It snowed for two days and the low tonight will be 4 degrees. It’s the perfect day to be lazy, enjoy the beauty of Colorado and warm our bones. A great start to an evening of yummy food on this blustery day was a Fireball Hot Toddy. Enjoy! Fireball Hot Toddy 4 oz hot...

It doesn’t have to be fancy to be good. Especially when this recipe comes from a book named “Quick & Easy Dump Dinners” – I kid you not! My son, Branden was teasing me a couple of years back about something I made and asked if it comes from the Dump Dinners...
