[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…
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…
Last week, I told y’all about how I was partnering up with Bush’s Beans to host a grillin’ cookout with my friends to celebrate good food, good friends and family. Last week, I was buying barbecue shaped invitations and red white and blue decorations in anticipation of this cookout. This week, our family was shattered…
Freshly washed blueberries Freshly washed crisp, juicy blueberries ready and waiting to be popped into my mouth, tossed in a smoothie, placed onto a salad or dropped into or on top of fluffy hot pancakes. I really dont’ think that you can go wrong with one of a big bowl of fresh blueberries next to…
[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…
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]So there’s this little item out there that you may have heard about Yes, that little item — the iPad. I am fully okay with admitting that I really really really want one. I saw Lori, A Cowboy’s Wife, playing with hers while we were on a trip this past summer, and I have to…
contest closed Can you tell from the title that this is going to be a post about Pyrex? I have a very serious relationship with my Pyrex. Honestly y’all, my Pyrex dishes are one of my favorite (and most used) wedding gifts. It’s not that I don’t love the gold rimmed crystal goblets and gold…
This is the grilled steak and grilled asparagus that I made for Sarah and her husband when they came over last weekend. It was crazy good. CRAZY good, do you hear me? Tonguegasmic even. However, that might be one of the worst food pics that I’ve ever taken so I’m thinking I need to make…
Oregano, basil, dill and green onions combine to make a delicious and refreshing mayonnaise that will change the way you look at sandwiches forever. I know that I totally missed Mouthwatering Monday last week, sorry y’all 😉 We didn’t come back from our camping trip until late on Monday and then I didn’t even turn…
I have a secret to tell y’all. Come on, lean in close… closer… closer… I love grocery shopping There, I said it! Not the stressed out, rush shopping done after school with exhausted kids kind of grocery shopping; I’m talking about the kind of grocery shopping that involves a good list, quiet time, able to…
[donotprint] Crispy Skin, insanely juicy insides, bursting with juice and flavor, a hint of spice from the mustard, a subtle bit of savory heat from the cumin and a whole ton of juicy deliciousness from the combination of ingredients; this chicken is easily the most amazing roast chicken that I’ve ever eaten, much less made….
