Honey Chrysanthemum Drink

Posted on January 16, 2022January 16, 2022by Chris

This is my go-to drink if I desire something hot and comforting (and delicious). ❤️ It is especially perfect for our crazy cold days lately.

Work in Progress

Hello! I’ve just made some changes to this blog and am in the process of tidying up individual posts, working from the most current to the oldest. Please bear with me. So irritating, I know. :)

Nevertheless, thank you for your patience. I truly appreciate it!

Simple Pleasures in our Lives

Hi! My name is Chris and I have a serious addiction to cookbooks! I love to bake and cook, which is certainly helpful since I’m passionate about eating as well, lol. When I am not thinking about food (rarely), I derive great pleasure from reading, hiking, lazing around (mostly in the winter because it’s too cold to venture outside then), and spending precious time with the loves of my life - my husband, Keith and our son, Alex.

Look what I found buried at the bottom of our ches
Look what I found buried at the bottom of our chest freezer - one lone container of Shrimp Wonton Ramen! This is one of our favorite buys at Costco but we haven’t been able to find it in our last few trips. Hopefully, it’ll come back soon. My rating is 8/10. ❤️😋

Another new Costco find (Northeast Ohio location)
Another new Costco find (Northeast Ohio location) - Melona Frozen Dessert Bars, made in South Korea

I debated whether to get these today or next week since we had another stop to make before going home but I couldn’t risk not finding them next time, lol. So happy with this purchase!!!

Keith tried the mango flavor and rated it 10/10 and I tried the honeydew melon flavor and my rating is 10/10 as well. I love that the honeydew flavor comes across just like as if you are eating the actual fruit and it was creamy tasting and not too sweet. Love it!!! ❤️❤️❤️

New Costco find (Northeast Ohio location) - Mini Raspberry Cakes with Buttercream Icing 

I literally squealed with delight when I saw these pretty little things but ultimately, nothing special about the taste.

Keith rated them 6/10 and my rating is 5/10.
