SWEET

Chocolate is my weakness. It always has been. However, I have been on a caramel kick lately. I’ll take hard caramel in the form of brittle or single-wrapped candies, but My current love is soft, ooey gooey caramel covered in dark chocolate. I could eat my weight in the stuff. This next call doesn’t want your caramel; they want your craft–hard or soft. Take a look…

PRETTY PlEASE

Food marks most of the special occasions in my life from birthdays and vacations to weddings and anniversaries. Some of you are aware that my husband Jon and I sing together as the Pea Pickin’ Hearts, and food often makes our gigs memorable too. One of my favorite gigs includes the Spring & Fall Gatherings at the Cliff Dwellers Gallery, where we sing on the front porch and are rewarded with a pea-themed lunch. This next Call is a perfect fit for the ladies of the Cliff Dwellers, and hopefully it will be a fit for you too…
