I love my crockpot. My childhood memories are filled with the scents of pot roasts and onions and crockpot cooking welcoming me home from school in the afternoon. Savory soft carrots and potatoes infused with the flavors of garlic and pepper and slow simmered in a true roast gravy with onions. {drool} As an adult,…
[donotprint]I can’t believe it’s Monday already, y’all!! I had a recipe all ready in my head while I was in New Orleans at the Mom 2.0 Summit, but, I didn’t calculate my time correctly and by the time I got home last night, it was 11 PM. The only thing going through my head was…

[donotprint]Rich, Moist, Dense, Vanilla-y and Coconut-y and just downright tonguegasmic — that’s what these cupcakes are. I’ve been playing around with coconut and vanilla cupcake for a while now, trying to find that perfect harmonious blend and I’m pretty sure that I have finally found it! I adapted this recipe slightly from one that…
Lent has begun and I’ve had a few (read several) requests for quick and easy seafood dishes. I haven’t had time to cook up anything new and photograph it — however, I have several delicious recipes ready to share with y’all today. For snack time — Delicious Crab Stuffed Mushrooms (wow, that’s an old picture…..
There are many things that *I* believe will help make a good food blog better. I’m not an expert — I’m just Rachel, just a Southern Girl tap tap tappin’ away on her Mac takin’ pictures of her food and writin’ out her recipes to share with those she loves at home and out…
Hey y’all. I’m back from the land of the horribly ill. Being that I was so sick last week, I haven’t made a meal in my house in a week. Tonight will be the first night that I’ll have prepared a meal in more than a week. Since I don’t have a recipe today, I…
I, like many others, have a bit of an addiction to a little game you might have heard of –Angry Birds. My husband, kids and myself play it with joy all the while cursing those damnable little piggies and their crooked smirks. Imagine my surprise, delight and utter awe when I clicked on the darling…
It has been about an hour since I made this salad and paired it with a perfectly cooked, thinly sliced 4 oz steak and I still have a pleasantly tangy peppery flavor in my mouth. I’ve been playing around with a spicy mustard garlic vinaigrette for a few months because I adore the flavors, the…
[donotprint] Occasionally, I make something and I can’t stop eating it. To the point that I’m torn between eating it and patting myself on the back. This guacamole is one of those recipes. I have a guacamole recipe, one that I love, one that has never disappointed me. HOWEVER — after having Guacamole at Solario…
