Southwestern Cheese & Summer Squash Soup
I recently learned what the macro button was for on my camera (thanks, Mom!). Many of you are snickering, especially if you have a food blog. The thing is, I started this blog for a few reasons, none of which had anything to do with my amazing photography skills. I love to write and…
