Babes playing in the Pumpkin Patch

by

Rustic Pumpkin-Shaped Bread. Apparently it’s all the rage – in the U.S. and on the internet. I left the U.S. before the pumpkin spice craze started.

Bread Baking Babes Olive Oil Wreathes

by

One of the things I miss about living in Andorra is being able to buy good olive oil at a reasonable price. It’s also one of the things I miss about our trips to Spain. I usually came home with three 5 litre cans and three 3 litre cans of good olive oil for cooking … Continue reading…
