Goat Cheese Bruschetta Layered Dip

Last weekend, I was at a Norwex Party where the hostess had the most beautiful spread of food on a gorgeous high top glass table. It all looked so elegant, but one of the appetizers in particular caught my eye.

Setting out to re-create this beautiful appetizer, I realized how easy it actually was to make. Literally, it took me … Continue reading →

I happened to have money that I got for my birthday and it was the same amount as this Dino. My Mom let me buy it, but I had to carry it home. I swear it wasn’t heavy when I picked it up, … Continue reading →
