The Sweet Journey.

I used to love blogging.

Years ago, I had a little blog called This Sweet Journey where I shared recipes, house projects, and life updates. It brought me so much joy to document our life while we were building our first home and raising our babies. But as life got busier with three kids, my law office, and Adam's shift work, I couldn't keep up and quit posting.  

Since Adam died, I've been writing regularly - it helps me process this massive life shift. I decided it was time to give blogging another shot, hoping it might spark some joy again. The Sweet Journey tab is where you'll find what's coming out of my kitchen these days as I learn to cook *every night* for our family of four. Adam was our family's chef, while I handled the baking, so this has been a challenge for me.

 

I'll post recipes here and take a little comfort knowing that even if dinner sucks, my kids will still get great desserts.

 

 

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Spread an even layer of peanut butter over each graham cracker square and freeze for at least one hour. Take out hardened peanut butter squares and spread a layer of marshmallow cream on top. This layer can be hard to spread, but it doesn’t have to look pretty because it all gets dipped in chocolate. Just take a spoonful of marshmallow creme, put it in the center of the square and do your best to spread it towards the edges. Return the pan to the freezer for another hour. Melt chocolate-flavored almond bark in a large bowl and spread parchment paper on the counter. Use forks to dip each frozen graham until fully coated, knocking off excess on the side of the bowl, before returning to parchment paper to set. These treats are delicious fresh or frozen. Store in fridge or freezer, depending on your preference.
