What’s your favorite ingredient in the summer? For me it’s definitely lemon, or lime, or just generally sour and refreshing. Yesterday I decided that the limes in my fridge were there for too long and that I need to put them into proper use. So I did, I made cookies, and to make them even […]
It’s the end of the school year, and I always like to send something for the teachers. I mean, yeah we may not be 100% happy with how they dealt with things throughout the year but overall we need to keep in mind that these are the people our children spend most of the day […]
