Yikes! It’s already Thanksgiving week. Anyone else feeling like it just popped up out of nowhere? I got my grocery shopping out of the way today (that’s probably late for some people, but I like to have things fresh, including the bird) and somehow missed the crowds. Now all I have to do is plan […]

I am going to skip all the excuses and just share a little life with you today.  We have just hit the THIRD trimester recently and I am baffled at where the time has gone with this second little baby in my tummy.  My time lately has been spent just doing life- getting through the […]

Mmm.. I am having good memories of this lasagna. Are you ready for cool weather comfort foods?  I’m sure you northerners are.  I’m getting in the mood myself, but the southern weather is getting in the way!  This lasagna is a great way to transition into fall- not too heavy, since there’s no meat involved.  […]

Can you believe I got off my pregnant behind (well, I guess I’m still on it) to write you a post today?  Things have been nuts/bananas around here lately- pregnancy drama-rama, busy schedules, all of that. I have sort of lost my cooking mojo lately, to be honest. I joined a little freezer co-op a […]

Good afternoon, earthquake survivors!  Seems like everyone is a little shook up today.  We didn’t feel it down here in GA, but if we had, I would certainly be celebrating survival with this crumb cake. Truthfully, I made this crumb cake about 100 million years ago and forgot to post it.  I found the photos […]

Hi muffins! I was making another batch of applesauce this afternoon and I realized that it’s something I’ve never shared with you.  I started making this applesauce when my little guy was six months old and ready to start solid food.  As you can probably guess, I wasn’t into buying pre-made baby food and instead, […]

One of my favorite things about living in Georgia is that Southern hospitality.  Shortly after we arrived in GA, we had the honor of sharing a meal at Miss Brenda’s.  This woman is the sweetest Southern gal you will ever meet!  I just love her laughter and smiles, her love for the Lord and her […]

Have all you smart little cookies out there figured out why I haven’t posted in a month? The rumours are true- baby #2 is baking in my belly. The first tri kicked me in the butt this time around (just finished it but still feeling sick, ugh), so I’m sure you’ll pardon my absence.  My […]

I mentioned in my last post that we love great bread at our picnics.  Sometimes we just tear it up and eat it in chunks with cheese and fruit and sometimes we’ll do sandwiches.  For some reason, great bread just makes a picnic more memorable (and obviously more delicious). This recipe is a perfect picnic […]

It’s been a little quiet this week, but I assure you that we’re all still here and no one’s dead or seriously injured.  Just a little family busyness going on.. pool-hopping, sweating through our clothes, family buzz cuts (not for me, i can’t rock that look) and other fun time heat wave activities. Ellie has […]

Wondering what you’re going to do with your pie dough scraps? Do you even have pie dough scraps?Sometimes I do.  Usually, I just throw them away, but if there’s a ton left over, I’ll make hand pies.  After my pie dough comparison, I had a lot of extra dough and had already made hand pies, […]

I have been on a quest to find a great pie dough recipe for quite some time. I keep thinking that maybe if I can find a great recipe, that making pie will be more enjoyable for me.  I still don’t think I’m there.. but the taste testing has been pretty delicious! I chose four […]
