Dallas Caramel Co. Melts in Your Mouth
I recently received a package in the mail from The Dallas Caramel Co. Team, and oh what a sweet box it was. 😉 (Pun intended!) Rain McDermott has been baking caramel in her kitchen since 2007. This year, she has finally launched her own brand, Dallas Caramel Company. Dallas Caramel Company comes in 12 different flavors, as well as original caramel. The flavors include Bacon, Sea Salt, Orange, Cinnamon, Coconut, Espresso, Chipotle, Amaretto, Drunken Nut, Pumpkin and Chai. I tried the original, Chai and Chipotle, and they are FANTASTIC!

In most cases, the sites were accessed unintentionally when a child, often in the process of doing homework, used a seemingly innocent word to search for information or pictures. 42% of parents do not review the content of what their teenagers read or type in chat rooms or via instant messaging. 50% of teens…

Kid-Made Chicken Parmesan Lasagna #RGLasagna
Most kids enjoy helping in the kitchen. While they help you cook, you can talk to them about healthy foods. After seeing my kids fall in love with MasterChef Junior, I thought it was time for my daughter to start cooking. With a little assistance from me, she had fun using her math skills and applying them to make a lasagna that Garfield would devour. I highly recommend you doing this with your children, at least if they are 8 years-old or older. Her confidence in the kitchen has risen, and I enjoyed seeing her shine. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that she will start making some meals in the…
