I try to eat a fairly healthy diet but every now and then a girl needs a sweet treat. A treat is especially good if it contains chocolate. I love trying recipes and when I recently saw one for Chocolate Chip Toffee Potato Chip Cookies, I couldn’t resist trying it. The combination of the sweet…

My favorite package each month is my Stitch Fix delivery. My latest box came on my 47th birthday and it was a winner! I loved the five items that I received and kept them all. My June 2016 Stitch Fix Review is a special one because not only did I keep all five items, but…
