I think I need a new research {ie: travel} project. You know, like does biscotti made in Italy taste any different than biscotti made in my kitchen? I think I should somehow pitch this “project” to the Handsome Husband. I could take The Girl with me and make it an educational adventure as well. What Read More >>

When life gives you free apples, make apple chips I say. Not only are apple chips incredibly delicious, they are good for you too. The Girl and I made several batches of dehydrated apples over the weekend, and now they are all gone. The only problem of course, is keeping them in the pantry. Yesterday, Read More >>
