A Book Review: Hyphenated Relations by Daniel Maunz
It’s another stop on the TLC Book Tour. This time I revisit a favorite author. Thanks to Daniel Maunz and Lisa at TLC for the opportunity to read Maunz’ second novel. (I received a free review copy by the author for the tour. I assure you I was not paid for this review and all opinions,…
“In My Kitchen” May 2023
I feel like there’s less and less new things to highlight in my kitchen with each passing month. I can’t just highlight the last farm bag no matter how great it was. Honestly, The Hubs seems to be cooking more on his outdoor griddle than I am cooking in my kitchen. (The griddle was highlighted…

March 2023 “In My Kitchen”
Why is it that February always seems like the longest month? In those short twenty-eight days, there were actually a lot going on in the kitchen. Let’s start with Valentine’s Day. I bought these (fairly expensive) caramels for The Hubs. There were some great combos in this box—ginger, numerous types of sea salt and my…
