Projects: Halloween Treat Bags 2019
Halloween Treat Bags 2019 – what are you giving out for Halloween this year? We’ve got KitKat bars – the chunky ones I used to love before having to go gluten free. And, we’ve got hot chocolate, ring pops, and Jurassic Park pop-rocks. Total score. We live in the country and the kiddos show up on quads, side-by-sides or even mini-vans that are like clown-cars. How many people can fit in one of those things?! Since there aren’t too many houses on our block we…

Recipe: Buffalo Chicken Chili
Buffalo chicken chili – such a great fall eat. It’s a take on a classic buffalo chicken dip – if you like that dip (I love it) you’ll probably like this chili.

Ingredients 2 pounds of ground chicken – cooked 19…

Recipe: Gluten Free Ice Cream Cake
Gluten free ice cream cake – yes, I know! So, I can’t eat Dairy Queen cake and my Mom used to buy them for special occasions – mainly birthday’s. So much fun.
