Last week I shared my Top 10 Reasons to Visit Prague. This wonderful city is so full of charm you may never want to leave.

Within a couple hours from Prague there are all sorts of marvelous things to see and do. There are stunning national parks, whimsical villages, towering castles, and renowned Czech breweries....

You need one bowl to make super moist apple muffins at home. All you need to do is combine the ingredients in a bowl and voila batter is ready to bake.

There is something serene about starting the day with a cup of freshly brewed coffee and a home-baked muffin....

Rum Party Punch With July 4th just around the corner, it’s important to start planning your Independence Day menu. I like to keep the food and planning simple around the holidays… It’s easy to get carried away and stressed out, isn’t it?

I recommend using in-season fruits to get the best results....

Southern cooks are serious cooks. Don’t be misled by the warm hospitable smile or charming southern draw. Cooking is a serious business down here.

We’ve all been in that grocery aisle where all the canned goods are shown. You can see different ready-to-eat meals there but you know better than to buy instant food. I personally prefer making your own meal from scratch especially with chicken ala king and I hope you do too. The flavors of this dish lies more on the soul that you put into it than the ingredients. That’s why homemade chicken ala king hits differently than their canned counterpart....
