Fresh summer tomatoes are one of my favorite ingredients to cook with.  When we have visited Europe you see most menus cater to what is in season.  You don’t see artichokes in October or root vegetables in the spring.  In the US we definitely are […]

So lately there are two things I definitely don’t have time to do (well actually that list is way more than two).  Make a good breakfast and blog.  During the week we, I mean MY HUSBAND, makes us smoothies for breakfast.  Then on the weekends […]
