Brunch

Friday evenings at our home are made for relaxing and chilling with a great drink and perhaps some Avocado Hummus or White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Craisin Cookies.  I recently read Recipe for Joy and knew that I just couldn’t wait to try a Pomegranate Cocktail.  I especially love it because we can make the alcoholic version [...]

Isn’t it funny how many foods take us right back to our childhood?  Sometimes just the word itself, others just the smell will take you back to your childhood.  For me, one of those foods is tuna fish salad.  When I was a child, we would eat dinner every night at 5 o’clock.  The news [...]
