My affinity for brunching began when I was living in New York. If I had the rare treat of a Sunday morning off from work, there was no question what the plans of the day included because they always, without question, included brunch. I’m not talking about some fancy meal between breakfast and lunch – … More Public House Brunch
1. Mast Brothers Serrano flavored dark chocolate
I was one of those kids growing up who hated eggs. I thought they were gross, weird looking, and refused to touch them.

Why I do this to myself … I will never know. But here I go again, blogging on an empty stomach. Sure, it’s about noon and all I’ve had is a lean pocket (which was awful, by the way) but I’ve had a list of things to do this morning and I refuse to sit … More Lemon Ricotta Waffles with Blueberry Syrup

I really … More Happy Birthday, Ina
