A few weeks ago I was in Minneapolis attending a Creative Memories convention. Hard to believe but I’ve been doing it for 19 years! One of the best parts of going is getting to spend time with my friend Deb. Even though we only see each other once a year or so, each time we [...]

Despite the long name of the dish it is a quick and easy one to prepare. It is perfect for this time of the year when all those cherry tomatoes in the garden are ripe! If you don’t have cherry tomatoes just chop up any type of tomato. This dish is one of my “go [...]
