Chocolate + Wine Truffles

This post is dedicated to my best friend.

A blurry phone photo of us from a couple of years ago)

She is a friend who, no matter how long it’s been since we have seen each other, when we’re together, we can talk for hours without realizing where the time has gone.

She has been my best friend for 23 years! Yep, I have know Amanda since the day I was born (maybe 2 or 3 days after I was born?)

Even though we now live far apart, our time spent together is so much fun! It’s so nice to have a friend like her.

Why do I dedicate this post to her? Well, other than her being an all around amazing person and friend, I know that we share a great love of wine and chocolate!

Sprinkles

This recipe is so perfect!

Literally, what could be better? A smooth ball of chocolate that has wine in it? Yes please!

These truffles are chocolate-y, rich, smooth and have just the right punch of wine. The added sprinkles give a nice little crunch.

One (or two) of these and a glass of wine = the perfect way to end a day! I promise that these will satisfy even the greatest chocolate craving.

Thank you How Sweet It Is for this recipe!

Week in Photos

Thank goodness it is Saturday!

I am all about cherishing each and every moment of life, but sometimes you just want a day to be over. That is how I felt every single day this past week.

But now, Saturday. And a chance to slow down. If even just for a day, maybe that’s all I really need.

Even a less than ideal week always brings things to appreciate. Please enjoy, five little things that made my week.

*Just as I’m posting this, I notice 3/5 of my photos have wine in them. That’s okay, right? 🙂

Enjoy your weekend!
