SLOPPY JO TATER TOT SKILLET RECIPE

SLOPPY JO TATER TOT SKILLET RECIPE

This past week has been a whirl of excitement. If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen some of my stories over there already.

I was invited to the Disney Social Media Mom’s Conference for their land and sea celebration. We spent 3 nights at Walt Disney World and then 3 nights on the Disney Wonder Cruise line. I took my husband for a little fun and relaxation. We got home late last night and now I feel like I need a vacation from my vacation.

• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp chili powder
