Dolly Parton was and always will be one of the kindest, most talented, and loving people this world has ever seen.

Tip Tuesday:

We have all been there, half-way through cooking and realizing you are missing an important ingredient. Or maybe not knowing that half of that cheese was supposed to be saved for later in the recipe.

Reading through the entire recipe ensures you have all the ingredients and they are being used in the correct amounts and order.
