I had a big decision to make and you know what that means – coffee talk with the girls! I was home on the Friday before Labor Day and bribed five friends over for coffee and nibbles. Who could resist that? I decided to serve the House Blend by Millstone since it is a well-balanced…
Another benefit of having a garden is that it can serve as a meal or recipe inspiration. Inspiration out of necessity that is. We planted four Kale plants and guess what? Each plant makes quite a bit of Kale. Therefore, my Portuguese hubby thought it was the perfect opportunity to fulfill my son’s request for…
Last week, a magical package showed up at my door. It introduced itself as ‘Greek’s Creamy French Cousin’, Petite Crème. Seriously, a lovely box of the yogurt arrived and we attacked it as if we hadn’t eaten in a week. Some of us enjoy Greek yogurt, and some do not but I tell you what,…
