Teriyaki Chicken Wraps Recipe (or Turkey!)

One of my favorite parts of visiting Aubrey’s house is picking up some of her recipes. She is always cooking something healthy that I have never had before.  She made Teriyaki Chicken Wraps one night that were delicious, and even better left over for lunch the next day.

Candy Apples Recipe

I can’t believe that Fall is here because just yesterday it was 104 degrees! Well, we finally had a cold front over night and it dipped enough for me to open the windows, yay. Temperatures dipped and I got to dipping candy apples. I have made caramel apples before but this was my first time [...]
