Foodie Pen Pals – August’s Haul
I’ve written before about this fun program, Foodie Pen Pals – check it out, you can opt in a month at a time, so you’re not signing your life away to participate. This month my Foodie Pen Pal was Carly from Maryland. She treated me to a selection of her favorite items including: Cheddar […]
My Writing Elsewhere – Dragon Con edition

Vintage Jello Salad Gifting
One family recipe you will find at any and all holiday gatherings is our Cranberry Salad.

As my Mom’s birthday was coming up, I knew I wanted to do something with […]
