Cooking - Fashion - Chex Muddy Buddies

Yeah!! Julie & Julia starts today!! Here, is the fashion part......Remember when your mom wore an apron? Does anyone wear aprons today. When cooking spaghetti sauce the other day it was kind of splattery, so I changed into an old t-shirt. I should have had a fashionable apron.

I can't really cook....So, a personal favorite of mine is the Chex Muddy Buddy. Recipe to follow.
