Just as we begin to breathe from the holiday hustle and bustle…Valentines Day sneaks up on us. With the economy and the many challenges we all face, I have elected to start a campaign encouraging people to do what I think is one of the most romantic things a couple can do for each other….stay home and cook a fabulous dinner together. You can still dress up, after you finish cooking of course!





Recently, a friend and I had a conversation about cookbooks. We debated over what makes a cookbook “good” and what makes us actually purchase one. For me, because we have A LOT of cookbooks, A LOT as in a whole wall plus some, it has to be pretty special for me to purchase it. But there are some books or specific things I recommend to people when they need one.
