Fall is officially upon us.  Days are shorter, cooler, and I am craving some delicious soup to warm me up.  Today I am sharing some …

Do you put dinner on the table and wish it looked like it did in that Pinterest pin?  Do you wonder why your chicken looks …

It stands up to being dressed before the party, and even the leftovers are delish right out of the fridge.
