Hello! Happy Friday! I am taking a few days for a holiday with my sister and brother-in-law, who are visiting from the Midwest. As it is FINALLY cooling off just a bit we are going to hit the beach, and the trails, maybe do a little shopping and a lot of cooking.

I have already made some great things in advance of their arrival, like vanilla bean cupcakes with mocha butter cream frosting, Triple chocolate Oreo bars, and Southern vanilla pound cake.
Lest you think I only consume sugar, I also made Balsamic Onion Beef Roast, Five Cheese Lasagna, and Zucchini Tart. I will share the recipes with you next week.
In the meantime, I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

You are AMAZING! Everything sounds fantastically yummy…
Elizabeth, I am so happy for you that you are spending some time with your sister and BIL…have a wonderful time, dear friend!!
(And tonight we tried the TJ peppermint hot chocolate…outstanding!) Merci mille fois, chere amie…
