Well hello! Back again with a smorgasbord of stuff I’ve eaten (and drank) lately. Part I was so fun to compile, so let’s get to it again. Just a reminder to follow me over on Instagram for daily eats and drinks. Here we go… Anddd that’s just a TASTE of it.

I can’t really call myself a coffee drinker. I don’t like the taste of it black, and the caffeine doesn’t fully affect me (except cold brew…watch out).
