I love Czech bread dumplings and I crave a pork roast served with them and lots of delicious gravy. I buy my Czech bread dumplings frozen from a company called Chateau Dumplings. They sell their dumplings in a lot of grocery stores and online. You can find more information about where they are sold and how to order by Clicking Here.

Continue ReadingI used to be an occasional wine drinker for no other reason than the fact that it was there. I was mostly a beer and mixed drink type of person. This was because I knew NOTHING about wine other than I thought I liked only white, cold, crisp wine. My old routine was, have a taste for wine, go to the store, look for the Sauvignon Blanc section and (GASP) buy the one with the best looking label that also met my varying price point requirements for that week’s budget.
