I have always dreamed one day to own a cafe. Nothing big, just small, quaint and a limited menu that would change by season. My thought & ideas keep changing over the years….wide plank hardwood floors, chalkboard with menu items that would include panninis, fresh salads, quiche and a wine bar. It would have a rustic feel that is welcoming, warm and relaxing.
I still don’t know where I want this cafe to be or even when that will be, but I DO know that is will happen one day. So for now, I would like to have my virtual cafe where I can share some of my favorite recipes, meals that I have prepared for friends and events I have catered. I also hope to create new menu items for your reading and hopefully recipe testing.
Cooking should be easy, relaxing and enjoyable. I hope I can share and teach you how to make it that same experience for you.
