As a kid, I didn’t even like s’mores. I know.. I know! What’s wrong with me? I guess it was just something we didn’t really do as a family, not a tradition that came embedded in my childhood. So later on, when given the choice between a s’more and, oh, pretty much anything else, I…

Matcha Marshmallows
Oh, pillowy matcha marshmallows with your grassy, earthy sweetness.. where did you come from? From my dreams? My pregnancy-induced cravings that know no bounds whatsoever? You know..
