I have been mostly MIA this past year due to a difficult pregnancy, but now I am ready to get back in the kitchen and share lots of new recipes with you again because…

Our baby boy is here!!!

He came about 3 weeks early, but is absolutely perfect! I had a really difficult/scary delivery and recovery, but he is about 3 weeks old now and I am doing so much better! We are all thoroughly enjoying our newest addition and, with 5 older siblings, he is getting no shortage of snuggles 🙂

It seems only right to celebrate this happy time with Butterfinger Cheesecake Brownies! Won’t you join us?
