| Auschwitz Lullaby |
Auschwitz Lullaby by Mario Escobar
Based on a true story, Auschwitz Lullaby brings to life the story of Helene Hannemann—a woman who sacrificed everything for family and fought furiously for the children she hoped to save.
The Recipe Box by Viola Shipman
Growing up in northern Michigan, Samantha “Sam” Mullins felt trapped on her family’s orchard and pie shop, so she left with dreams of making her own mark in the world. But life as an overworked, undervalued sous chef at a reality star’s New York bakery is not what Sam dreamed.
When the chef embarrasses Sam, she quits and returns home. Unemployed, single, and defeated, she spends a summer working on her family’s orchard cooking and baking alongside the women in her life—including her mother, Deana, and grandmother, Willo. One beloved, flour-flecked, ink-smeared recipe at a time, Sam begins to learn about and understand the women in her life, her family’s history, and her passion for food through their treasured recipe box.
As Sam discovers what matters most she opens her heart to a man she left behind, but who now might be the key to her happiness.

| Door Puzzle |
They say puzzles are the ultimate in self-care. I personally enjoy jigsaw puzzles and often have one on the table during the winter. It is a relaxing way to spend a few minutes or a few hours.
Beautiful plates to add to your Spring table.
Please share your favorite movies, podcasts, articles, recipes and anything else that you found that you think we might enjoy as well. Thank you for sharing your finds I always enjoy them.
I hope that you have a great weekend.
