Simple Puff Pastry Bones for Halloween
I had this cool idea for some Halloween appetizers a few weeks back but I didn’t know how they would turn out.

My first attempt lacked flavour so I had another try. The next … [Read more...]

Sour cream and chive would have to be a classic dip flavour. The best thing about … [Read more...]
