Spice Mix Party + 3 New Recipes
Take a gander at what a few girlfriends and I made at a Spice Mix Party we threw last month: I’m not sure if we created the idea of a Spice Mix Party, but it sure was fun! It all started with the realization of two Maximized mommy friends, Rachel and Jess, that pre-made spice…
