If you know someone who loves to eat, drink, grill, or cook then this Holiday Gift Guide is perfect for the foodie in your life! There is something you should know about me when it comes to gifts. I love to put a lot of thought into each gift I give. But I also used to …
First how was your Christmas?! If you saw on Instagram we obviously had fun! So instead of your typical weekly dinner menu since we are still in holiday travel mode I thought why not get you set up with a New Year’s Eve Menu? We obviously will be watching the Bama game while we eat some of …
Whether it’s the main dish for your holiday or just a regular ol’ Sunday night dinner this Glazed Ham needs to be at the center of the table.
How was your Thanksgiving? Ours was full of traveling, hunting, shopping, cooking and more traveling. But there is nothing like going back home to Alabama and Georgia. Thanksgiving came just in time too especially since I am back in the kitchen. This year I contributed creamed corn, spiced pecan pumpkin bread, apple pie, and pumpkin pie. As …
I feel like Deviled Eggs are the quintessential dish you have at the holidays. Easter, Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas….And let’s not forget it’s perfect for those BBQ’s. We can always count on celebrating John’s birthday around Memorial Day. This past weekend we not only got to go home but go up to John’s family farm. …
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 …
I struggled with titling this cake recipe as well as posting about it for Beer Month. I made this for Easter and it was a hit! 4 weeks ago I would have easily called this Irish Car Bomb Bundt Cake but after the recent bombings in Boston my heart was filled with hurt and anger that I didn’t …
I think this was probably one of the first dishes I learned how to make because it was so easy. Now I did not say how often I ate it because despite the creamy and rich sauce the fettuccine bathes in, let’s be honest it is not low cal. But for that night you want to indulge …
Olive Garden has a Chicken and Gnocchi Soup that I have been dying to remake so I thought why not use my favorite vegetables kale with it?! The broth is a combination of chicken stock, half and half, and Parmesan cheese. I chose the half and half to make the soup a little lighter than some of …
Lately things have been a little crazy in the Hall house. Even though cooking is a great stress reliever for me, the crock pot comes to my rescue in times of need. Just chop a few veggies and add the rest of the ingredients and let the slow cooker do it’s thing. With this recipe you can change …
Again just like November we spent a lot of time traveling in December so I didn’t get to come up with a whole lot of new recipes. But don’t worry I have been cranking them out lately so stayed tuned! This is was hands down one of the best salads I have ever had! Baby …
To close out 2012, John and I went with some friends to Chicago to celebrate New Years. Every year we try to celebrate in a new city. We have celebrated in Birmingham, Atlanta, Nashville, Indianapolis and now Chicago. My mama’s side of the family lives in Chicago so I have done the tourist stuff- Navy Pier, …
I was originally planning to share my new coconut cupcake recipe I came up with last week for National Cupcake Day (December 15). That was until the cupcakes did not turn out the way I expected. Problem #1 – After baking them and pulling out a clean toothpick I realized shortly after that the rest of the cupcakes …
As far back as I can remember Christmas music would be playing while Dad and I bring the Christmas tree and decorations down from the attic. We assemble the tree, lay out all the ornaments, and then put them all on the tree. Mama is decorating the rest of the house until it is time …
This November we did a lot of traveling home so I didn’t get to cook as much as I would have liked to. Even though it was sooo nice to cook in my kitchen in Alabama for Thanksgiving though! I love a good Black Bean Soup and I love cheese! So when we were home for …
When I made the Salted Butterscotch Pretzel Chocolate Chip Cookies by accident last time I was pretty sure the next time I made cookies I would try my own thing again. And when I made it for the boys for Supper Club, I was delighted (okay that’s an understatement) I was beaming with joy when …
I have always loved potatoes and how many different things you can do with them. For breakfast, use them for hashbrowns, for lunch make a sandwich with potato bread, and for dinner you can have them as a side or make them part of the main dish. Here are a few of my favorite ways …
Do you have a go to menu? One that you have memorized and could do with your eyes closed? Well my two go to dishes are my country skillet corn and three cheese mashed potatoes. Every holiday, first time supper club, dinner party, I whip these up because they are stress free. [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:131]
Since this is the first time in the hous during the fall I have gotten super excited about decorating and having my first set of tricker treaters! My Pumpkin & Gourd Arrangement & decor in the dining room Front door wreath Pumpkin laterns & festive corn arrangement in the foyer All I am missing is …
We had a Crawfish Boil at our house Friday night which was great compliments to the chefs- Joe, Bryan, Jeff. Yes, I know I had a few control issues that I did not partake in the cooking so I of course made up for it with a few homemade dips- Jalapeno Cheedar dip and a Tomato Basil …
