My husband and I just got back from beautiful Mauritius, where we visited our friends for the second time since they moved there. You can check the Sneak Peek ‘Curious in Mauritius’ that I wrote after our first visit and the recently released ‘Curious in Mauritius – Taking Another Peek’ with the latest discoveries.
This time we traveled with our friends to the Seychelles. It was like taking vacation from vacation! […]
It has been easy for this Italian dessert to gain world fame. The perfect way all the ingredients harmonized and its smoothness make it an outstanding sweet delight. […]
Fall is here so you can find amazing pumpkin patches, showing pumpkins in all shapes, sizes, and colors. […]
A very versatile recipe that can be used as a topping for ice cream or any other desserts like cheesecake, rice or semolina puddings, pancakes, and waffles. Any other idea? The topping can be served warm or cold. […]
