Polka Dot Cookies

I have been eying this bag of green mint chips in our grocery store for months and I finally broke down and bought a bag last week. The colors just were too much for my visual mind to resist. lol They are green mint chips and the company is Guittard. They taste [...]

no more soggy bottoms!

……….pizza that is.  Here is a neat pizza reheating trick that I saw on TV awhile ago and it works wonderfully!  I thought I would share because we ordered pizza from our favorite pizza parlor last night.  It is a local business that has been around since 1953.  We have been trying to support our [...]
