Missing you… Hey, hi there…have you missed me? I didn’t mean to be away so long, but I’ve had to prioritize lately…. 1.) Family, 2.) Real Estate, 3.) Social Media Consulting, 4.) Holiday Baskets…volunteer work…cats…eat….sleep…repeat… Yeah, it’s that time of the year. The world switches into hyper-drive; what’s that about “falling back”?

Hello food-lovin’ friends! I have finally emerged from the “rabbit hole” this week (more on that later…) and am happy to celebrate the start of our beloved Minnesota State Fair!

I love Margarita’s….always have. Over the years, I’ve refined my taste for them…originally loving the super sweet, slushy kind you get from one of those big Margarita machines, but now loving the traditional kind, good tequila, lime juice, ice, salt and a splash of Grand Marnier.
