two pm is my witching hour.
after going all morning chasing after my little guy, running errands, cleaning up the house, and all of the other unknown surprises that crop up during a day in the life of a mommy, when the blessed nap-time hour hits, i want to sit still with a cup of coffee and some kind of yummy baked good. the dietitian in me knows i should probably just support my adrenals a little more, but the foodie in me usually puts up a good fight in favor of the sugar cravings.
blondies rock... they're just an easy, low-maintenance alternative to cookies and brownies. you can't go too wrong with what you throw into them. but something magical happens when you combine lime and white chocolate.... you have to try them.
i'll be having some at two... maybe with a side of ashwagandha.
