These walnuts need to come with a huge warning label: ADDICTING. SEVERELY ADDICTING. DON’T LEAVE OUT IN PLAIN SIGHT. Seriously. Vanilla and walnuts are made for each other. Match made in food heaven.

Meringues are pretty much a health food. Can we please agree on this? No? Well…they are better than a triple-chocolate-caramel-oreo-cookie-dough-brownie-milkshake, right?

My love of vanilla beans isn’t quickly fading. I don’t see that happening anytime soon ever.   In fact, I’m quite sure I’m addicted. Sign me up for rehab but I won’t show up! I’ll be in my kitchen concocting something that will surely have beautiful little black flecks in it.
