  1. So good! I was in search of some good recipes that are cheap and easy to make and I am so happy I stumbled across this one! I did add a little spice to the recipe, though. I felt like it was a little bland at first but other than that it was great and I am going to make this one more often! Yummy and affordable!

I am a stay at home mom with 2 children. My son is 3 (Robert) and my daughter is 1(Leiah). Now I have to remember to come back here and update often :). I love to cook, and make new recipes by throwing stuff together. I'm a sweet-aholic. I love cheesecake, but my favorite would have to be caramel popcorn (it's been sooo long).
