Tuscan Olive Oil – Olio Nuovo
Monday, November 29th, 2010
I freely admit it… I am addicted to olive oil. I have always enjoyed it, and while others have their addiction to butter (which I am sorry to say I don’t understand) my love affair is with olive oil. After living in Italy for 5 years, who could blame me? Some people love the Bistecca […]

Sweet Inspiration
Sunday, September 26th, 2010
Baking and cooking is an art. It is full of inspiration, creativity, adventure, risks, triumphs, and times when we don’t exactly triumph, but are hopefully inspired to try again with more awareness… Sound familiar?

Bee Pollen Smoothie
Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010
My friends started to consume bee pollen recently, and have turned me onto this amazing superfood. If you haven’t tried bee pollen before I definitely suggest it. A smoothie is a great way to acclimate to the unique flavors of bee pollen and to get a powerhouse of nutrients for breakfast, or a snack!
