Author Notes

Eating high tea makes me feel really posh even if I am still in my PJs at four in the afternoon. This is one of my favorites high tea treats made from things that I typically have on hand so that I don’t have to get out of said PJs to go to the store. —cheese1227

I am an excellent eater (I have been all my life). I’m a pretty good cook (Ask my kids!). And my passable writing improves with alcohol (whether it's the writer or the reader that needs to drink varies by sentence.). I just published my first cookbook, Green Plate Special, which focuses on delicious recipes that help every day cooks eat more sustainably.
