Tasty Tuesday

Hey everyone! I'm going to make this post short and sweet. Haha. Pun intended. I'm feeling a little under the weather today. Well, my throat is feeling under the weather today. I'm going to the doctor at 10am so I can get these bumps on the back of my throat checked out. Anywho, todays Tasty Treat comes from the blog Taste and Tell. It's a Red Velvet Cheese Ball! Derek made one for me with yellow cake on Sunday and all though it wasn't as pretty as the red velvet it definitely tasted just as good.
