We went to a friend’s wedding in Wilmington, NC this past weekend. I have never been to Wilmington, and it was awesome! We got into town on Thursday and walked down to a restaurant on the river. The city is so beautiful and strolling along the streets, the historic homes were so much fun [...]

Now that it is finally getting warm out and hopefully staying that way, there is nothing more refreshing on a hot day than the taste of lemon. For some reason to me, the taste of lemon always seems cool. This is a great recipe for a glazed lemon bread which is really a dessert, but [...]

The wedding is done, and we had a fantastic weekend! And the cake turned out well which I could not have done without the help of my dear college friend Lance!! Thanks to her secret icing recipe and talking me through some basics, it all came together! She is a fantastic baker, and if you [...]
I used to not like quiche. Most likely the reason for this is that I thought all quiche contained spinach because when my mother made quiche it was spinach quiche. I am still not a huge fan of cooked spinach- will eat it in my salad all day long. I like it fresh. Of course [...]
For those of you who watched the Superbowl last night- what did you think? For those of you who didn’t- it was a pretty interesting game- complete with a 35 minute delay because half of the stadium lights went out which caused quite a momentum shift.

So to combat the feelings of summer, I made gingerbread angels over [...]

A lot of this free time, Corby designates to reading time. He can spend hours and hours reading the Wall Street Journal Weekend Edition or various magazines [...]

It was about this time last year that we were getting ready to head out to see Corby’s friend’s Ladd and Ree- otherwise known as Marlboro Man and The Pioneer Woman. We stayed on their ranch for a few days and helped wrangle some cattle- it was pretty awesome. Since that time, I have to [...]
My mother’s homemade bread is the best. I am not kidding- everyone loves it. She gives it away as presents for Christmas, birthdays, new babies, house warmings- it is perfect for every occasion. She makes loaves and loaves of it at a time and then freezes them so that she always has bread to pull [...]
