This is a fun grown-up drink I made with some leftover peaches, bourbon I had from brining our turkey at Thanksgiving and sweet tea I made for lunch one day. It’s tastes like summer time in the South. I can imagine drinking this in a rocking chair on a front porch while the sun in going down. […]

Southern Sweet Tea
Sweet tea is something my parents didn’t make when I was growing up even though we lived in the south. My dad’s parents were northern transplants, and they all drank unsweet tea. The first time I had sweet tea I was at our neighbors house when I was about 12 years old, and it was […]

Peach, Basil & Goat Cheese Quinoa Salad
Summer is in full swing, and I got the bug to make a batch of summery food this week. It all culminated into one productive morning with a lot of over ripe peaches that were left in our fridge when we had to unexpectedly make another trip to Florida two weeks ago for my grandmother’s funeral. […]

Easy Summer Rolls
I never knew how easy summer rolls are to make. I also wasn’t sure if I would like them since they are cold, so I was totally caught off guard by how much I looooved them! My friend Gloria Lee taught us how to make these. In our house, she is referred to by Arabella […]

The Best Asparagus Recipe
My husband use to be a really picky eater. Since we’ve been married, he has learned to eat so many new things because he was willing to try them. I realized it’s all about how you cook things. The first time I made asparagus for him, I made it this way, but I wrapped it […]

Strawberry Thai Chicken Salad
This salad is so diverse in flavor that I debated for a long time on what to call it. It has chicken, strawberries, balsamic vinegar salad dressing, basil and coconut cashews. It’s kind of like an Italian-meets-Thai salad. I know that sounds a little weird, but it’s so good that I found myself trying to […]

The Best & Most Versatile Grilled Chicken
I want to begin by saying that this recipe is not my own. I have changed an ingredient to it to accommodate what I actually have in my pantry. I’m all about not going out and buying one ingredient so I can make a recipe. If you’ve read any of my previous posts, you’ll know […]

Homemade Croutons
I love making things with leftover food instead of throwing it away or wasting away in the fridge or pantry. This helps me save money for our family and gives me a little challenge to create new things. I had some leftover bread I made in my bread machine that needed to be used up […]

Easy Egg & Spinach Breakfast Wrap
My mom gave me the idea for this yummy little breakfast or brunch wrap. I just added the spinach. You could easily change this up with some red pepper or spice it up with some Sriracha hot sauce or red pepper flakes. I originally thought I would drizzle a little balsamic vinegar dressing or italian […]
