Soft and chewy triple chocolate peppermint bark cookies! A fun holiday twist on your favorite chocolate chip cookie!

We were only 8 seasons behind on The Walking Dead. The upside to that is we have so much to binge on and it’s winter break for most shows right now… double bonus! I’ve been hearing so much about The Crown that I’ve been seriously considering giving it a try. At least since it’s only on the second season, I feel like I’d be sort of on top of things and now way behind everyone else. I mean… still behind everyone but not 8 seasons behind. Have you watched The Crown…worth watching or don’t bother?

I make decisions so much harder than they need to be sometimes. Case in point… food processors. Mine started behaving badly last week and I’ve been researching what to replace it with. I’m torn between two, from different brands, and can’t make up my mind. The negative reviews of each are what I can’t get out of my head… cracked bowls, melted plastic, dead after a few uses. I mean these seem like extreme cases and hopefully super rare cases but those negatives will always stick out to me. Do reviews tend to sway you on a purchase one way or another?
