Bars & Brownies

I have this wonderful woman that I work with. She is a teacher I interpret for and was also Roxy’s foster mom when I adopted her. She has two (extremely well trained) dogs of her own and is always my go-to person for any and all puppy related problems. Heck, I go to her with …

For the past few weeks, we’ve had pizza Fridays with our pastor’s family. They provide the pizza and I provide the dessert. They actually never asked me to provide dessert, but I want them to keep inviting us back and sweet treats can’t hurt, right? I’d already brought Caramel Apple Mini Cupcakes and chocolate chip …
