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 [...]

Deviled Easter Eggs
Posted in Cooking on Mar 26th, 2013
There is probably a reason why bunnies and eggs have come to represent Easter, but I don’t know what it is. I have seen some pretty funny comedy sketches talking about it though, so at least the randomness provides a lot of humor. I am not a huge deviled egg fan- it is the texture [...]
This past Friday, Walker, Corby and I rode our bicycles over to Carolinas, a local restaurant that has been around forever. My father’s office building is right across the street, and literally, he goes there every day for lunch. And much to their enjoyment/chagrin, he has the same thing every day. He orders a chopped [...]
I was at the grocery store yesterday with Walker, and he was lamenting the fact that they never have his favorite fruit- Saturn peaches of course. I told him that they were not in season to which he responded, “Well let’s just go get ice cream then.” Which actually made perfect sense to me, so [...]
In addition to the Wine & Food Festival which kept Charleston in good eats all weekend, Corby and I got engaged! Which now of course means I need suggestions on food and recipes to serve at the wedding. Not one for long engagements, April 20th is the day- yes of this year. I know most [...]
About a year and a half ago, I had the immense pleasure of working with the Lee Brothers for a week while they did the food photography for their new cookbook- Charleston Kitchen. Well, the book has finally come out, and we went to a small launch party last night where I got to see [...]
I did not stay up to watch the Oscars. I wanted to, and I planned to, but I fell asleep putting Walker to bed. To be honest, I really haven’t seen many of the movies that were nominated, so I wasn’t totally invested. But I really do love watching the Red Carpet and all of [...]
We had the best time in the mountains with friends this past weekend. With 8 kids, 6 adults and 2 snow storms it was definitely a little chaotic, but the kids had a great time sledding and building snowmen, and the adults had an even better time sitting by the fire eating and drinking. The [...]
My Valentine’s day presents to Corby have ranged from venison beef jerky to a weird ridiculously toxic old fabric cleaner that his dad used to have and is apparently awesome. Clearly we are not traditional Valentine’s Day celebrators. This is mainly because Corby’s birthday is on February 16th, and he likes his birthday a lot [...]
Valentine’s Day is almost here which of course means I can eat red hots all day long. It doesn’t really but I am using it as an excuse. I love red hots. They are in my top five favorite candies, and sometimes they are really hard to find. Fortunately, they are always in the baking [...]
