Thanksgiving often comes and goes and we discard leftovers because we eat them for a day or two and become bored with the standard left over creations.

If you answer any (let alone all) of the following questions with a yes, you are definitely in the right place and you have to check our new “Foodies Blog”.

1. Do you “LOVE” to eat?
2. Do you constantly recommend restaurants to others?
3. Do you have to try new places & cuisines?

5. And, do you race to be the first one in the door at a new restaurant?

So, it’s the summer wrap-up, time for our last summer hurrah, it’s Labor Day! I’ve been advising many of my clients to make the entire Labor Day feast ahead. I thought I would share some of my recipes with you…and hopefully you can spend your Labor Day, relaxing and kicking back instead of rushing to get the table ready.
