That in and of itself should explain the distinctive name this tasty little recipe. I actually came up with this idea […]

YA’LL. I know, I know, I know–this blog post is looonnngggg overdue. The truth is I actually went to Cuba way back in September…of 2017. *insert shameful face emoji here* Despite the delayed recap post about my travels however, the spirit of Cuba that was imparted into my soul is just as deep as it was the […]
Y’ALL. I have discovered a bubbly that has me professing my undying love! So listen: THE very 1st sip of this Ulysse Collin ‘Les Maillons’ Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut made me audibly utter “Ooh yes, baby!” before I could catch myself.
