I’m hosting a birthday gathering for a friend at our place in October so I’ve been searching the web for yummy, Fall-themed recipes that would be easy to make. Here are some of my favorites so far. Not all of them fall under the category of “Fall” or “easy”, and they don’t necessarily all go […]

“In life, a person will come and go from many homes. We may leave a house, a town, a room, but that does not mean those places leave us.” -Ari Berk My mom kept several gardens on our 7-acre hobby farm when I was a kid. Our acreage was shaped like a triangle and my […]
My mother-in-law, Katie, hails from Barbour County, Alabama. Her family’s home was situated on a plot of land out in the country, somewhere near Blue Springs. A census in 2010 said the population was 96, but it looks like that number is down to 80-something today. I’d like to get down there and take Steevenson […]
How is it already the middle of July? I read somewhere that tomorrow is National Hot Dog Day. Are you a hot dog person? I still can’t decide if I am or not, but I was reading an article in one of our local papers that made me wonder if I just hadn’t tried the […]
“Food fosters fellowship. When you share a meal, you are sharing a slice of life.” Jay Wolf, Pastor at First Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama Katie, Steevenson and I decided to give Betsy Baker’s strawberry cake recipe a whirl yesterday afternoon. Katie said she hadn’t ever met a Betsy Baker down at First Baptist church, […]
Happy Monday, y’all! I’m joining some friends for a fun blog hop today and I’m so excited to see what the other gals are blogging about today! We all had fun thinking of simple ways to dress up a store-bought food item so that it would look beautiful and homemade. If you’re coming over from […]
Happy Friday, friends! I’m comin’ at you with a reeeeally yummy recipe today. It’s from Hello Fresh, which I’m not a member of, but I’ve been on the fence about joining.

Hi, friends! Since cooler weather is right around the corner (even though it doesn’t feel like it in most places!), I thought I’d share my mom’s chili recipe. I asked her where it came from and she said, “I made it up when you were a kid”. 🙂 I didn’t spend much time in the […]
Happy Wednesday, friends! Our Fall blog hop continues today over at Michael’s blog, Inspired by Charm. He’s shared a yummy butter pecan cupcake recipe and you’ll definitely want to swing over to his place to read all about it!

Hello! I’m feeling “foodie” today, and it’s been years since I first blogged about Kevin’s mom’s key lime cake recipe, so I thought I’d post it again for anyone who didn’t catch it the first time around. It’s soooo delicious! She usually makes it in a two-inch deep, 9×13 pan, but for this post, she […]
“We gather under flags and bunting to share food and memories…and to create new memories as well.” -Sister Schubert Happy Monday, friends! I hope you’re having a special time with friends and/or family on this Memorial Day. As we remember the American soldiers who have lost their lives in service, I also want to send […]
Hello! Each Wednesday I share some of the photos that stopped me in my tracks while I was scrolling Instagram the previous week. This week, I thought I’d share some of the food photos that had my mouth watering! 😀 1. @FlowerPatchFarmgirl‘s oatmeal: Her caption read, “This morning in oatmeal: overnight steel cut oats with plain Greek yogurt, […]
“There was a mood of magic and frenzy to the room. Crystalline swirls of sugar and flour still lingered in the air like kite tails. And then there was the smell-the smell of hope, the kind of smell that brought people home.” -Sarah Addison Allen Yesterday was a toughie. Sweet P started school (again) and […]
“Since as far back as I can remember, I have simply loved pie. I can’t really explain why. If one loves poetry, or growing orchids, or walking along the beach at sunset, the why isn’t all that important. To me, pie is poetry that makes the world a better place.” -Ken Haedrich Boy have I […]
