Featured Friday, Volume 1.7
After a busy week at work, late nights spent tackling my presidential duties for Chi Omega, and a mid-week trip down to Pennsylvania for Musikfest, I'm forcing myself to put my feet up and relax tonight. Especially since I have a 9-mile marathon training run on the schedule tomorrow. So, it's the perfect time for me to write another Featured Friday post!
That Just Takes Me Back
Did you grow up eating Chex Muddy Buddies? I did. In fact, that snack was so popular, one of our eighth grade Home Economics classes was dedicated it. Next to Rice Krispies Treats, Muddy Buddies were my favorite snack made with breakfast cereal. So, when I found Jenny's recipe for White Chocolate PB&J Muddy Mix on Picky Palate, I was immediately transported back in time to middle school. I love how food can bring back so many fantastic memories!
Almost Too Pretty to Drink
With all the attention paid to the plating and presentation of food, it's not surprising to hear people exclaim "Oh! That's just too pretty to eat!"

The problem is, "later" for me is usually "too late." I got used to the idea of not making pancakes for myself. Until I saw Joy's Single Lady Pancake on Joy the Baker! Sweet, hearty, and just enough for one. Yes, please!
