Holiday Party Mix

I haven't made this yet but a parent from my class made it for our class Christmas party. It was very good and the kids loved it. I thought I'd try it this coming holiday season.

Old and New Recipes

After the ladies lunchon that Aunt Pat set up for me I really wanted to make a place where I could post and share recipes I have learned and enjoyed. I really hope that if you have any tried and true recipes you want to share or something you tried for the first time recently that was wonderful please share it. I hope that this will inspire new and great dishes. If you have a picture of your dish that would a fun addition as well.
