Sweet Potato-Apple Soup ~ Smooth, Creamy and Delicious

Sweet Potato-Apple Soup This is the time of year when I start making foods that are a little heavier ~ it’s something about the way I nest ~ fall = hearty in my mind.  I have a thing for sweet potatoes {they are full of nutrients} and apples which are especially delicious right now.  Combine […]

Holidays are usually the only times I set a formal table and when I do I like to pull out the cloth napkins and the iron.  Ironing table linens gives your table the final touch it needs to make your meal a special occasion. If you haven’t already done so, check your table linens and […]
