Most of the time, I, myself crave for something different, a new taste of food. Gladly that I was invited for an event and take note it's a food tasting event.&Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04557722308339074220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8202771757272559245.post-59277613234402127452013-01-22T05:41:00.000-08:002013-01-23T09:17:13.603-08:00Fab FindsIn an age when there are a million online shops and flash sale sites, I love that Fab is a fabulous destination for one stop shopping.

It can happen. Yes, you can make your own salsa from scratch, but this recipe involves using a jar of Organic Salsa. That is the quick part.
