Sunsets-Its as if the colors and intensity of the light is just enough to calm you. The sun is like a great big romantic, inspirational fire in the sky. It would be as if a powerful symphony was quieting down, becoming more emotional and beautiful as it dies down. Its rays seem friendly. They remind me of an old friend, waving good bye to you, you know they are leaving but you are filled with the confidence that you will see them again. The Sunset is like a great joy and relaxation after a long day and its colors will give you the warmth to comfort you to exhale in a calmly mood to recover...

It's that magical time of year again. When the world stops spinning for a moment and we breathe a collective sigh as peace reins on Earth and there is good will towards men. They say a dog is a man's best friend, and I totally agree, but I also think that cats, pigs, horses, birds and even snakes can be added to that best friends list. If you are an animal lover like me, you will see the beauty in every animal. As the Holiday Season nears I wanted to take the time to honor the furry angels in our lives for I do not think they get enough credit, after all they have to put up with the biggest...

I wanted to write a book that could be enjoyed throughout the year not just at Christmas time. This book idea was born in the middle of a hot summer's day in Florida. I was watching the news when I heard about another Terrorist attack in my own back yard. Not only was I shocked and saddened by this latest attack on the Pulse Nightclub, but it made me want to reach out and hug the World. This book is my lame attempt to do just that. I am in love with human kind. Deeply in love. It hurts me that my fellow man has to act like animals sometimes. I want this book to remind every single one of you...

Ah, Long Island. The beaches, the concerts at Jones Beach, Mister Softee ice cream truck, the smell of freshly cut grass and kids cooling off on slip and slides There is nothing better than Long Island in the summer. Hi, my name is Patti Chiappa. I am a Long Islander now living in Florida. Growing up on Long Island, gave me a bit of advantage.

And not only learn how to cook some of these tasty dishes but I also was able to meet...
