My Lolo and Lola’s altar in their chapel with the beautiful Lady of Guadalupe- My Lolo told me that his grandmother was named after the Lady of Guadalupe and when the church there burned down – they asked for donation to rebuild the church and in exchange they gave her the crown and jewelry that is now on the Lady.  Our family holds many Eucharistic celebrations in this chapel

Bread Baskets

By | Best of, Foodie | One Comment

I recently started putting together photos of bread baskets!  You have probably seen them in the recent features on the restaurants, but I put them together here.  Heart2Heart loves bread baskets especially when hungry 🙂  It really helps to have a good bread basket while waiting for everyone to order and when waiting for the food to come.
