There is a restaurant in Oakland that makes a dreamy panna cotta and even before ordering our entrees I check out the dessert menu. If panna cotta is on it, then I know I need to save room for dessert. My friend Paula recently made Whiskey Panna Cotta. I told her it was my love …
I know I said I would keep food and Beautycounter separate but I changed my mind. Clean living is part of cleaning eating and I strongly believe in both.
