Halloween goodies for Grand-babies

Original Chex Party Mix – always a hit
Been making Chex Party Mix since the 60’s. Back then it was made in the oven (microwaves hadn’t been invented yet!).

Before you hit the road – stocking your camp kitchen
Before we got our recreational vehicle (RV), my kitchen was two large homemade wooden boxes with drop-down fronts, an ice chest, a two burner propane camp stove, and the end of a picnic table. The RV kitchen (galley) I work in today has most of the comforts of home (although much smaller scale) including a Read More >>
