Kara came to town! Yay! If you all are wondering, Kara is my sister and she’s super cool (sometimes). She has quite the sweet tooth so I had to whip her up something extra special yesterday for her arrival. We celebrated with roasted chicken and carrots, but the dessert was the best part. So great …

So I thought that a berry crumble would be the perfect way to celebrate this beautiful day. The smell and feel of Spring is FINALLY in the air. I’m sorry I missed everyone yesterday. I was SUPPOSED to write and blog about how delicious my blood mary soup came out. Well that bloody mary soup …

Ha. Not. Hey, I did tell you that I was pretty obsessed with my ice pop mold here of late. I’m not going to apologize. I think it’s perfectly find to eat an ice pop when it’s 20 degrees outside and quite snowy =). Well, I really didn’t know that it was supposed to snow …
