We don’t get out much. This year we managed an overnight to NYC where we were for a total of about ten hours before we had to head home. We also did take a trip to South Carolina where we actually got an entire weekend in. That is rare though as most of the year […]

Oh my, November has a load of great food holidays! November 10 is National Vanilla Cupcake Day! It is also the day that our children came to live with us six years ago. Definitely a reason to make cupcakes. Ahhhh! Where are my cupcake lovers? I think my love of cupcakes runs so deep because […]
Our Top 5 Fall Cookbook Picks
