Sunday Morning Baked Apples

April 16, 2012

Certain things in life are facts. I am not a morning person. I need a glass of water to start my day. When I’m not in a rush to get somewhere, I enjoy sitting down for breakfast. I realize I could potentially counter #1 with coffee, but my brain usually starts to function at some [...]
