Summer vacation is over and we have not gone out to eat in a while. We did not go far, just around the corner to visit Aromas Del Perú where the food is always good and wonderful. After doing all the shopping for the first day of school, cooking was not an option. We brought our […]
Read MoreFresh Market is not exactly an economical place to visit. I got a gift card for Mother’s Day and it was time to indulge. A quick trip for veggies and flowers was enough to put a massive grin on my face.
