Good morning and happy Monday again! Yes. Monday. Again. 😉 Although this list is a good way to kick off the week, considering some of these earlybirds. 😀 But first…

1.) I just made “Keto bread” yesterday (in the microwave!! like mug cakes), using almond flour (<— this is the brand I use, but there are so many available) and they turn out like little english muffins that you cut in half and then toast. 😉 Some butter, or some peanut butter and jam (mine was sugar free blackberry) and you get a PB&J!!! Next, I’ll make a BLT.

2.) In my candle making frenzy around the holidays, I made a batch of “blueberry cheesecake” candles and I just finally started burning one last night. It smells AMAZING. I can’t readily eat desserts, but at least I can smell’ em! 😉

3.) I just devoured a book yesterday (The Silent Patient <— read it practically in one sitting) and OMG!!! It slapped my cocky “I guessed it from the start” right in the FACE!!!! HOLY MOLY I did NOT see that coming, and I was SO SURE of myself. THAT. WAS. CLEVER!!!! SQUEEEEEE!! I LOVE when that happens!!! The review will be up within the next day or so, but trust me when I say I LOVED it!
