I’m one of those “the spicier the better” kind of people, so I’ll line up for pretty much anything with spicy peppers in it. This is the best ever Jalapeño Popper Dip! I’m a fan in general of jalapeños as you may be able to tell with our Bacon Jalapeño Pinwheels, Nacho Bites, and Santa […]

What’s a mama to do?! I don’t want to discourage him from choosing healthy snacks, so the easy solution […]
