F A L L |B2B

September 22, 2017 is the first day of F A L L. If you are just joining us here on B2B then you will soon realize that FALL gives us life. There is something about the color orange, black, deep burgundy, hunter green, brown, red etc that is just soothing and comforting. Maybe its the first sign of the holidays that get's us excited, or the fact that fashion (in our opinion) just gets better and of course our favorite, the holiday decorating. There's already a few pumpkins lyi

RECIPE | Lemon Bars

Happy SUMMER Y'All, I might be from Miami, but ask any of my friends and you will catch me saying "y'all". I may have mentioned this before, but my mother has a southern charm upbringing that has definitely echoed in our household and on the table, lol. You know that my family is a sweets family (we need help) and I finally took the time to learn how to make some southern lemon bars this passed Easter. I can't believe it took me that long to try and how easy it was! So on a h

RECIPE | Vanilla Banana Nut Bread

I HATE wasting food, and when produce, or anything in the pantries are about to go bad I cringe. Trying to find a way to put their last bits to good use, or working a recipe around whatever items need to turned into a dish. It's not the easiest thing to do, but something to try and practice daily to avoid the guilt of throwing away food and throwing away money! Bananas, when they begin to brown can be used for a number of recipes and even for your garden. The easiest I say is

SUMMER MANGO TARTE

If you're a Miami native, then there's only one fruit you're overdosing on this summer, and that's mangoes. If you personally don't have a tree nearby bearing this succulent, sugar-coma-inducing fruit then chances are you know someone who does or you're buying them off of someone with a cardboard sign just up the road. Yep, nothing says summer in Miami like an afternoon spent hinged over your kitchen sink sucking on every fiber of that mango seed, juices dripping down your ar

Homemade For The Holidays

The holidays are all about giving, I think we can all agree with that known fact. But we can also agree that along with the joys of spreading holiday cheer comes the daunting reality of spending money. It can get pretty stressful just thinking about that list growing all throughout the first week of December, and don't even get me started on those last minute gifts we all end up scrambling for just hours before that holiday christmas party. Been there done that....in the mist

Get in the holiday spirit, and by spirit, I mean a crafted spirit of bourbon and gin ( all other spirits are welcome)! So my guy and I, enjoy a great crafted cocktail, and infused liquors. Having the same love for the history and style of 20's era ( underground speakeasies, jazz music, and a well made cocktail). We always find ourselves trying crafted cocktails at local bars, or concocting our own at his self made bar. We decided to kick it up a notch and infuse our own spir

Sylvia's THANKSGIVING Turkey

Coming from a large Cuban family, you can be sure that our Thanksgivings are filled with lots of food and family!! Regardless of who hosts Thanksgiving, my mom always makes “thee” turkey. Growing up, I was always soo fascinated watching her stuff and cook the turkey that I couldn’t wait to learn her recipe. Finally, the day came! One Thanksgiving, a few years back, I joined her in the kitchen from start to finish and took notes on everything she used and how she did things. I
