More...Red, Bite and Blue!
Like most holidays, the 4th of July is spent with friends or family and usually that means everyone wakes up with empty bellies and by noon they are already full! Enlist to bring an appetizer because I have three ideas that are sure to sit well with the enemy (and by enemy, I mean the […]

More...3 New Sandwiches to Shake Up Your Summer Lunches
By now, summer is probably in full swing for everyone! For most that entails working long hours, cramming in a social life whenever there is time to spare and a whole lot of brown bagged lunches. If my fellow peers are anything like me, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich just doesn’t sound appealing anymore! […]
More...Here comes goodbye
Hello friends! I am filled with an abundance of emotions as you’ll be able to see in my first blog. I have now moved out of Stevens Point, back home to Hatley, and have a week before I leave for my internship with The Route City Wealth Club in London, England. I hope that this internship […]
