Smore Crispy Rice Treats I was asked recently what I serve for my kiddie parties. Do I just have vegetable cups and fruit bowls for the kids?

Veggie Stir Fry Prep
Veggie Stir Fry Prep I don't know about other people but the toughest prep for me is usually the vegetables. The washing and the cutting is enough to send me running into the closet and hide. Plus, when you don't take care of it right away or eat it quick enough...it goes bad. This breaks my heart … Continue reading Veggie Stir Fry Prep
