The Fall is almost here!
I’m definitely not ready to say goodbye to Summer just yet! Technically, Summer in the Northern Hemisphere spans from the end of June to September 22 (the autumnal equinox), so I’m sticking with the official calendar and keeping it Summer until then. That said, I’ve already started seeing hints of Fall on my hikes this past week. The leaves are starting to change, and it’s hard to deny how beautiful it is. Check out these photos I snapped!
Hello from Croatia! I enjoy your recipes and cook them with my mom. Thank you!
Hi Nika - I have been to Croatia in 2019!! What a beautiful country. We visited Split and nearby areas and even went sailing for 3 days. Gorgeous!!
Your photography is fantastic! I cooked a few of your recipes, but I just love getting inspiration from your photos (which are awesome!) .... Thank you
Thank you, Leslie, for following along with me!
I just discovered your recipes through FB, and everything I’ve tried so far has been delicious! I am now looking forward to your weekly meal plans.
Hi Julie, I am glad you find my meal plans helpful!
I wait for this email every week . I never have to think what I am going to make for dinner.
