Lego Party Round-Up
If you have young boys (or even older boys), then it’s very likely that their life revolves around LEGO creations like ours does. I love it and encourage the creativity that LEGOs provide. Both my boys play with them almost exclusively, so it was no surprise when they came to me requesting a LEGO themed birthday party. Even though they are two years apart they wanted the same party!

Superbowl Chili
Every time we host a super bowl party at our house, I make this chili. It works great in a crock pot or you can double the recipe and make it in a stock pot if you have a large crowd. We always set out toppings so each guest can dress it up to their liking. Topping ideas: Sour Cream Grated Cheddar Cheese Chives Bacon Jalepenos It’s always a crowd pleaser and makes wonderful leftovers during the warm winter months. Of course chili is great paired with corn bread, but these homemade cheesy crackers are pretty amazing too!

Cowboy Cheese Crackers
The first time I made these was for my son’s cowboy birthday party. We loved them so much that we have made them again and again over the years. They taste great paired with a hot bowl of chili!
