A few lunches were rearranged but we stuck to the same meals, just on different days due to my (almost) 4yr old’s daily selection. Wednesday’s dinner of Chicken … Continue reading »
It’s only been a few days since my first Treats for Troops post but I thought with a big football weekend upon us that it would be perfect timing to share this recipe. I first made these pretzels back before Christmas as a special request from my soldier overseas. I ended up making ten batches … Continue reading »
