The moment I told him it was ok for him to make me a light box! I got more than I could bargain for. I didn’t know we needed all this junk to make a light box. I hope someday he will understand we don’t live on a ranch where he can store all his…

Apple Caramel Cookie Bread

I am not a big fan of anything filled with apples in it! I can’t stand caramel apples, candy apples, apple pie and apple bread. I do like apple fruit leather, but apple filled deserts are not my thing. On the other hand I fell in love with an apple head. When I mean he…

Beer Glazed Nuts

Beer Glazed Nuts

Sweet salty nuts with a just a hint of ale makes this a wonderful flavor. This is not your average beer nut I can tell you that! I am not a fan of how sweet beer nuts can be (numb tongues! I tell ya!) but when you combine them with ale! Oh man you will…
