Life is busy. There are many days I come home and just don’t have time to spend cooking. There are other things around the house to take care of that are more important than spending hours in the kitchen. That’s where I let the grocer’s freezer section give me a hand.

The Best & Worst “Let It Go” Covers/Parodies from Disney’s Oscar Winning ‘Frozen’

Some of them are awesome and some of them are terrible, honestly. Here are a few that stuck out to me. Oh, and […]
