It is time to revisit my summer reading list. I read a few of the books that I set out to read last June, and I also read a few that were not on the list – more about that later. One book I read and really enjoyed was A Man Called Ove: A Novel …
Close your eyes and imagine walking into a home where fresh baked cinnamon bread was just pulled from the oven. That sweet aroma makes me swoon.

I drove well over 5,000 miles this summer. The majority of that was my road trip to North Dakota through the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park with a return trip through Glacier National Park. That trip in of itself was over 4,400 miles. A day after I returned from that trip I was back in …

This is the ideal dessert for a Moroccan inspired dinner or for that matter, the perfect dessert for anytime. It really is scrumptious! I am all about chocolate, but sometimes you want something …
