I’m currently having a love affair with my cookbooks. In fact, since Greg has been gone, I have a pile cozily lying next to me on my bed. I even just bought a professional pastry chef book this week. No seriously. This book is no joke. Like 4″ thick no joke. It lies in Greg’s spot for the…

Gluten-free Vegan Sugar-Coated Donuts
Gluten-Free Vegan Sugar-Coated Donuts Last night, I was caught watching the OWN station on television. I don’t usually make a habit of it typically but there was something about the Jane Fonda interview that rapidly caught my attention.

Sometimes all it takes is to see things from a different perspective and to present it to someone from a new angle. That is the secret to creativity. Nothing fancy or far off concepts to understand. It has taken…
Santa Claus is coming to town (on a plate)
F&B Virtual Advent Calendar countdown: For me, it’s difficult to remember the day my parents sat me down to tell me that Santa doesn’t exist.
