We have spent the most wonderful couple of days up in the mountains. We have been hiking, relaxing by the fire, watching movies and eating lots and lots. Growing up, my mother would always serve Sara Lee’s Butter Streusel Coffee Cake as a side for breakfast when we had a house party up here. She […]

Tomorrow morning our good friends and neighbors are heading out of town for 11 days. Last week their babysitter had to cancel, so we are going to take their 4 children while they are gone. I love these kids- ages 3,5,9 and 11 (and of course add Walker in who is 10). They are exceptionally […]
One of the easiest and best breakfasts is to make a German pancake. First they are delicious, second they poof which is fun to watch at any age, but especially for kids (I am talking really poofy if you are lucky), and third you can serve it with anything- fruit, syrup, powdered sugar, nutella etc. […]
Great New Cookbook- 25 Quick & Easy Gluten Free Desserts
Posted in Breads, Breakfast, Cooking, Desserts, Dinner, Fun on Feb 11th, 2014
I feel very fortunate to be able to eat wheat or flour or whatever it is that causes people Celiac disease, and I have not had much experience with eating or cooking gluten free. However, after spending some time with friends who suffer from Celiac disease, I thought I should add some gluten free recipes […]
I am not sure what Thanksgiving is like in your family, but we usually eat our meal in the late afternoon. I like this because it gives everyone plenty of time to do what they need/want to do beforehand. Corby has a tradition of going for a Thanksgiving day bicycle ride which is usually 40-50 […]
I have seen lots of pictures on Facebook of friends with their children picking apples and enjoying the crisp fall weather. While we don’t really have apple picking down here as such, I do love living vicariously through my friends that live further north. Fortunately, my yahoo.com home page seems to read my mind occasionally, […]
Even though it was a short week, I am so glad it is Friday. We don’t have much planned for this weekend other than some school projects due next week and of course Walker’s football game bright and early on Saturday morning. I was trying to think what would be a good breakfast for him […]
Callie’s Biscuits and Southern Traditions
Posted in Breads, Breakfast, Cooking, Desserts, Dinner, Fun on Oct 9th, 2013
I am so so so excited for Callie’s Biscuits and Southern Traditions cookbook to come out on October 15th. Callie’s is a staple at parties in Charleston from her amazing biscuits to the delicious pimento cheese- everything she makes is fantastic, and I am thrilled that she is putting out a cookbook! I am also […]
It is one of the all time great debates- how to make the perfect Bloody Mary. Of course, this is all dependent on people’s tastes etc, but what I think makes the perfect Bloody Mary for me is what leads up to drinking it. This past weekend we went to visit my sister in New […]
On Sunday, Corby and I walked up to the Starbucks to get an iced-coffee and my weirdo son Walker a hot chocolate. I say weirdo affectionately and only because it was 90 degrees outside and who wants a hot chocolate when it is 90 degrees? Corby also got a croissant. I love a croissant. They […]
