As a parent, especially if you are a new … [Read more...]

For as long as I can remember my choice of tea has always been orange pekoe and I can tell you that I've been trained to make the perfect pot of tea. I can also tell you that my husband thinks that the English way of making tea and the habit of never washing one's teapot is just not right. Tea making, my friends, is almost always bound to create … [Read more...]

When it comes to breakfast I love to keep it simple. When I was 16 I went on a trip to Cuba where I fell in love with the traditional Cuban breakfast of espresso with milk, fresh fruit and a simple piece of grilled bread.

There is nothing like fresh fruit, something warm and toasted and coffee at breakfast. Muffins smothered in butter, fresh doughnuts still a little bit warm, and who can forget cinnamon buns and don't forget danishes. All delicious treats but so full of unnecessary calories and fat. I usually stick with oatmeal and half a grapefruit for breakfast to avoid all … [Read more...]
