This isn’t a little car show.  It’s absolutely HUGE.  There were four sections with rows and rows and rows of cars.  In D’s honor, I took quite of few pictures of car…

Namaste Foods takes pride in meeting the needs of people with food allergies. Not only are their products all natural and certified kosher, but they are also processed in a dedicated facility that is free of gluten, wheat, potato, soy, corn, dairy, tree nuts, peanuts & casein. We had the pleasure of trying out 2 of Namaste Foods baking mixes: Blondies and Biscuits, Piecrusts & More! We started off with the Blondie mix.  Unfortunately, I made the mistake of using olive oil in the baking process instead of coconut oil, so out blondies tasted a bit like olive oil.  (They…
