Posted by on

Oh, the comforting, delicious flavor of quiche. I love them—and to me, they never go in or out of fashion. What’s not to love–cheese, eggs and your favorite fillings.

But, first, let me share with you a story about my friend. She has been my friend for over 30 years—and we love talking about food—but also sharing stories about our husbands, kids, and anything life throws our way.

What’s for dinner is a never ending question. With all of the rushing, a hot nourishing meal is often just out of reach. This soup is the answer to great, easy family meals. [Read more…]

It is here! Pop the Champagne and shout with joy! Delicious Poke Cakes is available now! We want to celebrate every test, taste and word—and share our gratitude for the people who helped us through the tasty journey.

It takes more than a year for a new book to be released. It is unbelievable that last fall at this time, we had just turned in the manuscript. It takes months to even get to that spot, so it is a journey—a fun journey, but still a journey. [Read more…]
