A short little while ago I blogged a Frittata recipe that was sent to me by Easy Food Magazine, who wanted me to road test the recipe for their upcoming issue. I am happy to report that http://www.afternoondlite.com is featured in this months Magazine as part of their “Taste Test Team”. I must say, when […]
Pork chops? I know what you are thinking… (meh!?) but Pork chops with apples and cider will totally change your mind forever!
On Saturday night I had a date with the girls to go out to dinner to celebrate a friends Birthday ! In anticipation of the arrival of said Birthday girl I decided to say “Happy Birthday” by way of gorgeous girly cupcakes! Yes, I do agree they look a little wonky, a little slap […]
