Working at the Energy House, talking about and eating good food is a must. There have been many sharing of ideas, recipes, and bringing food to share among us at work. I guess you could say it is apart of the company culture, especially with the business owner being a culinary enthusiast. For those staying at home this Valentine’s Day we suggest enjoying an intimate homemade dinner for two in front of the fireplace.
