I'm constantly in awe of all the foods out there that I do not know. I feel like my taste is very expansive. I've tried so many new, different foods over the years.

Fried Green Tomato & Pimiento Cheese Stacks

Since I had been waking up "early" for work the past week (8am), I couldn't sleep in on our Saturday off together...I woke up at 7am! Rob was not very happy about the early wake up call,… Continue reading Asparagus & Gruyere Tartlets
