You guys, this Caramel Cashew Chex Mix is seriously addicting. I’m just going to apologize right now because you will be eating this by the handfuls. Then you’ll look down and the container will be half gone. And you’ll be like “what the what?” where did all my chex mix go? Then you’ll give the

Kale Artichoke Dip
A little twist on the classic spinach artichoke dip, I used kale instead to liven it up a bit. Since kale is so trendy and all. Can we make this dip trendy? Because kale is much more enjoyable when incased in two types of cheeses. Just saying. You know when kale isn’t enjoyable? When you
