Flatbread is everywhere these days. Every. Where. Go to any restaurant and you are likely to see it pop up as an appetizer, possibly even the main course. It’s good stuff. It’s also very easy. So adaptable. So family friendly. If the kids just want cheese, you can give them cheese. If you want something […]
As you may know, I work for a sugar company behind the scenes. The best sugar company, in my opinion – Dixie Crystals. Being from the South, I try to support the South, and Dixie Crystals is right there. Plus, they are so good to me. Who wouldn’t love that kind of setup? Every month […]
You know, I did not invent this dish myself. Let’s just put that out there – I am not the genius behind this. And heck, truth be told, I didn’t bother to Google – it could be that every blogger and their brother have posted a Fluffy Egg recipe. very other restaurant in the country […]
Yes, friends…I am posting yet another salad. On MY blog. This time, a Grilled Chicken and Strawberry Bacon Salad. I had to, you see. My life is changing. You may not be aware of this, but towards the end of the summer, I went on a diet. Oh lord…the dreaded D word. But you see, […]
It’s still kind of summer, you know. In fact, it almost feels more summery now than it did in August…we had a chilly spell for a few weeks here. There were several days we wondered if it was too cold to go to the creek or pool – and it totally was. Weird. But, now […]
A Roasted Beet Salad? Really? I don’t know why it took me so long, but it did. I went 39 34 years without tasting beets. True story. I had no idea they were so sweet and delicious. So earthy and soft once roasted. I attributed them to the scary pink jars of pickled paraphernalia, and […]
If you know me at all, you know I am a traveler. At the drop of a hat, I’ll pack up my things and go, whether by plane, by train, by boat, or by car. Speaking of cars, you may recall that earlier in the summer, my little family and I hit the highway for […]
Today we are getting in the kitchen and making Arancini. Pizza Arancini, to be more precise, and we will making it … with our kids. Don’t worry, they’ll love it. Trust me, I know. It has the word PIZZA right in it. .I started blogging when Seven was about 9 months old. The truth is, […]
Good morning! Guess what today is? My first EMPTY HOUSE day in MONTHS! That’s right, y’all…Seven is back to school, and Jon is back at work (he took yesterday off so that we could take Seven to second grade together)…and now the house is officially MINE again! I survived! Thank the good sweet Lord. It […]
As if I needed an excuse to make a cake…Bahlsen Waffeletten gave me one more. That’s right, Bahlsen Waffeletten, the European cookie company, is celebrating their 125th birthday with a birthday cake recipe contest! I, along with about 15 other bloggers will participate – and the winner will receive a 3-day workshop of our choice […]
Little things make me happy. But this? This is a big thing. I have been asked by Krusteaz to be an ambassador for their brand over the next year. That’s huge, right? As a fan of their baking mixes (seriously, the Lemon Bars and the Wild Blueberry Muffin mix are to die for) I was […]
School is about to start. I keep reminding myself this, as if I can’t actually believe it. But – in just a few days, I’ll have an empty house during the day. Time to plan out meals (ha!) shop in peace (as if, I shop online, I’m not kidding anyone) and head to the grocery […]
