Hey everyone! How’s your week going? We are in for a very exciting weekend – my future sister-in-law Tara is graduating from UC Berkeley so we have the whole family in from out of town and are planning on doing lots of eating and drinking to celebrate! I hope you’re enjoying warm weather and spring-y celebrations wherever you are, too. Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

This chocolate peanut butter pretzel tart looks like sweet-and-salty dessert heaven. I love this idea!
