Berries, Berries, Everywhere!

Everywhere we look we see lots and lots of delicious, colorful, and plump summer berries – in markets, in fields, and on menus. Here at the Workshop, we never pass up an opportunity to go berry picking. However, we tend to get a little overexcited and often end up collecting too many berries than we know what […]

Dad Will Drool Over Beer-Simmered Grilled Brats

We at the Workshop cannot resist visiting roadside stands when we are driving or walking through the neighborhood. They […]

Whether you choose to bake cupcakes or a cake this Father’s Day (why not both?!), here are some decorating ideas that will suit all our dads out there:

For a Very Festive Father’s Day

We admit that during our busy, mile-a-minute lives, we don’t always take the time to thank our husbands and dads for all that they do. That’s why we’re excited for Father’s Day just around the corner. This year, to show Dad how much he means to us, we’ve collected a bunch of fun and creative […]

Add a Little Wonder to Your Water

When you’re thirsty and on the go it’s tempting to grab a can of soda, or other bottled-sugary beverage, because it’s quick, easy, and you know it will taste delicious.  At the Workshop we’ve vowed to kick our soda habits, and now that summer has arrived we’re especially on the look-out for creative ways to […]
