Tea and Crumpets
There are so many delicious ways to transition from tea the drink to ‘tea’ the snack or small meal; all it takes are a few simple additions. At the lighter end of things there are biscuits or, if that isn’t going to satisfy your sweet tooth, there is the ever popular slice of cake. If… Continue reading

Cadbury Easter Candy: A Holiday Treat
There are few things that I enjoy more than hunting for Easter treats, particularly when the treats include a little (or a lot) of chocolate.
