Perfect for summer afternoons or any time you need a sweet treat. Do you have big plans for the weekend? I am enjoying being home and soaking up our newly fixed A/C.

It is supposed to get hot in Spokane this weekend so I am so happy the A/C repairman came and fixed the beast before the heat kicked in. The past few weeks without A/C have been a bit much.

Thank goodness for slow cooker recipes so dinner was made without heating up the house.
