I am all over the sweet & salty lately… things like Chicago mix popcorn and salted caramel cookies and coffees. This dip is an irresistibly sweet treat but really fulfils that sweet & salty craving if you pair it with plain ripple chips. My best friends sister shared this gem…
Lets face it, kids love anything with wheels. When Chase was young he would much rather push the stroller than sit in it and he’s come close to taking strangers babies for a walk in the mall. Suitcases, shopping carts, dollies, luggage racks…the list goes on! So when I saw…
