I have fond memories of school lunches. The chicken patty with cheese, the pizza, the chef salad, the Italian dunkers, the lunch lady hamburger soup, the sweet and sour meatballs with rice, the goulash, the brownies, the special K bars. Even the old school peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread accompanied by plain…

Make a bunch for your next party! 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips 8.5 oz bag salted, plain ripple potato chips Place a long length of waxed paper on…
These little mints evoke so many memories for me. My grandma’s friend, Victoria, was a caterer for much of her life, and she actually catered my and Jeff’s wedding.

There’s something so magical about making sugarplums…
Oh my goodness! I’ve been so busy! I swear I meant to post this easy little recipe on Friday and the weekend got away from me. All day Saturday was dedicated to car shopping and, after 6 loooong hours at the dealership, I’m proud to announce that we are the owners of a new car.…

Look for the scene (It’s pretty close to the beginning) and make up a batch of these easy, delicious, vanilla covered…
