HOMEMADE SOUR CREAM – Creme Fraiche (Updated) August 1, 2017 Sandi Comments 0 Comment I was looking at my 2011 post on Homemade Sour Cream and realized that I haven’t posted about any of the tips and tricks I’ve learned for making it better. So, here we are. The updated version… Sour cream is very easy to make […]
Fresh cut flowers brighten up the room, but they are expensive and then they wilt and die. Fresh herbs, on the other hand, are both useful and beautiful. Storing fresh herbs used to be a challenge for me. They don’t do so great in the fridge. They get slimy. Or I forget I have them […]

It feels decadent, fulfilling, and […]
