So, I was stumbling the other night, or pinning....either way I was in one of my happy places when I came across this recipe from Crepes of Wrath. I knew right away that I had to try it! I was immediately drawn to the salt and sweet of these cookies. It's like putting M&M's in your movie theatre popcorn, right? Heaven. (If you've never done this, you are missing out on one of life's great joys.) So anyway, I set about gathering ingredients to make them but what I didn't know was that I was …
Homemade Marshmallows
I've seen a lot of recipes recently for homemade marshmallows and I've basically ignored them. I mean, making marshmallows is not really high on my cooking "to-do" list if you know what I mean.

Cinnamon Belgian Waffles
If you don't have a waffle maker, you should really consider investing in one. They make you look talented and stuff. I have lots of different recipes for waffles but these are by far my favorite.
