I know it’s only Tuesday, but my mouth is watering for the below, delicious looking, menu items. I’ve never made either, and if you know me you know I can’t bake to save my life – but I do keep trying. I usually save trying new recipes for the weekend, and for myself only, when I have time to do it and won’t disappoint anyone. I don’t think either dishes are particularly healthy, but that’s probably why they look so damn good.

I’ll report back on how these go.
