Parmesan on whole wheat bread

Spread butter (I use soy butter) on heavy whole wheat bread (this should be high quality, dense, stiff bread.) Take grated parmesan cheese and spread it on top.

Croissants with butter, sour cream and cinnamon

Here’s another of my favorite snacks: croissants with butter, sour cream and cinnamon. The preparation is quite simple. Slice the croissant in half, spread butter inside, sour cream on top of the croissant, then sprinkle cinnamon. I prefer to use organic ingredients. Enjoy!

There’s something in the air here in the States

I’ve been meaning to post an entry about this for some time. There has got to be something in the air or in the environment here in the States that’s causing people to have problems with their breathing, and flaring up their allergies. Case in point, Ligia and myself. Let me explain.
Ligia came to the [...]
