past Saturday morning to visit with Kelsey’s family and spend a few nights baby-sitting the kids while Andrew is getting acclimated to an overnight shift at his new job.
