One of my favorite things about the Fall- other than Halloween, pumpkin patches, apple picking and long drives to check out the foliage in and around the Northeast, of course- is the return of football. I love the excitement of the games and occasionally getting a little competitive with my friends and any playful betting […]
I love a good charcuterie- especially when there’s a healthy variety of meats, cheeses and (sometimes) fruits to pick from and not too much of one thing or not enough of another thing.
