I love chipotle and I try to sneak it in to as many recipes as possible.  Though the smoky and tangy flavor is not one you can truly “sneak” in without someone noticing.  This Chipotle Pumpkin Hummus is the perfect way to get your family to enjoy some healthy snacking.  In my opinion, if you […]

You can follow along via: Twitter, Pinterest or Facebook and our readers preferred way via email. Paper Bags are so wonderful and versatile. I especially love using them for kid crafts.
