You’re the cutest! I’m going to print these tips and put them inside my cupboard.
I’m always surprised by how I love every article you write. Somehow it’s always fresh and I really like your writing style. I don’t tend to cook from cookbooks often but I’ve bought both of yours just to read! I think I own about 8 cookbooks total so that’s kind of a big deal 😉
Spot on. Having guests over can be so much fun but at times daunting. As long there’s good food and good company, everything should be alright!
