Dinner for one, needs to be edible, and most like to have something different for a meal than they had the night before! That's where the idea came to create this blog, for our family and friends, to make life a little simpler for those we know and love. 5 friends have come together to share simple crafts and delicious recipes, to share with one another and with you! We are spicing things up in the kitchen and whiping out our "domestic" sides, so grab one of our buttons below, spread the word, and share with your friends and family!
