I blink and life is moving at a 100 miles a minute. Do you ever feel that way? Spring is almost halfway over. But either way farmers markets are back here in the south which makes me one happy mama. And it’s time to start our garden! I can’t believe 3 of the 12 herbs …
So it’s been a while… Thank you for everyone’s patience with me updating emails…it looked like I doubled in emails for the Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups when really the second email was supposed to be for these Maple Glazed Donuts. Hope you didn’t miss either of these! Speaking of emails…if you haven’t had a …
Our home in Alabama is where we have had many dinner parties, our home in Indiana is famous for our Wednesday night dinners, but I have never thrown a party at my parent’s house before…that was until last week. My daddy came up with the great idea that we should have a party for my …
We all know how much I mention my mama on my site. And Sadly I cannot be in Georgia or Alabama to celebrate Mother’s day with both of my mamas. This is another downside to living up in Indy. But since I can’t be there I thought I would share this Seven Layer Salad recipe one …
Did you ever read Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs when you were a kid? The basic summary is food and drinks dropped like rain from the sky in a town called Chewandswallow. Sounds like a fun world to live in to me. But I wonder if they ever get to cook or even need to then because …
Both of my grandmothers passed away when I was really little so I did not have a chance to make a lot of memories with them. But I love when my mama and my Aunt Kitty share some of their stories with me. So even though I don’t have many memories of cooking with Grandma Hansen …
Like most girls I celebrate my birthday all month long (and when your birthday is at the end of the month you really do get to celebrate all month). I started out early by purchasing this great mirror for our guest bedroom. Then I got two new pairs of shoes (boots and sandals) But the official birthday dinners …
I can’t believe that this is my 100th post. Thank you to everyone who has been following me. I definitely have come far from the beginning from life as a newlywed & my recipe of the month to multiple recipes throughout the week and few tidbits here in there about our home life. My goal lately …
Last month I remade one of my favorite soups, Spicy Coconut Soup from Surin in Birmingham. So when John and I went back this weekend of course my normal routine of Surin, Ocarrs, and Olexas continued on. But this was possibly one of the best trips home since we have moved. We got to see John’s family, my family …
I recently returned from Dallas, Texas with John’s family. We went out for the opening Alabama game against Michigan. Here are some of the highlights of the trip! The Food The food was oh so good. Everyone knows this is one of my favorite things about traveling. Texas Spice Restaurant Brisket Hash with two poached eggs, …
John and I arrived in Seagrove, FL early Sunday morning to meet my parents for our beach vacation that I have literally been counting down the days until. My dad knows where my heart lies when one of the first few things he asks me is where do I want to go to eat this week? Now normally …
We got back from Seagrove, FL yesterday with my family and it was a much needed vacation. Look forward to hearing about all the yummy meals I had when we went down there; oh and yes there was the ocean and beach but let’s be honest the food was 60% of what I was looking forward to. …
It is not out of the ordinary that I cook something 5-6 nights out the week. But the past couple weeks I have taken my normal Sunday that is filled with checking things off my to-do list and really started relaxing and being still (Psalm 46:10). For those of you who know me this is …
