This week has one of my favorite days of the year.  Every year I love to craft some creative ways to “get” my family.  One of my past favorites was getting my kids up for school and telling them they needed to retake the standardized test because the school called and the machine that reads […]

It’s been cold and damp for the past few days so I was very happy that Chili was on my menu.  I’ve had this package of buffalo on my inventory list for some time just waiting to be used.  I had found it hiding at the bottom of my chest freezer when I had finally […]
