I’m a writer, chocolate chip cookie baker, blog designer, power walker, Instagram fiend, peanut butter toast lover and copious coffee drinker living in Nebraska with my husband and three cats. (also a fan of a good run-on sentence)

And Dave barely had a taste of it…it was just this nut butter monster slathering it on toast, tortillas, a cookie (ohmigosh)…really anything.
