Simple Tips to Help you Produce an Amazing Sandwich Platter …

  This week we celebrated Christmas at work with a staff lunch in the office.  We had already attended the “official” work Christmas Party but the lunch is a more casual tradition with everyone in the office asked to bring a plate of food to share and celebrate.  We ended up with a fantastic variety of food and enjoyed a delicious lunch with great company.     One of my “go to” offerings when I’m asked to “bring a plate” is a sandwich platter.  Rarely does anyone ever double up with the same thing and I always find it’s enjoyed and appreciated.  … read more

Halloween Bag Toppers (Part 1) … Free to Download …

  Well, it’s that time of the year again! The time when little “ghosts”, “goblins”, “witches” and other scary little monsters take to the streets shrieking and squealing “TRICK OR TREAT”!
