I was outside, raking leaves in my front yard, the other day when it dawned on me that Halloween is only a week away! Although the air is brisk, and the days are shorter, I still can’t believe it’s autumn. It seems like only yesterday that I was basking in the warm summer sun, next to a tempting … [Read more...]
RECIPE: FRESH MOZZARELLA SALAD
Now that the school year is back in full swing, I’m reminded of two things: 1) how quickly time flies and 2) how much I love simple recipes.

FEATURED RECIPE: GREEN TEA PUNCH
The second best thing I like doing with watermelon — other than eating it — is drinking it. What I love most about watermelon beverages is that you don’t waste much of the melon to make it.

RECIPE: WATERMELON AND SHRIMP PICO DE GALLO
As a self-proclaimed lover of Mexican food (which is an understatement), I have to admit something that may be shocking and/or disappointing. I don’t actually know what Pico de Gallo is.
