    5 minute Buffalo Chicken Wraps

    This recipe is not only delicious (the husband may have eaten two), but it is SO simple that I’m pretty sure you could make this without instructions.

What You’ll Need: -Buffalo Chicken Bites (we used the Target brand) -8 inch flour tortillas -handful of shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese -Iceburg lettuce, cut in small pieces -Ranch dressing Microwave chicken according to the package.

    Now that I’ve got (and aren’t afraid of) my Kitchen Aide mixer, a whole new world of recipes has opened up including finding the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe.  If you like soft, fluffy cookies, then this recipe is for you.

    Creamy Caramel Sauce

    There’s something so fall about fresh crisp apples racked through some ooey gooey caramel sauce. Although I love the caramel in the tubs from the grocery store, when I saw this recipe from the  Pioneer Women I knew I had to make it. In all honesty, the texture of this sauce and even the taste is pretty different from the store bought kind, but it’s way fresher and only has 4 ingredients. It’s more sauce like than it is stringy caramel, but the entire batch along with 5 huge granny smith apples were devoured in no time. What You’ll Need: -1 cup packed brown sugar -1/2 cup Half & Half -4 tablespoons…
