I’ve always loved the combination of chocolate and peanut butter (who doesn’t, really?).

With Thanksgiving right around the corner (woo!), it’s time to start planning my menu.

While lots of people are hit or miss with mushrooms, I’ve always been a fan (especially of mushroom soup). The earthy flavors of this soup are so comforting and perfect for chilly fall evenings.
