We’re still getting creative over here with the lack of food availability at the grocery store AND the “shelter state” quarantine for Coronavirus.I’m anxious. I’m nervous. I’m scared. AND, I’m out of supplies and cannot go to the grocery store! (Not that the market has much food around here anyway). So, I baked some Artisanal…

On a fairly recent trip to Colombia, we stopped overnight in Miami to rest before the BIG trip. We both so desperately wanted to make our way down to South Beach and see the sights, as I’ve never been. BUT, flights were late, we were tired, and just couldn’t muster the energy before our early…

While not everyone is a fan of repurposing foods and leftovers, I find it to be quite an innovative and efficient way to cook.

I recently saw a pretty catchy video on YouTube… Fun, dynamic, spunky ~ It made me think I really need to step up my game! Alas, I’m already feeling absolutely as busy as a bee these days and the thought of tackling another video project overwhelms me to no end. The idea makes me want to hideaway…

My hubby is incredibly talented and extremely gifted in so many areas. He’s a genius ~ a wizard ~ downright incredible. His background and creative mindset is quite different from mine, though. He didn’t come from a “foodie” and flavor infused family. Honestly, who did? I am a rare breed, that’s for sure. There certainly…
