A great round-up, Liz! Oh yes, those potatoes — yum! I missed the chili cheese dip, but just pinned for Superbowl.
You’ll love the dip, Amy! My husband wants me to make a big ol’ double batch for Super Bowl Sunday. Thanks so much for your sweet comments!
These are all great! I’m hoping to make the MasonJar soap dispenser today!
Thank you, Amberly!! I love those soap dispensers in my kitchen! I bet they’ll look great in yours too!
Just pinned a bunch of these great ideas!
Thanks for the pins, Jenny! Hugs! 🙂
