Pizza nights have long been a family-favorite at our house. It is a definite signal that it is time to kick back a bit and relax. It is time to enjoy our family time laughing and talking as we each b...
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Florida Orange Juice. All opinions are 100% mine. Now that our schedules have relaxed a little bit for the summer, we’re becoming a li...
Congratulations to Allison, comment number 255! Happy Memorial Day weekend! I have a little something, something for ya! I’m giving away a Cuisinart 2 quart frozen yogurt, sorbet and ice...
Cheeseburger quesadillas have quickly become one of our favorite weekend treats. It’s easy to see why. Filled with steakhouse hamburgers, caramelized onions, a little salad, cheese, and a speci...
Caramelized Onion and Thyme Flatbread. Doesn’t the name alone just make your mouth water? This past weekend we celebrated the last day of school with a fun pizza and movie night. Little Buddy c...
Since I posted the recipe for my Mama’s Southern Potato Salad I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the other potato salad. The one I loved so when we traveled in Germany. Warm, baco...
I used to take it for granted. The smell of yeast as it foams in the bowl, gnawing away at the sugar feeding it. It is a smell I’ve always known, one that would greet me as I walked into either...
Bright green stalks of asparagus are popping up all around lately – at our local farmer’s market and in the produce department at my grocery store. I keep kicking myself that they ...
Mother’s Day is just right around the corner and it always seems to bring with it the endless advertisements for kitchen appliances and gadgets. Those things are definitely special and a...
As the school year is winding to a close, I realized my niece will be starting her final summer of high school. Which caused me to then realize that this time next year, she’ll be off to colleg...
Growing up, one of my favorite meals that my Mama would make were her tuna melts. Now, I’m sure they were most likely like every other tuna melt that Mama’s across the country were making...
My husband and son are in and out this weekend so I decided to make myself a quick lunch just for me. What is it about cooking for yourself when you are used to cooking for everyone else that ...
Lately, I’ve been craving pesto but have gone through all of my basil pesto that I made and stored away last summer. Unfortunately, my basil hasn’t come in for major use. What has been pl...
I woke up with an undeniable craving for banana muffins the other morning and I had an idea to make them over-the-top delicious. I could taste them long before I even got into my kitchen to make them...
Lately, I have only been buying all-purpose flour at the grocery store. A few years ago, I kept a canister filled with all-purpose flour and another filled with self-rising on my kitchen counter. Wha...
Grape salad is one dish I could always guarantee would be served at our family reunions when I was growing up. Usually, it would be stuck on the backside of the long counter of the church fell...
I woke up on Saturday morning with a spring in my step and itching to get into the kitchen. As I hopped out of bed (okay, a little bit of a quicker roll than normal, but you know what I mean), I quic...
The Easter Bunny included a bag of Coconut M&M’s in Little Buddy’s Easter basket this year. To say that Little Buddy was a bit perplexed at the inclusion would be a huge overst...
Okay, so remember that Frozen Fruit Salad that I talked about the other day? Well, if you even half-way thought about making it, this is going to send you right on over the edge. You should ju...
There is a frozen fruit salad that my aunt always made when I was growing up. It was far from my favorite. Green with pecans and pineapple bits, she would serve it on a lettuce leaf alongside a plate...
What is it about pasta? I could eat it every day of my life and be a very happy girl. You’ll always find a stash of great pasta in my pantry including lasagna, linguine, angel hair, fet...
Yesterday, Connie asked a question on Facebook about recipes for using leftover ham from Easter that didn’t include ham and bean soup. She really got my wheels turning and I thought it would be...
I hope y’all had a great Easter! I’m still full from all the glorious food we had yesterday – ham, potatoes, salads, you know… the really good stuff. Today, I’m sure I...
Since we’re camping for a little over a week, I knew I wanted to plan meals that were not only easy to prepare, but also used similar ingredients so I didn’t have to overstuff the RV refr...
I grew up being the official taste-tester when my Mama made her potato salad. I’d pull the kitchen stool as close to the area of the bar where she was making her potato salad as I possibly coul...
One of my favorite jobs growing up was helping my Grandmother Verdie make her Jam Thumbprint Cookies. I’d watch her as she mixed together all of the basic ingredients for the cookies, butter, s...
A Southern Easter lunch or supper is a meal that is full of everyone’s favorites in my family. While the eggs have been dyed and hidden in every imaginable hiding spot for the younger members o...
My family loves to eat fish, even Little Buddy. His favorite sandwich besides peanut butter and jelly is a grouper sandwich that he just can’t get enough of during the summertime, especially. A...
It’s certainly not a secret how much I love citrus flavors. From lemon buttermilk waffles to coconut lime cheesecake bars and even a tangerine Julius, I’ve been loving it lately. Recently...
