I had way too much fun this weekend – starting with the fact that I took Friday off and turned it into a three-day weekend. Plus, the weather was GLORIOUS. It felt like summer – finally!

I love key lime pie but I rarely make it. I have no idea why that is? And I’m bent on changing this ASAP. Key lime pie is everything we need in a summery dessert – plus it reminds me of an awesome trip we had with my brother’s family in the Keys a few […] Read more…
I am sitting in the Detroit airport right now, enjoying – really enjoying, actually – a little quiet time to reflect on the meeting I just attended.

Whew! I’m looking forward […] Read more…

I do a fair amount of home cooking, even on weeknights so I always have eggs (regular conventionally-raised eggs, by the way), meats (A LOT Of turkey, of course), pasta, bread, rice, seasonings, etc. at the ready.

(You do need to be watchful during all parts of the preparation/cooking, though!) Did you know? Flan is a Mexican custard that can be served warm or cold with garnishes such as strawberries, […] Read more…
