Imagine yourself in the deepest, darkest jungle with dripping vine covered trees towering above your head. The sun can’t even break through the tangled mess.

Got a challenge that needs solving? Try reversing the peanut butter cup. I used to homeschool my youngest son (he’s now all grown up and graduated!). As part of his lessons, he chose to learn more about food and cooking. I was really fun for both of us and something we’ll always remember. The cool […]
