Labor Day weekend has arrived! To me, Labor Day means two things… It’s time for a picnic (one of the few redeeming qualities of summer… yay!) and fall is right around the corner (double yay!). So, for summer last hurrah, I thought I’d feature some fun picnic-friendly dishes in this week’s Friday Favorites. Enjoy the summer…
Sometimes you just need to bake a pie. That’s what I tweeted last week when I was baking this peach pie. And, yes, I am going from talking about juicing and eating raw veggies (see this post about gazpacho if you’re not sure what I’m talking about) to talking about the therapeutic value of baking…
