I love potatoes on pizza. Before Jon and I were married (in fact, waaaay before we were married), we took our first trip as a couple to Washington DC. We stayed on P Street, in a fabulous hotel, and next door was a brick oven pizza place, offering potatoes on their pies. I’ve been crazy […]
I am a new buttermilk lover. In the past, it wasn’t something I liked having on hand – but now I find myself keeping it around for a variety of goodies. it is especially great in these chicken and dumplings. This time of year makes me really crave thick, hearty foods. But I like it […]
You may recall I threw a party at BlogHer Food Atlanta. We called it the RockHer party, and it was an amazing success, held at the Hard Rock Café. Over 200 Food Bloggers, writers, sponsors and all out FUN people came. While there, I made friends with some Hard Rock higher ups, who encouraged me […]
Sometimes after a long day you really don’t want to cook. As in really don’t want to cook. As in, don’t even want to see a pot. I get that. Sometimes I don’t want to cook, and then I don’t want to order anything, either. I feel like a failure every time I succumb to […]
Pumpkin cake is good. I mean, it’s really good. Really, really good. For as long as I can remember, my mom has always hosted Thanksgiving at our house, for the entire family. I don’t have a small family. My mom is one of seven kids, and there have been times when every single sibling showed […]

Don’t shoot me…I am not a huge Candy Corn person. I LOVE the autumnal look of it, I love the photos. Basically, I love the idea of it. I just don’t love to EAT it. But for many, fall simply revolves around the tri-colored confection, so I thought I’d get over myself and offer you […]
Brandi came up earlier this week and we had a little candyfest. We did. There was caramel and pumpkin and chocolate as far as the eye could see. We made bark, we made cake, we made truffles. Like I said, candyfest. Candyfest should be a word, though my spell checker is having a fit with […]
Last weekend I made the trek to Nashville for Food Blog Forum. Luckily, I got to carpool with Brandi, who never asked me once to drive, and even let me keep the two winning French fry game cards from our McDonalds breakfast. Isn’t she sweet? Yeah, she is. After a 6 hour drive and the […]
I want to be super mom. You know, that mom who shows up to school events with the cutest crafts, the fanciest cupcakes, the most sleek hair and skinny jeans. Okay, most of that’s not going to happen. I MAY win the cupcake contest though. Hair and skinny jeans? Not a chance. I’m lucky to […]
Chocolate Dipped Caramel Apples. When I was just about Seven’s age, I had my first caramel apple. I still remember the cookie sheet they were on, half of the apples wrapped in oozy brown caramel, the others in a crisp, red candy shell. My aunt had made them, probably around this same time of year, […]
My friend Brandi has a wonderful garden. I’m not sure who maintains it – be it elves, gnomes, obsessive compulsive hobos – I have no idea. But it is pristine, weed-free and full of produce…and there is no way two working adults can maintain a garden in this fashion. She also has a couple of […]
