Things that I have been loving lately. Godiva Coffee I received samples of Godiva’s flavored coffee thru Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program. I have been enjoying them and will replenish my supply soon.

We are going on vacation and heading south of the border! Be… Right… Back… See you next week 🙂
We’ve had beautiful weather around here. I am enjoying it while it lasts. Heard there’s a storm coming soon. Admiring the last of the ripe oranges. They are sour though 😦 And enjoying the last of the beautiful plumerias. It might be the last bloom until next season. My mother-in-law gave us a few plumeria […]

I am all about short cuts on days where life gets really busy, and that includes short cut on food preparation. I do my best to have at least 2 servings of vegetables every day. I usually eat vegetables with my lunch and dinner plate. Frozen vegetable packs are a staple in our freezer because […]
