MONDAYS WITH MELANIE November 15, 2021

It’s chili season! You need to make my cowboy cornbread recipe. Bethany has requested this for her birthday. I will make gluten-free using my favorite g-f flour.

Darrin requested Chicken and Dumplings for his childhood birthdays. I made several recipes before I perfected this one. In honor of his late Mom Peggy.

Mel B’s Ice Cream - Made this chocolate ice cream & it was a huge hit at my house last week.

Tried a new recipe and everyone loved it. Instant Pot Chicken and Noodles. Delicious!!

Thanksgiving menu ideas - I’m working on my list to share with you later this week. I have classics/favorites and new recipes that I’m going to make. Stay tuned!

I always make a trip to area dollar stores (Family Dollar, General Dollar, etc.) to stock up on to-go containers to send leftovers home with family and friends.

Just ordered this cute cast iron pumpkin pot in time for Turkey day

Best Small Towns - Aerial America - Darrin and I have made watching this show a Sunday morning tradition. Travel the world from the comfort of your couch. This episode is one of our favorites.

Bucket List - Ketchum Idaho - has anyone skied Sun Valley? Take me away!

A few of my favorites- hair products - Dallas and Balloon by R + Co. Their packaging is super cool!

Yoga with Puppies is back this Saturday, November 20 at Great Plains SPCA. It’s so much fun!
