Italian-Vibe Vegetable Soup (The Happy Maker)
Hi all! Happy Sunday. I’m currently chilling in my Nairobi hotel room, which in and of itself is a trip to write out.

Crepes with Maple Glazed Apples
Crepes!! PANCAKE DAY!!! Whether you call it Shrove Tuesday, Pancake Day, Fat Tuesday, or something I’ve never heard of, the beautiful fact is this: any chance that you have to overindulge in maple syrup smothered, sugary, doughy goodness is the best kind of day.

Smoked Rosemary Garlic Beef Roast
Have you guys ever experienced something so awesome, so completely different than anything you’ve ever run into before, that it makes you rethink almost everything?
