Heaven In A Strawberry Shell

Since my blog is already suffering from severe ADD, I figured I’d send it in another totally new direction with this post; a recipe! My friend Taylor sent me a recipe earlier today saying she was going to make it for a dinner party she was attending. I jumped at the opportunity to hijack her…

Hurts So Good
