Life In Pleasantville
Food, Travel, Life
When I say this creamy jalapeno dip is dangerously addictive, I’m not exaggerating. It has ruined me for other dips — and I don’t say that lightly. This is the kind of party food that quietly shows up, sits down on the snack table, and steals the entire show. People hover. People dip. People demand …
Summer is officially here and for me that means kids. Lot of kids. They tend to gravitate to our house and I’m 100% good with it except that I serve way more lunches during the summer than I do the whole school year! I keep a steady supply of frozen pizzas and hot dogs on …
