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. My friend Josh (who does subscribe to their service) came over and made it for us a while back. It’s their sweet potato and black […]
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! Does that make your mouth water, or what?! 😀 I’m re-sharing one of my mother-in-law’s delicious […]
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 […]
“Feeding people makes me happy. It’s just about as plain and simple as that.” -Stacey Little I invited a super-talented (local) fella over to guest post today, and I’m so excited for you to e-meet him if you haven’t already! His name is Stacey Little and his first cook book The Southern Bite Cookbook came out […]
“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” ―Marcel Proust Times like these, I wish you were here. I’m making a pan full of apple crisp! Peeling and chopping… Zesting and squeezing… Cinnamon and nutmeg, mmmmm! Times like these, I wish you […]
First of all, thank you so much for weighing in on our fridge dilemma! Ours is still broken, but I followed the handy-dandy link some of you left in the comment section in last Friday’s post and it took me straight to a PDF of Whirlpool’s “Second Through Fifth Year” refrigerator warranty…something I didn’t even know […]
True story: our next door neighbors (Scott & Tammy) came *this* close to buying our house before we did. Yep. The layout wasn’t quite right for them either though, so instead, they built an almost identical house on the lot to the left of ours. They added an extra bedroom downstairs, and fixed the funky […]
