Perfect amount of sweet and heat!
I gave it 4 stars because when I received the wind-chime, I had to put it back together. The chains all came apart. Not that big of a deal. Just a tad annoying. It's a birthday gift so I wanted it to be perfect!!! Love the slug bugs!!
The cake was okay but didn’t have as much taste as I’d expected. We ate it (with ice cream) but it is not one I would buy again.
Adore this sticker!!! Well made and shipped super fast
Loved it! It was a huge hit at our Pink Out celebration!
I’ve searched for a long time to find a Belgian waffle mix that delivers that distinct restaurant-quality crispness, and Heartland Gourmet Belgian Waffle Mix finally checks all the boxes. The waffles come out golden with that perfect crisp on the edges while staying soft and fluffy inside. It is the closest I have come to recreating that classic Belgian waffle taste and texture at home, and it is absolutely worth it.
Such a user friendly, mom friendly, easy to do cookbook either recipes that make dinner a breeze! Lots of good go to's! My husband is THE pickiest eater and every recipe so far he has loved! And makes for beautiful countertop display!
Beautiful photos, readable recipes, and delicious results! Makes a terrific gift, too.
Friends in Alaska from Nebraska going without Dorothy, supply chain gets bad in the winter up there. Pleasantly surprised at the low shipping cost. This made for big smiles and friendship perks👍
