Recoverywell.org

Every once and a while I like to take a break from the food, recipe and travel posts that I normally blog about. Recently I was contacted by Recoverywell.org out of Wilmington, Delaware. They asked me to share their inspiring message of recovery on my blog. I am a big advocate of recovery programs. These programs save countless lives every day. I am a big advocate!

Jädelino is a quaint, friendly gelateria that serves top quality, homemade Italian ice cream in the the Teurastamo district of Helsinki. The flavors at Jädelino are very creative.
