I recently returned from a fabulous four-day stay in the desert. Cool breeze, sun shinning and gorgeous palm trees all around, there really is nothing like the beauty of Palm Springs. Before my visit a friend told me to be sure to stop for the famed desert date shake. As a native Angeleno I was [...]

National Pie Day may have come and gone, but let’s be real. I don’t need a national food holiday to find a reason to eat pie. In fact I find myself celebrating National Pie Day at least once a week if I can: a slice of banana cream pie from Clementine, a cherry hand pie from [...]
