Folks it has been far too long. And in truth I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to revive this blog, or myself in terms of creating and sharing my favorite foods and creations. As I like to write in “bites” I […]

That’s a mouthful! But seriously it is a tasty mouthful. So… confession. I made this MONTHS ago but it was right about when I was becoming allergic to everything. It tasted so so good but then I couldn’t eat much. I’m about to give the […]
