Our Favorite Disney Cookie! It wasn’t too long ago that Disney introduced another treat to the parks, and it’s one that has quickly become a crowd favorite. It’s Jack Jack Cookie Num Num.

Recipes like this remind me that Thanksgiving isn’t that far away. And being vegetarian, I get to delve into a whole new world of Thanksgiving dishes....

It’s about that time in my country that it’s finally starting to rain and create a variety from the endless sunshine. I know that sounds like a bundle of happiness, but it can be a bother when you’re walking in the sun and going near blind from the brightness… … I’m now realising that to those of you who still have snow, I sound INCREDIBLY ungrateful.
