Thanks everyone for your kind notes and well-wishes. We escaped the hurricane unscathed. As you know, not everyone was as lucky. It pains me to see any community in distress but I am especially sadde...
I should be enjoying my beach vacation right now. Unfortunately, I cant because of this. Its 514 miles (827 kilometers) wide and they simply dont know what it will do. The good news? Were lucky becau...
Every once in a while there I things Id like to share with you that arent made of chocolate and cream. Sometimes its beautiful photography. Other times, I visit a place that I know youd love. And som...
How I love summer. The warmth, the fresh air, the color - I simply cant seem to soak in enough of this glorious weather. I dont know about you but Im almost panicked about how quickly its flying by. ...

Growing up, I was never a big fan of smores. I dont know why. They never tasted right to me. Maybe it was because I associated them with camping or summer camp, both of which I was definitely not a f...

I dont think its a stretch to say that I learned to bake in self-defense. I grew up surrounded by Ring Dings, Devil Dogs, Oreos and Chips Ahoy cookies - sickeningly sweet and processed. A layer of ch...
