CREAMY BACON AND LEEK PASTA

This recipe for Creamy Bacon and Leek Pasta was one of the first new ones I tried and let’s just say…I’ve made it three times already, and it’s only February!

AMAZON STOCKING STUFFERS FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!

Are you in the holiday spirit yet?! This year will definitely be different in many ways, but one thing still remains the same…the need for finding awesome and useful gifts for our loved ones!

Just yesterday we added another guide to that list – stocking stuffers for kids. Our love for stocking stuffers is still going strong (stockings are truly my favorite part of Christmas gift giving/receiving!) and our love of Amazon…well, let’s not even discuss how many orders we’ve placed during the pandemic alone.… Read more
