It's the Florida Strawberry season!!

You know me I love the simplicity of things! Whether it's picking local grown fruit or veggies or just whipping up a delicious dish with just a few fresh ingredients! We all know I’m a frugal gal! I buy produce when it's in season because you get the best tasting produce and you also get them at the best price! For some reason you appreciate it more so when it's mango time I make my mango salsa! When it's citrus time I make my lemon meringue pie! And it's now our strawberry season I just love it! Try it yourself buy local and in season and create the freshest dishes possible there is nothing better than that and it will leave you feeling kind of spoiled! Nothing wrong with that either mes amis!

Your tools! That's right a cook does not have a tool box but a drawer full of tools!!

My husband is a mechanic by trade initially an aircraft mechanic, then an RV mechanic and now a heavy equipment mechanic and oh boy his tool box sure has change with that being said I have only been one kind of cook can you guest? My favorite three are my lemon juicer, zester and thongs oh yea I use almost all three every day!! It's funny that the styles of cook you are dictates what tools you use the most!! I think by looking in someone's drawer you can tell what kind of cook they are ;) Oh and by the way I need a bigger kitchen I’m growing out of my tool drawer ;)
