I love challenges -- especially food challenges -- and I love to great creative with food.
Recently, I was given the opportunity to create a dessert recipe inspired by one of the new Renuzit Tempting Indulgences air freshener cones. Not your typical challenge, right?

Shopping for a New Grill at Sears
I'm into my second week of my Sears Grilling Photography class and as promised, I'm sharing all of my assignments right here on my blog. This week, we learned more about the path-to-purchase process.
