"You don't have to be a four-star chef to eat like a gourmet"

Hi All! Spreading the good word today and asking a favor today for all my friends out there who are 40+ and fabulous (or interested in feeling like it?) We're just launching a brand new free newsletter with tips, stories, advice and much much more... all things on embracing our age. Please come on over to our page by visiting here and selecting the Third Age Newsletter at the top to subscribe I promise it doesn't even take a minute and will be worth checking out!

Sweetest thanks! Speaking of sweets....

Did you know there are more dessert choices than carrot cake for your Easter table? Although I do love that stuff and it's sweet cream cheesey frosting it is literally the perfect time for a homemade cheesecake recipe. This WHITE CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE is simply supreme. The white chocolate also makes for a smoother texture and garnished like a pro... no one will even believe it didn't come straight from the bakery!

Oh what to do about wine selection? Let me help you out, just scroll down to Marzee's Corner for some great tips...

Enjoy!
