When you reach a certain age, you don’t need more stuff, so for my Mom’s (undisclosed) Birthday, I made her a special Birthday Dinner. She’s a Western Woman and loves Steak and Potatoes, so that’s what we had. Her boyfriend Bob, my sister Elise and Elise’s boyfriend Bill joined us
Le Petit Maison (LPM) is a fancy-pants, white tablecloth, scrape the crumbs off the tablecloth type of place.

So, here are some products I’m loving right now, that are especially perfect for the summertime. #1 Mango Cream Bar From Trader Joe’s, this is the perfect summertime treat that won’t break the calorie (or piggy) bank. They are creamy, fruity and brilliant orange bars, with an outside shell of

My Foodie in Miami website shares personal essays, recipes, restaurant news and reviews, as well as views from my tropical garden.
