So I live in New England. So we get snow in New England. Last year we broke a record for snowfall; we got something like 108 inches total. There was a blizzard warning for this past weekend and let’s just say us New Englanders were having deja vu about snow. Well, instead of this: We […]

So I’m not much of a cook or a baker. Let’s just say that this goes way back, starting when my best friend Lisa and I attempted to make pretzels from a recipe in Seventeen Magazine. The end result?
