Ever since our trip to Greece we have been big fans of Greek-style yogurt. And we have always been huge fans of gifts. So when Stonyfield Farms sent us coupons for free yogurt we were super excited.

It is Spring and that means it is asparagus season!! My favorite way to prepare asparagus it to simply drizzle it with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and then roast it under the broiler. We have directions for this on our last post on asparagus. It is really a great dish that is easy to […]

Ga-wow, this is very amazing! I just found out that you can watch all of Season 1 of Made in Spain online. If you remember correctly we are slightly obsessed and own both Season 1 and 2. However, for anyone out there who has yet to watch, give it a try! It is available on […]

Last time I was at Sur La Table I saw this interesting little herb grower. It uses a hydroponics technique to grow herbs quicker. There is a spray bar which mists the roots with water and nutrients. There is a larger version that looks similar to the AeroGarden, however this compact version looks like it […]
