However, for now my tomatoes …
Happy New Year! I know it’s been a little quiet here, and I never got the chance to wish everyone a Merry Christmas or recap the best recipes of the year. It’s because we spent the holidays with my in-laws in Florida, and I thought that I would have time to blog while there and …

We are already midway through September and I’m hoping that Fall weather will magically happen. I have already enjoyed my first PSL on ice (that’s Starbucks code for Pumpkin Spice Latte) because in SoCal our temps are still resembling summer beach days.
