White Chocolate Fruit Dip {and Pie Filling}
No one can resist this White Chocolate Fruit Dip. It doubles as a pie filling, too! This is one of my favorite snacks. Emma loves it, too.

Today I have a favorite Jello recipe that I got from my sister-in-law, Heather. She has some great recipes and I'm … [Read more...]
