Julianne Marie is my just-over-one-year-old Goddaughter and namesake. She is perfectly perfect.
Julianne?was born just shy of?nine months after her father, Bryan, (a?fellow copywriter at Fire Mountain Gems), lovingly prepared?and served the following recipe for?his beautiful?wife, Chelsea, on their wedding anniversary.?
This may very well be a recipe for Love; but it is also, most?certainly, a recipe to love. Delicioso!
