Crostini with Peaches, Blue Cheese and Honey (& a Giveaway!)
These. It would be ridiculous for me to attempt to put into human words just how monumentally delicious these crostini are.

These here mushroom thingies are the new black. The new black, along with lots of bright greens, pops of white and earthy browns. So I guess you can erase what I just said. But not really because I wasn’t meaning it literally, even though two sentences ago made it sound like I was. So I [...]
