Happy Wednesday, Y’all!

Have you had a chance to check out the new design for Cajun Sugar Pie? We are still adding a few things here and there, so I’d love to get your thoughts! Leave me comment.

I don’t really have a theme for this post, mainly just random thoughts like…

I’ve been craving chocolate this week. Okay, so I crave chocolate EVERY week.

I’ve also been super jealous of all my food blogger friends who went to BlogHer Food and are now posting all their pics. It’s just shameless. No bother, I’ll be there next year.  I’m already registered! Ssshhhhhh! It’s our secret, mmkay? I figure if my husband can go spend a week every year at a race track, I can go to 2 blog conferences a year. ;)

Also, if I have to watch one more episode of Yo Gabba Gabba today, I think my head may explode, and DJ Lance Rock will be in the background saying “That’s AWESOME!” Yeah, it’s one of those days.

I found this ancient recipe in one of my Maw Maw’s OLD OLD cookbooks. The cover was missing and the book was paperback and falling all to pieces, so I can’t credit the source. If you know where it came from, you can yell at me in email later.
