Late last Thursday night, we put the kids to bed in the car and drove four hours to the island of Pag, just off the Dalmatian Coast. There was almost no one on the road, and when we finally made it to the southern end to drive across the bridge, I silently slapped Cam in the chest to get his attention (I have a habit of doing that) to look!! It was like something from another world. The full moon outlined the desolate, barren land jutting out into the Adriatic - bright blue even in the ... continue reading...
Easter Week in Croatia and in Our Home!

I like this pizza for this time of year because it's light and fresh, simple and flavorful. It's great with a glass of crisp, white wine. Dobar tek ... continue reading...
