Last Minute Halloween Ideas from Taste of Home

Between my full-time teaching job, physical therapy for my shoulder, endless errands, and just being pooped at the end of the day, I haven't found the time to cook anything special lately (which means no recipes to blog about). Sorry! My boys are ages 21 and 16, so Halloween is not a big deal in my house any more.  But after I saw these amazing Halloween recipes at Taste of Home, I thought … [Read more...]

Teriyaki Chicken

Speaking of Chinese food...one … [Read more...]
