Halloween Festivities

Posted on November 1, 2010September 7, 2012 by Jacky Hackett

What a beautiful day we had for Halloween.  Sure it was a bit chilly when you were not in the sun, but it could have been a ton worse.  I swear it rained or was freezing every year growing up.  We spent the day at a friend’s block party before heading out to trick or…

Halloween Costumes Aplenty

Posted on October 29, 2010 by Jacky Hackett

Halloween Snack Mix

Posted on October 22, 2010October 1, 2012 by Jacky Hackett

I have been making this snack mix for years, it gets devoured by kids and adults.  The salty sweet is such a good combination, the tang of the cranberries adds the unexpected.  It couldn’t be easier to throw together and the colors are perfect for fall.
