Strawberries are a big deal here in central Florida. During January, February and most of March you can find them everywhere. In fact, the Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City started yesterday!

Drink Me : Instant Chai
A while ago I Pinned to one of my Boards, a link for an ‘Instant Vanilla Chai’. Even though the recipe was mostly non-dairy creamers, I thought it was a great idea, and that my sister – a Chai lover – would need this for a gift. Notice I didn’t say ‘Christmas Gift’, because this […] Read more…
