For a decadent breakfast, just like my picture! Ingredients 1 8oz package quality or organic cream cheese1 tablespoon mayonnaise1 tablespoon plain whole milk... Continue Reading →
I had to organize my freezer which led me to ask myself, why in the heck did I have so much fruit vacuum sealed at the bottom shelf. Oh yeah, I thought I would make pies. Dozens of pies. Not! So, I dragged it all out, weighed it to keep track, and cooked down 15... Continue Reading →
Let’s face it, we all will have and had Thanksgiving leftovers. And being true to myself, I had too much stuffing after the weekend. Next best thing? Panzanella salad!

I was in the mood to make a healthy treat for our team before I left town last week for a real estate conference. After finding a few recipes and changing the ingredients to make it Laurie style, I made this recipe up and sharing with you! Ingredients 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted, cut in... Continue Reading →
