I would like to thank Kitty for sharing a favorite family recipe and Broadway Basketeers for gifting me this dried fruit and nut tray. My honest opinion is, it's a thoughtful gift, and a very tasty one too:@)
So why not pour a cuppa and stop by their site to see the great variety of items offered, everything from gift towers to fresh fruit to wine!
Eat well, gift generously,
and have a happy day:@)
