New Product-Jif Whips Whipped Peanut Butter & S’mores
I was recently asked to try & review Jif Whips Whipped Peanut Butter & S’mores. I’ll confess, I had completely missed its debut on the market, and I guess it had been out a while. The whole idea of whipped … Continue reading

Baking. It’s the one place that can inspire sheer terror in many novices, along with being asked to prepare a holiday dinner. It doesn’t have to be frightening, and it’s not as difficult as some people would like to convince … Continue reading
