At least for today. The last 6 weeks have been complete and utter torture. I literally have survived off of popsicles, saltine crackers and orange juice. But as expected, weeks 12-14 offer relief and a silver lining. This silver lining comes with an abundance of yummy treats, savory dinners and more yummy treats.
By the way, how were your holidays?
