POM Wonderful sent me a box of pomegranates. It’s pomegranate season and I have been enjoying making different recipes that incorporate pomegranates. The holiday season is here and I welcomed it with open arms with this festive loaf. This bread is definitely different with nutty taste of pistachios, the unique tartness of the pomegranate and […]
I am a visual person, and I love capturing things, places and people that makes me happy. I love posting my pictures on Instagram, and have completely ditched Facebook for most part.
