America’s favorite cookie, mashed into America’s favorite boxed dessert. I actually don’t know if brownies are America’s favorite boxed dessert, and I don’t even know for a fact that Oreos are actually America’s favorite cookie. I’m pretty sure they just say that to make you jump on some delicious cookie bandwagon. That’s one bandwagon I’d be happy to hop on.

Sky and I have had a lot of good times together in the 22 years we’ve both been in existence. For example… here’s a picture of us riding an elephant together i

My friend here in Santa Rosa asked me the other week (before baby girl decided to make her entrance into the world) if I wanted to come with her to a cookie party. Yeah… You read that right.
