My Memories Review and Giveaway
If you know me, you know I’m a crafter and one of the things I like to do is preserve our memories in scrapbooks. Before you click away let me let you in on a little secret. Did you know you don’t have to buy all the papers, stickers, markers, etc. in order to...
Warm Savannah Peach Cocktail
One of my favorite cocktails this winter time has been this Warm Savannah Peach Cocktail. While Paula Deen has had her fair share of press lately, I still like her. You can always use a person recipes as inspiration, you're never forced to eat what they eat. I...
Jalapeno Popper Bites
If you are looking for a last minute snack for Super Bowl this weekend, give these a try! My neighbor made them for New Years Eve and I’m hooked. They are super easy to make ahead of time then pop in the oven as you need them. If you’re more adventurous then feel free...
Sticky Sesame Chicken Wings
I have a huge stack of recipes I’ve pulled from online and out of magazines that I try when I have the time. The problem comes in when I tell my hubby what I plan on making for the week and bless his heart he likes to help and usually suggest other methods of cooking...
Smoky Shrimp and Grits
Being a Southern girl I love all the food in our region. Shrimp and grits is something I’ve never made believe it or not. This was a little fancier version, which I liked except for the sauce. I forgot to chop the spinach in small pieces so it was a stringy mess, but...
Basil and Pecan Sweet Potato Bake
Here’s another side dish that I made for our big Christmas dinner. It was an interesting combination of sweet and savory which was a huge hit with my hubby. This is an easy dish to make in advance and just pop in the oven when you’re ready. Basil and Pecan Sweet...
Pastura
For Christmas my mother in law suggested we do a cookie exchange. I’ve always wanted to do this, but never had enough people or the amount of time to participate. I recently saw some online ones to join so I might try to do that next year. This isn’t a cookie you can...
Green Rice
I think every family has a recipe like this. It’s one of the most comforting side dishes we have at every holiday meal. My grandmother added in some sautéed onion and celery, but I think it’s fine without. The photos are not some of my best, but I was in a hurry so we...
Hide Party and other happenings
I haven’t posted any pictures lately so to kick off this year’s season of rodeo I thought I would start with the Hide Party from last Friday night. Most of you probably have no clue what I’m talking about so I’ll give you a little information. Each year my husband’s...
Mac & Cheese with Roasted Chicken
I’m all about anything with Michael Symon, I would love to meet him one day! This was just an ok dish for us. While I thought it was good, I had to add more goat cheese to taste it and it needed a sprinkle of seasoning to kick it up and enhance the flavors. I would...
Spicy Thai Noodles
I had served these noodles with the Bang Bang Shrimp from Wednesday’s post. Although I didn’t follow the directions to a T, they where just ok. I probably won’t make them again, although if I had something better to pair it with then I might. I also didn’t care for...
Bang Bang Shrimp
I can’t get enough of these little shrimp! The sauce is fantastic, but I recommend just dipping the fried shrimp in the sauce rather than coated them all at the same time because they aren’t as crispy. I’m not a huge fan of seasoning a breading that is going to be...
