Sauerkraut, Spare Ribs, and Kielbasa
Happy Monday everyone! We are on our second week of recipes and I’m so excited to share this Sauerkraut, Spare Ribs, and Kielbasa recipe with you. It is super easy to make with very little prep time.

Ooey Gooey Sugar Cookie Stack
This is a re-post with more links and baking tidbits added for your benefit. In this recipe I used caramel and chocolate as my toppings.

Cut 1-2 bananas into pieces and coat with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, 1/2...
