There is no mistaking - I love making pretty food and drinks! It's so much fun to get in the kitchen and see what I can create next. Occasionally, I create food twists by swapping out items or trying out variations of a classic recipe. What I love about making cocktails and drinks is that…
Spring starts March 20 and it cannot come soon enough. You already know how much I dislike winter. Just give me summer all the time! Believe it or not, we've had a real winter in Louisiana. We even had a little snow before it was technically winter and now the cold has set in. My…
So that's me after I cleaned out my fridge and saw what I had on hand to cook. (Yes, my sweater got dirty but nothing is perfect.) That's how I start off the weekends. Now, it's Sunday evening and that means it's time for another meal plan. I've already planned, shopped, and now there is…
Wow! It's already 2018! I took some time off to get creative, spend quality time with family but now I'm back. The end of 2017 was a success for this blog and it's motivated me to keep moving, keep pushing, and keep writing. I ended the year with this party plan and a quick look…
During the warm spring and summer months, I really enjoy drinking white wine. Chardonnay is my favorite white wine or a white wine blend. It's perfect when we're grilling or spending the evening outdoors. From time to time, I enjoy drinking white wine while I cook too. We recently had a bottle of white wine…

This year has been busy beyond belief! I've tried to not act like it but it's taken a toll on me. Don't get me wrong! A lot of good things have happened that I'm grateful for. My blog has a growing income that I'm excited about. (It's been a long time coming.) Also, I started…
Winter is a busy time. There are a lot of things to accomplish, yet the same amount of time to get it all done. When it comes to cooking, I'm always looking for ways to add convenience or even twists to traditional foods. Today, I'm sharing a new chili recipe with you that I feel…
Fall is officially underway! My schedule definitely gets more crazy during this time of year. In addition to the normal home, family, and life routine, we normally hit the road to visit family or have visitors. Whether I'm traveling or prepping the house for visitors, it's extra for my routine. That means I need to…
Winter is not my favorite season. I'd much rather it be summertime...all the time. I'm not ignorant to the fact that the cooler fall and winter months bring beautiful foliage, fruit, and vegetables though. What I do love is the trees that bring us sweet fruit and our one yellow rose bush. Our grapefruit and…
