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 […]
As a Louisiana-living native, football is big part of my fall/winter schedule. Many weekends are spent around the TV watching all the football games. I can thank my husband for introducing me to football. He’s always been a big football fan and over the years I’ve actually become a fan myself. At the beginning of […]
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 […]
Bar carts are such a fun way to entertain guests or have essentials ready for your own needs. I’ve definitely been enjoying styling my bar cart with drinks, small bites, and more. Since we all have different styles, I’ve rounded up some favorites so you can also entertain guests with a bar cart. You’ll found neo-classical, […]
It’s no mystery that I don’t like dessert. After 12 years of marriage, I’m just starting to bake more this year. However, there is one dessert in the world that I can never get enough and I wish I could make. That is apple pie! Of course, it has to be served hot with vanilla […]
What I love about cooking is that you can always keep trying until you perfect the recipe. I believe food should be perfected, not just cooked. We eat way too much for it be mediocre. Cook it until it’s right! Since I made this cheese tray last year, I’ve been itching to make a new […]
Did someone say coffee? Yes, I did. I’ll admit that I’m a simple coffee and cream kind of girl. As a child, I’d visit my grandmother in the country and she would make “coffee milk”. That’s a little bit of coffee and a lot of milk and sugar. That’s how my coffee adventure started – […]
This meal came from being inspired in the kitchen. Honestly, I don’t normally place food on top of each other, but I couldn’t help this one. Plating the food right next to each other wouldn’t have been as visually-appealing as placing it all on top of each other. So that’s what I did and I’m so […]
As much as I love cooking “tried and true” recipes, sometimes it’s fun to explore with new ideas in the kitchen. With a picky family, that task can be a little tricky though. How do you really explore with recipes that already work? One way is by changing one or two things in a recipe. […]
