I thought I would share some of my favorite Diana photos from our trip to Florida. Vacation is a wonderful thing because it really allows you to sit back, breath deeply and fully enjoy your family.

and I need this pasta to snap me out it. I’m not sure if it’s a food rut or a writing rut but it’s a rut nonetheless. I haven’t been excited about food which is baffling considering I have three new All-Clad pans that need breaking in, a new Jamie cookbook, a gorgeous baking book [...]
