Mango makes the best tea! I’ve had fresh mango in salads and mango salsa, but to me, the best way to enjoy Mango is in fresh iced tea! It’s one of the flavors I use for iced tea in the summer when I prefer something fruity. Sometimes, I mix it with peach or apricot or

When I saw that Lollipop Day was one of the National “holidays” for July, I knew I had to write about it. I went and emptied my purse and found that I had four lollipops in there. A raspberry Tootsie-pop, a cream soda Dum-Dum and a couple of other basic cherry-flavored pops. I always carry

To me, sugar cookies not only taste good, but they are the most versatile of cookies. I make cut out frosted sugar cookies for almost every holiday and a lot of special occasion–from bridal showers to the Super Bowl! The cookies can be cut in just about any shape and frosted to match any color

It’s World Chocolate Day! A perfect day to talk about the chocolate I sampled this past week in Paris and Barcelona. I bought a box of fancy chocolates from a shop at the Louvre and enjoyed them with champagne on the lawn of the Eiffel Tower and must have stepped into five or six different

It’s lily season! The first roses have finished their cycle, and the hydrangeas are just beginning to bud, but the lilies are in their glory days! The orange daylilies are pretty ordinary, but planted in a mass, they make a colorful statement. And I love that they give some color up off the ground. Flowers
