With three kids there are weeks that simply fly by! While I love to surprise my kids with a special dessert sometimes, there are nights when there just isn’t a lot of time to be super creative. This chocolate dip is a perfect weeknight treat, but it’s also luxurious enough to entertain with. And it’s [...]
Eating out is one of the first things to go when tightening my food bill. As much as I know I need to do it, sometimes I miss the special little touches of a meal at a restaurant, especially when they bring you a hot loaf of bread and some flavored olive oil to dip [...]
