Summer Classic

I actually have a goal this summer. Other than relaxing and looking fly, I fully intend to finish every Nancy Drew book this summer. I just can't get enough of that girl! She's crafty, always looks good, she's determined, and she always appreciates a good meal. She's a timeless character. A classic.

This summer I am committed to the classics. Even my baking has gone old school. Fresh ingredients are good for a dusty recipe, like Betty Crocker's Coffee-And-Spice Drops.

Kick it in the kitchen this summer.
