Making up for lost time...

Ok y'all... A LOT has been going on here in New England and if you watch the news or are connected to any form of social media, you're well aware of all events that have taken place in the last several months. It has been a lot to keep up with, watch out for and sadly, by blog has fallen by the wayside. But have no fear, summer is here and the test kitchen is back in full force. I promise I will be posting LOTS of recipes that we've tested and determined to be tried and true. Starting with tonight!!!
