They’re one of my favorite fruits; plump, crisp, sweet and delicious. I eat them by the handful, on top of my granola, in my yogurt, in muffins and…
Go outside, be with your friends and family. Celebrate. Hug the ones you’re with, call the ones you’re not and remember the ones no longer with us. Happy 4th of July to my fellow Americans. Sorry there’s no recipe for the fourth of July, to my non-American friends <3
It’s a Holiday weekend for those of us in the states and usually that means friends, family, parties, get togethers and FOOD! Lots and lots of food! In case you need a little inspiration, I thought that I’d share a few of my favorites: Breakfast Cheesy Ham and Hashbrown Bake Individual Monkey Breads Sausage and…
Let me say this now, this is more a method than a recipe 🙂 and some of y’all aren’t going to like these because they have food coloring in them. You could always use different flavors of pudding or jello and they’d be adorable, but when the kids and I set out to make these…
See that scrumptious looking burger up there? I need to tell you a secret about it, it’s not a burger. It’s a Johnsonville Bratwurst Patty Seriously. Now, here’s where I tell y’all.. I’m that person at a bbq who has both a brat and a burger on her plate because I can’t ever decide which…

Every new parent deserves the joy and luxury of having friends and family provide meals, while oohing and aahing over their new…

Monday keeps sneaking up on me. It would be easy to blame it on the sunshine or diving boards or pinterest Yep. For today, we’re blaming it on Pinterest. Because, I pinned this Strawberry, Coconut and Honey Freeze from SmithBites and I simply. cannot. get it OUT OF MY BRAIN….
I love having friends over. I love feeding my friends and I get a special thrill when I see them devouring and loving the food that I’ve prepared. So, Friday night we had friends over for a BBQ. We grilled some wicked pork chops We flame broiled grilled up some amazing chicken quarters I…
[donotprint]So, y’all know that I’m hosting a Grillin’ Beans BBQ at my house on Friday. I went to the store today and bought thick delicious juicy looking pork chops, drumsticks (for the kids) and Texas size chicken quarters to serve as the main dishes; I got corn on the cob to grill and turn into…
[donotprint] This drink reminds me of a summer breeze, you know the kind of breeze that comes dancing off the ocean tossing salt, sand and hair. It also reminds me of the song, you’re quite welcome for the shared ear worm 😉 That song was my Mother in Law’s favorite song and she used to…
The first meal that I remember with Nathan’s family was beans and fried cornbread. I remember teasing Danny by telling him he was just testing me to see if I was the woman for his son. Was I woman enough to withstand a kitchen full of hot grease and smoke – and secure enough…
