  • Hands up if your McDonald's nugget order includes hot mustard! While not exactly the same, this Hot Mustard Sauce is an extraordinary substitute for the real deal in a pinch. Easy to make and fantastic as a dip, sauce and spread on anything your mustard-loving heart desires.

    Hot Mustard Sauce (McDonald’s Almost Copycat)

    I'm a HUGE fan of McDonald's Hot Mustard Sauce. It's my top choice, if they don't have hot mustard, I will switch my entire order for something that doesn't require dipping. I have been really lucky out here, though, most of the time it's available, I do cross my fingers when I order because that well could run dry any day. So, to avoid the mustard sauce draught, I decided to come up with my own version. This way when I open that takeout bag and the mustard is missing, I'm already covered!

    Rice Krispie Cheddar Crackers

    The first time I stayed at my husband's apartment I reorganized all of his cupboards, no lie. I'm a little embarrassed to tell you this. Who does that? In my defence, nothing had a home. I don't know how anyone lives in that kind of chaos. Now, I don't mean a couple of things were out of place. I'm talking four plates in one cupboard, while two were in another. Five glasses next to the cereal, while the bowls were down with the pots. Needless to say, I reorganized EVERYTHING! As silly as it sounds there was one storage container that found…
