I can't wait to try these, and the great thing is...I won't even have to go grocery shopping!!! Because Missy also sent me a bunch of the ingredients I need for some of these recipes! Like bags of coconut and chocolate chips, boxes of pudding and Dream Whip, packets of taco seasoning and ranch dressing mix, and a little bag of coffee! Wow!
And also I got the cutest pink Mickey and Minnie pot holder set and oven mitt, Disney tissues, and a Little Mermaid dish towel. Thank you so much, Missy, I love everything! You are the greatest!

I'm glad you liked it. I know how it can be frustrating when you want to try a new recipe but don't have all the ingredients. This way, you can try a few without leaving home!

I recommend the Toll House Crumbcake highly. Every time I make it, it disappears.
