Honey, Child let me tell ya….
My favorite recipe is Chess Squares from my Yankee Granny. I can say that now that she is in heaven and can’t fuss at me for calling her a yankee or giving away her secret. This cake tastes like it took hours to make. It is so rich and yummy. Let me know if you…

The Map of Enough
This book wonderfully written is an interesting look at one woman’s struggle to find her place in history. It makes you think about why we attribute so much to where we were raised and where we are from when establishing ourselves as adults. Molly and her soon to be husband Chris move to Montana on…
