Food, Family, and Lifestyle
Recall back about two weeks ago, I shared my excitement about my pair of Therafit Shoes for Women? Well, I have put these shoes to the test and love them. In fact, I am going to give a pair away but first, some important information! Do you want a chance to win a pair today…
I have been meaning to explore recipes using acorn squash so I picked one up at the market today. I wanted to give this recipe a try since my Portuguese husband enjoys chorizo. I followed this recipe as Richard Blais (Top Chef fame) created it although I used a cranberry relish instead of canned jelly…
