AJ and I are detoxing! As if there is any question, I love to eat:) I’m not one to “diet”, I don’t like feeling deprived and, while no saint, I keep a balanced nutritious diet. However, a couple weeks ago, I woke up groggy and realized the “moving parts” in our lives were starting […]
Hot olives, creamy goat cheese and a crisp panko crust? Yes, I’m in love. Go beyond the cheese board and crudite- think hot, toasty amuse bouche and give your guests an extra bite that says you were expecting them. We all know the kitchen (no matter the size) is the favorite hang out in […]
