I am blessed to have many gal pals that also share my passion for good food. I love to try new restaurants and look forward to the 'pot-..

Crispy Brussel Sprout Chips are so delicious. They were wonderful hot (sans dip since I didn’t have the ingredients) and later straight from the frig with Tzatziki dip.
