I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Shoot! I need to send you that molten lava cake recipe. I’m going to try to remind myself when I get home tonight.
you’re on a roll! looking forward to see what event you will plan 🙂
I love these kinda of lists! Makes me want to do one myself. And I think you’re doing a great job… can’t wait to see what your blogger event is!
