I prefer to look at the brighter side of … [Read more...]

Boozy Fudgsicles (Vegan + Gluten Free)

By

Guess what, Saturday was my BIRTHDAY!!!! And these boozy fudgsicles are my birthday treat.

Even better, I threw in a little bit of Rum for good measure! Because at 31 I still know how to PARTY! In all seriousness, how am I 31?! It felt like 5 minutes ago I was graduating college. When I don't put a label on my age TBH I don't feel any older … [Read more...]
