Waffle boards have become pretty popular in the last year or so and of course I jumped on that bandwagon. These boards are so easy to put together, you pretty much just put all the toppings and waffles on one board. It’s a great activity to do with children as well. They can help make…
So once again I’ve jumped on that food trend bandwagon! This time, on a holiday-inspired one – the hot cocoa bomb! These have become pretty popular this holiday season and I figured why not take a stab at it. These hot cocoa bombs have everything you need to enjoy a hot cup of cocoa. Especially…
Christmas is right around the corner and even though things may be a little bit different this year, it doesn’t mean you can’t make a few delicious and easy appetizers on Christmas Eve and Day! A few of these appetizers are my go-to’s for any get-together I have, whether it’s hosting a party with friends…
