Butter Streusel Coffee Cake

We are taking a house party up to Linville in about a month, and I am so excited for it that I have already started planning the menu.  I was going to the traditional spaghetti sauce, homemade bread and salad for dinner one night because it is what we always have for house parties in […]

We sadly left Twilight this past Sunday, but we drove to Linville and are thrilled to be here.  This view is worth any amount of driving!  As I have said before, Linville in the summer always makes me think of blueberries because we used to have blueberry bushes on the hill behind the house.  There […]

My Grandmother’s Chicken Salad

Posted in Cooking on Jun 6th, 2012

My grandmother used to make the best chicken salad in the world.  Whether we were visiting her in Columbia or up in the mountains, during the summer, there was always a big green tupperware container of chicken salad in the refrigerator.  She refused to give my mother the recipe for years which was pretty maddening […]

We took 14 people up to North Carolina with us this past weekend, so including us, there were 12 adults and 5 children (and 2 dogs). It was a packed house, but we all had so much fun!  Corby, Walker and I drove up on Thursday night which also happened to be Corby’s birthday- we […]
