“You’re Like Bacon, You Make Everything Better.” – a sign in the French Quarter There are so many things that have brought me great joy this week, probably the best thing that happened this week is that I got to fly to New Orleans and spend the weekend with my wonderful friend, Laura. We’ve…
Welcome back, y’all! It’s the first Mouthwatering Monday of 2014!!! Can y’all believe that it’s 2014 already? It’s been a hot minute since we’ve had Mouthwatering Mondays, and I blame the holidays.. and the flu… and the holidays. Although I must tell y’all – taking a break is lovely. Thanks to all of y’all who’ve…

The weather is finally cooling off down here in Texas, Princess’ birthday has passed (TEN! She is TEN! – How did that happen?) which means it’s time to start planning for Thanksgiving!! …
I don’t know about y’all, but we’re in the last days of summer ’round here. We’ve just gotten back from an absolutely wonderful weekend in Galveston with Carnival and the Galveston CVB {hey FTC – they paid for our accommodations and gave us passes to city attractions} I have a whole post coming with tons…
Even reading the title that I myself wrote, I find myself saying ‘Wis-kaaaaahn-sin’ in my head I really have the neatest job. I get to explore my passion, I get to create recipes and partner with companies I admire and whose products I have in my fridge and pantry, and I get to meet people…

Thanks to Minute Maid® Pure Squeezed for sponsoring this post. Click here to see more of the discussion. I have a confession to make. Lean in a little closer and let me whisper it to you.

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….
Berry season and summertime just go hand in hand, don’t they. I have so many memories of bare feet, summer days, and dewberry stained fingers and mouths. There were some dewberry bushes out behind one of our houses growing up and my brother Michael and I would spend hours picking dewberries and eating them straight…
I have so many memories from my childhood of walking into our house after school and having all senses go on alert because of the tantalizing smells emanating from the slow cooker on the kitchen counter. Rich, savory, mouth-watering smells that indicated that a tender, fall-a-part, delicious, flavor-packed meal was in the very near future….
I’m here to make a confession. Get settled in comfy, y’all. It’s about to get fishy. I was probably 18 the first time that I can remember eating fish voluntarily, and liking it. It wasn’t even a big deal fish, it was a starter fish like mahi-mahi or tilapia, and I’m fairly sure I dipped…
