Life In Pleasantville
Food, Travel, Life
If you had asked me at the beginning of this pandemic what the most popular food in my house was going to be I would have said potato chips. So nobody, I seriously mean NOBODY was more surprised than me to have Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts be the the clear winner. But when you repeatedly …
If the entire country of Italy in quarantine has not made you aware that we might face the same thing here, then you’re not paying attention.
