While our children might take a nap on the tack trunk we swap a recipe or two! Ive told my family that if I Loved cooking as much as I love horses they would be a well fed bunch! I love horses more than cooking but love my kids too so I had to compromise! A quick easy recipe I always try- the good ones I keep! Butterscotch crackle is a favorite in the fall and works great as that special treat tucked away in their lunch bags for school. My husband loves it too so in that Im very lucky!
