About a month ago, I went from writing group to a Norwex party with Marci and bought a few cleaning products that I still haven't used (haven't cleaned, since!) but our hostess served some snacky things that had me ooohing and ahhhhing...
Since, I have made both recipes. The dip for just me and Emma one evening (foolish since it makes enough for an army) and the Brie I made for our last wine club gathering. Like most recipes I attempt, I had questions and it seemed like I was doing something wrong. In the end, both turned out and were delicious!
