With the holidays quickly approaching, our calendars are going to start filling up with parties and celebrations. I love it! It’s my favorite time of the year for so many reasons, but especially for the fun time with family and friends. It makes my heart so happy.

Pie dough scraps = pie chips!

Whenever I make a pie, I always turn the leftover pie crust scraps into cinnamon sugar chips. Simply baking the pie crust with a sprinkling of cinnamon and sugar on top. During the holiday season, I seem to be making more pies so that means even more cinnamon sugar chips! My kids love and I seriously can’t stop eating them.
