He'd mix it together and enjoy his concoction. I thought it was weird and gross.Growing up and now being the Mom of the family, my family is in a breakfast rut. I don't think they … [Read more...]

1 Chicken, 3 great meals!

Here are my 3 favorites! And you can make them all, and more, with one single … [Read more...]
