    Famous Chicken Enchiladas, It’s What’s For Dinner!

    10/19 /No Comments

    Now that I have your attention! This recipe is the most requested in my house and they are famous in my house and friend group.

    07/10 /No Comments

    “Some of the links below are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase” I use this recipe for almost all my cut-out cookies. The texture is perfect and the cookies hold their shape perfectly. I change out the extracts for a variety of flavor and decorate with glaze, a simple buttercream or sanding sugar. I have a Cuisinart Stand Mixer that I love and use religiously. If you don’t have one I highly recommend. There are a ton of attachments that you can purchase separately that are too fun to not add to your kitchen…
