When it comes to food, nothing says "summer" to me like berries (OK, and ice cream ... and tomatoes and basil). I love berries so much that when I developed a temporary allergy to them at 2-years-old, I convinced my unknowing grandmother that the only thing I was...
Lately, I've been drooling over recipes for summery, fruity muffins - they've been popping up on blogs, on Pinterest, and in magazines, and I was determined to create some for myself. I'm the first to admit that I love a good muffin, but some readily available...
How was your 4th of July? Did you try my circuit workout? Hopefully, you're enjoying a long weekend, but even if you have to work today, I have a recipe for you to look forward to this weekend. Two foods that "scream summer" to me are tomatoes and basil, and this...
