It’s officially October, my favorite month of the year! Here in Texas, the temps are no longer consistently 102 degrees (we get a reprieve of low 90’s!) and Halloween season is upon us!

Old School Recipe Swap

They’re pretty easy to make so I like to have them on hand for our cocktail hours or to take over when visiting friends (pre-Covid, of course. sigh.) I’ve even put them in a mason jar, wrapped with a cute bow, and gifted them to our new… Read More
