Peanut Butter & Jelly Cupcakes

Bacon Wrapped Dates… Take 2!
So this appetizer is WORTH a gander. Yes, these little guys have appeared on My Chic Life before, but the first post simply did NOT do them justice. It may not look like it, but these bacon wrapped dates are delicious! Rachel made them the other day, and I couldn’t stop at just 1 or

Citrus Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
