A Few of my Favorite Things
Read it.
When not working, you can find me at a local coffee shop with my nose stuck in a book; specifically, anything historical fiction. I highly recommend The Paris Hours by Alex George, and The Women by Kristin Hannah!
Cook it.
Hey, who doesn’t like to eat! Want to impress any company? Or just want to indulge on a meal that will give you leftovers for a week? You’ve got to try this Pernil recipe from America’s Test Kitchen.
Watch it.
Some of my favorite movies include anything by Nora Ephron or John Hughes. Trust me, I’ve tried reenacting Julie & Julia in my own kitchen, and well, I recommend letting the actors do their thing…
