Welcome to Pebbles + Pomegranate Seeds! Pebbles + Pomegranate Seeds is my food, travel and lifestyle blog. As a published author, restaurant reviewer, photographer and prolific blogger, Pebbles + Pomegranate Seeds is where I share what I have been up to. I hope you enjoy my stories of fabulous foodie finds, travel destinations, great walks, relaxing stops, farm visit, recipes and sometime just a bit of totally unrelated whimsy.
Thank you for visiting!
