I love entertaining in the summer. It’s so much more relaxed and laid back. I love entertaining, period, but summer gatherings call for family-style lunches, cool drinks, and fun in the sun with neighbors and friends. My go-to appetizer dip...
Way back in January when the year was fresh and New Year's resolutions were percolating, I got inspired to try a new diet. I'm not the type of person to succumb to fads, but I am a fan of...
