Posted by jen on August 28th, 2009

The Suburban Mom Cheese Plate…

On a trip to Costco today, my husband found a package of mini brie wheels. Since he has a love for all things mini and brie, we bought some. On the way home he mentioned that he couldn’t wait to try his cheese. I was happy to inform him that we also had crackers at [...]
