Devouring life, one bite at a time
My good friends know that I have trouble transitioning into summer drinks, given my passion for porters, stouts and whiskeys during the cooler months. Don’t get me wrong, I love a cosmo or a gin and tonic as much as a gal can, but finding …
Have you ever made chocolate truffles from scratch? If you’ve followed my previous blogs, you know I make them pretty often for parties (they’re especially great for vegetarians and those on gluten-free diets, don’t need their own plates or utensils, are so rich and decadent …
