Can somebody please, p l e a s e slow time down for me? I can’t believe how quickly the final few months of the year go by. Once Halloween strikes, it’s like time goes into warp speed and we zoom past Thanksgiving and my birthday (November 27th) and right into Christmas–and holiday parties, and […]
Traveling and eating regional foods always inspires me to get back in the kitchen to try my hand at recreating flavors. Playing. Making them my very own.

They, like bacon, make everything just a bit more special! Tacos, chips, sandwiches […]
