Spring Is Coming Soon!

Hello MARCH! Another month, another day that brings me (us) closer to the breezy Spring days. Are you ready to immerse yourself for some fresh blooms and Spring air (or maybe some fresh locally grown vegetables from your local farmer's market)?

Des Moines is a small city; no year-long weekly farmer's market like NYC does...and hence, I am VERY looking forward for Spring/Summer to come sooner and enjoy the outdoor activities! But for now, I am satisfied with this little Spring Garden Cake from Martha Stewart ^.*

Coming up next (within this week) we are going to have a Farm-inspired style board ready for you. Stay tune =)
