Tea Tastings in Las Vegas!

Fresh and Easy & Salmon Sliders

I think Fresh and Easy is my new favorite store.   I didn’t want to drive too far (more than 15 minutes) to Trader Joe’s since we’re in this crazy awful Las Vegas heat.  So Fresh and Easy was the store of choice for my grocery shopping for “lunch”. Yes, we call 6 pm lunch in [...]
