The Oh! Nuts company graciously allowed me to sample a number of their products recently. One of the items I selected was a bag of their dried blueberries. Now I’m a big fan of dried fruit. CK and I eat dried cranberries like it’s our job, but no dried fruit from Whole Foods, and on [...]

Bread Machine BFF

December 13, 2008

For many, many years I’ve hated making bread with a fiery passion, but not anymore thanks to the bread machine my mom gave me last Christmas.
