Back to the basics…love, laughter, good health and beer bread.

The Waldorf Salad…a dish to pass.
I call myself a potluck snob. Potlucks have never made my list of favorite things for several reasons. First, I’m very critical of other people’s food. I won’t spend more than one bite on mediocre cooking. Secondly, it takes several trips … Continue reading
