Miller Minutes
There’s always talk of traditions and nostalgia as the calendar flips to December. What I look forward to most when that time comes, is the special food.
Chex Mix, oyster crackers, pizelles, buckeyes, Christmas ham; you name it, I’m a fan.
We wait all year to enjoy the food we love with those we love. If we ate these treats at any other time of year, they probably wouldn’t be as special.
This weekend, you can make fun memories surrounding food at some of the following events.
