I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about?

Boursin Butter I’m still reeling from my first taste of this Boursin butter on a hot ear of perfect summer corn. Rich, buttery, herby, and cheesy in the best way. If you're like me you're already imagining all the ways you going to use it. Boursin Stuffed Mushrooms ~ the best little appetizer ever. Salmon Mousse...
