The Wait is OVER!! We are so excited!!


"The puppies are 'ere! The puppies are 'ere!"

Just kidding, no puppies are here, thank goodness. I mean we love puppies but we are happy with our older pups who like life in the slow lane. Kinda like us!

What is HERE is my NEW Blog DESIGN! Yep!! The last few months, my graphic designer has created the framework for a NEW design of my website and it is GLORIOUS!! I have been a little in the background while she completed it. It did take a little longer than either one of us wished but we both have lives and families, and they are always the priority in both our books. So we are both pleased when it went live this week. We will still find a few tweaks that need to be corrected but for now, it's all hands on deck and a GO!! "Happy Happy Dance"!!! It's much much easier to navigate, it's bright and beautiful and fresh. Plus you will find many recipes or crafts on the home page. The options are almost endless.

Now did someone say Fiesta??

Not sure if you celebrate Cinco de Mayo or not. It's more of a cultural or geographic holiday and many of us do, even if it's only for the food! And speaking of Food, we have you covered from Tex Mex to Baja recipes. You can either try a new recipe or enjoy a old favorite and create a "fiesta" of delicious dishes for you, your friends and your family.
