Happy Monday, y’all. I can’t believe it’s Monday again! The past weeks since coming home from BlogHer Food in Austin have been crazy! After the MacBook Hard Drive Crash of Death I was left without a computer for about 5 days, which y’all know is an eternity. Thank goodness for my sweet Nathan. He understood…
My goodness but this week has been a doozy. Getting back into the groove after BlogHer Food, and then having my hard drive crash and losing 3 months of photos, post ideas, recipes and memories. This past week has certainly drained me, but y’all have inspired me with your recipes, your love, and your optimism….
Oh y’all – there’s just something about this house and this kitchen that inspires me, makes me want to create and have fun. Have you ever made a decision that scared the living daylights out of you? Something life changing and monumental? We just did that. In 3 weeks we decided to move, found a…
Happy Birthday, my love. Nathan – January 27, 1976 Today, January 27th, is one of my favorite days of the year; it’s the day we celebrate you. You are the man who captured my heart and healed it. Thank you. Without you, I would not be who I am, where I am. Every one…

Fourth of July is just around the corner and because I love y’all, and I needed a place for all my Fourth of July Menu Ideas… I give y’all… In the ‘Good ol’ US of A’ the 4th of July is a day for beverages, barbecues, fireworks and celebration. Here’s a bit of…
Summer is here. BBQ season is on. One of my favorite things about summer is impromptu parties and get togethers. Like tonight, my friend Kellie invited us over and then delighted us with a yummy avocado pico paired with ice cold beer, fresh squeezed lime and good music – really, could you ask for…
I have discovered something amazing. UH-MAY-ZING! Lemon Zested Sugar. If y’all knew about this and didn’t share this with me… I think our relationship might be somewhat fractured :-). When Tina announced that April’s Crazy Cooking Challenge was Blueberry Muffins, I knew that I wanted something different, something more, something tonguegasmic. Maria is one…

That’s right – Dark Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookies Nathan and I aren’t really sweets people, please try to contain your shock 🙂 We would much rather eat something savory or spicy (as I’m sure y’all have noticed, given the recipes that I post here). There is however, one sweet combo that…
