Coffee, Chocolate, and a Holiday Recipe Contest

There’s all sorts of stuff happening in Carrots ‘N’ Cake land!

But, first, let’s start with this afternoon’s eats!

This morning, when I was walking Murphy, I found a coupon for a FREE medium hot coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts. Sweet! How often does that happen, right? It must have been a sign that I should stop for coffee this morning!

My morning was busy at NuVal, so it took me awhile to drink my medium D&D coffee. I ended up pouring it into a mug to reheat it in the microwave a bunch of times.

A Kit Kat seemed like the perfect treat to go along with my reheated coffee.

For lunch, I had plain Chobani with trail mix and Uncle Sam cereal mixed in.

I also munched on an apple.

And then I ate a million pieces of leftover Halloween candy.

I have zero willpower when it comes to these babies! I’m pretty sure a Milky Way went unaccounted for!
