Ten Good Reads from October 2013
I'm finding that my lists of great reads are beginning to get rather lengthy, so in an effort to slightly pare down but also elevate the awesome, I'm going to begin sharing a curated top ten good reads (and occasional watches) from around the web.*

Due to my intolerance to most cow milk dairy and dislike of unpronounceable ingredients, most all candy has been off limits. So homemade? Yes, please!
